Behind The Brand

Inspired by a love of travel and immersive experience, Tiare Hawaii is a global beachwear brand leading the independent category.

Our Story

Tiare Hawaii was founded in Hawaii in 2009 by Jane Hoskins. Inspired by a love of travel and immersive experience, it's become a global beachwear brand leading the independent category.

We use the beauty of nature around us and our love of travel as inspiration to create the colors and bohemian details in our garments. All of our pieces are handmade using traditional dyeing techniques that have been used for centuries.

It's our mission to bring you a piece of paradise Anywhere You Dream.


Our Process

Process is everything to us, so rather than use digital printing that can lack the luster and personality our pieces demand, we look to old-world techniques to create new versions of paradise.

Batik Printing

Our organic dyes and are kissed by Mother Nature’s magic to create deep colors. Using a hand-stamped hot wax process we carry on tradition and create vivid new patterns.

How It's Made

Each Tiare Hawaii design starts with passion. Passion for Hawaii, passion for materials, passion for adventure, and the drive to make pieces you’ll love forever. So how does a dramatic sunset or vivid travel memory become a Tiare Hawaii staple?

Let’s take a look into our process to create paradise…

Step 1: Inspiration Is Around Us All  

Our prints are personal. Whether it’s the shores of the island we call home or the hibiscus gardens of Waimea, we look to natural beauty to guide our designs. From there, it’s all about the details that bring personality and individuality to each design.


Step 2: Sketch Time

Step 2: Handmade Paradise

Not only are Tiare Hawaii pieces printed, dyed, and constructed by hand, we often draw our patterns by hand to add a pop of personality and uniqueness. We work with graphic designers to refind each print, playing with color, shape, and scale to find the right match for each piece.


Step 3: From the Screen to the Dream

Once our design is finalized, it’s ready to print and, like our initial drawings, we bring that personal design ethos and principle into producing our patterns. That means we’re committed to producing handmade pieces made with love using traditional techniques by local artisans.


Step 4: Capture the Moment

Once we receive and approve our latest designs it’s time to bring them to life. There’s no better way to highlight the dreamlike wonder, individuality, and vibes of a new design than to work with models that embody the Aloha Spirit. We look for unique destinations on our personal bucket lists to not only let our pieces shine but inspire your wanderlust.


Step 5: Time To Shine

The final step in bringing these pieces of paradise to market is shooting all their vivid color, delicate details, and breathtaking movement in the studio. Like a painting in an art gallery, we want our product images to showcase the artistry and imagination of every design.


Step 6: Our Story Is Your Story

The best part of putting our passions into prints, dyes, and designs is seeing where they take you. From seeing our pieces captured on your travels or brightening up your day-to-day, we’re moved to push our island-inspired styles even further. In fact, part of our process is listening and learning from our loyal customers, so you’re always welcome to leave a review, offer feedback, or showcase your style on social media.

My job is placing a ball in my coworker's laps until they play with me! I love, sticks, balls, tug o war! I'm an energetic and vocal pup who lets you know when I wants to play (which is all the time) and I tend to be more interested in people and their ability to play tug o war than my four-legged friends. I'll do anything for treats and I can be a real cuddle bug when it is time for bed.
