The Aloha Collection co-founders used their creativity to solve a common problem.
We are all works in progress; even the successful women you see owning it on Instagram faced stumbling blocks along the way and continue to work hard to stay at the top of their game.
TMRW: As a private mortgage banker and flight attendant, where did the idea for Aloha Collection come about?The initial idea came from me being a flight attendant. I always had a wet bikini. I didn't want to use a plastic bag from my layover hotel so I would wrap my wet bikini in a sarong, which wasn't a good solution. Traveling the world with a carry-on doesn't allow much space for anything extra, so my search for a lightweight bikini bag hatched the idea of Aloha Collection.
TMRW: You each contributed $2,000 and then launched a Kickstarter. What was it like to crowdfund and what kind of support did you receive?After getting a logo, a trademark and a couple of samples, our initial $4,000 was gone. We went back to the drawing board and launched a Kickstarter campaign. With the help of friends and family, we raised $6000, which was enough to go into production.We started with two pouches.
TMRW: As a company owned by native Hawaiians, you give back 5% of annual profits to Hawaii-based conservation organizations. Why is this so important to you?Giving back to Hawaii is important to us. Hawaii is our home. Hawaii has given us so much. We want to give so that future generations can enjoy the culture and natural beauty that we grew up with.Just start. There are so many reasons not to. It is never going to be perfect. And it's not going to be easy.
