While we love that sustainability is trendy now, we’ve prioritized it since before it was cool. Decades ago, we founded Wings Hawaii on a mission to upcycle vintage treasures into new pieces of art, and to create original pieces using eco-friendly materials and methods. From repurposing vintage fabrics, to ethically sourcing our shells and recycled metals, to reusing every extra scrap we can, we live and breathe eco-consciousness in all aspects of Wings.

Behind our products are very real (and very cool) people. We've got a dream team that makes Wings Hawaii thrive: a small-but-mighty force of incredible women, each bringing their own special skill sets to the bigger picture. We adore our Wings team, so read on to get to know the gals behind the brand! 

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, honoring a milestone, or seeking a special gift, Wings Hawaii has an amazing selection of February, March, and April birthstone jewelry, all expertly handcrafted in Maui with intention and sustainability.

Whale season in Maui is back! Hawaii’s beloved humpback whales, or koholā, have recently been spotted offshore during their annual trek to the Islands. Maui whale-watching season is typically from December through April, usually peaking in February.

Here at Wings Hawaii, we’re endlessly inspired by these majestic creatures and love watching them every year. So we’re sharing our staffers’ best tips on how, where, and when to spot whales on Maui in this 2025-2026 season, either by land or sea. We're also excited about Tara Timpone's newest whale photography prints! She shares the amazing stories behind her magical encounters.
