We are excited to offer these beautiful Hawaiian masks made by locals in Hawaii. Hawaii is important to us because Makai our dog who this business was named after was adopted from Hawaii. The islands of Hawaii have been impacted greatly by the pandemic so we wanted to support the locals. They have the highest unemployment in the US and so by offering these beautiful masks to you here in the mainland, we are helping and each Aloha mask you purchase from Makai Bow Ties you are also helping Kauai Humane Society as we donate a portion of each purchase to help animals in need.

The meaning of Aloha. So when you wear one of our Aloha masks, you are saying Aloha.

THE MEANING OF ALOHA:

Even if you’re not from Hawaii, you’ve probably heard the word “Aloha”. But do you know all the meanings and the significance of it? If you travel to the Aloha State, you will see and hear Aloha all around you. Many people might think it’s just a way of greeting and saying goodbye, but it means a lot more than that.

The true meaning of Aloha in Hawaiian is love, peace and compassion. The literal translation of Aloha from Hawaiian to English is “the presence of breath”. “Alo” is a Hawaiian word for presence and “ha” means “breath”.

The Aloha Spirit -

What does “Aloha” actually mean. When you travel to Hawaii, you might hear and learn about the Aloha Spirit. Aloha is one of the biggest symbols of Hawaiian lifestyle and culture. It means living and treating each other with love and respect.

The Aloha Spirit is also a state “law” in Hawaii to remind people to treat everyone with the same respect and care as their ancestors did. You might experience it by being greeted with the word Aloha.

The Aloha Spirit law according to Hawaii.gov:
“[§5-7.5] ‘Aloha Spirit’. (a) ‘Aloha Spirit’ is the coordination of mind and heart within each person. It brings each person to the self. Each person must think and emote good feelings to others. In the contemplation and presence of the life force, ‘Aloha’, the following unuhi laula loa may be used:

A - 'Akahai’, meaning kindness to be expressed with tenderness;
L - 'Lokahi’, meaning unity, to be expressed with harmony;
O - ‘Oluolu’, meaning agreeable, to be expressed with pleasantness;
H - ‘Haahaa’, meaning humility, to be expressed with modesty;
A - ‘Ahonui’, meaning patience, to be expressed with perseverance.

These are traits of character that express the charm, warmth and sincerity of Hawaii’s people. It was the working philosophy of native Hawaiians and was presented as a gift to the people of Hawaii.

‘Aloha’ is more than a word of greeting or farewell or a salutation. ‘Aloha’ means mutual regard and affection and extends warmth in caring with no obligation in return.

‘Aloha’ is the essence of relationships in which each person is important to every other person for collective existence.

‘Aloha’ means to hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen and to know the unknowable.” [L 1986, c 202, § 1]

There’s no place like Hawaii. We are lucky to live here and wish everyone could experience the Aloha Spirit. If you are lucky enough to come to Hawaii, please be respectful of the land and people who live here. Let’s spread the Aloha.

This July would be 4 years since Makai came home to Texas to live with us from the Kauai Humane Society. He is a special boy and we love him. The reason we started Makai Bow Ties is to support where we adopted him from and to spread Aloha through the products we make with Aloha or sell that shows the Hawaiian spirit that Makai has. It started with a bow tie but we will be offering Hawaiian shirts soon.

All you need is LOVE...

In July 2016, my husband Mario and I went on vacation for 12 days to Kauai. Because we have 5 dogs, I miss them when we travel. So I suggested to my husband we do the Shelter Dog Field Trip Program and take a dog out for a day on the island so they can get adopted. My husband thought it was a crazy idea. But while having breakfast, we scanned through the photos of all the available dogs on the Kauai Humane Society’s website. Makai’s photo popped up and I knew he was the one to take out. There was something about his special smile. Plus they said he is a Chihuahua mix which I love Chihuahuas. We called and said we wanted to take him out the next day. They said he is not available to go out as he is waiting to be adopted. We were sad. But I decided to volunteer to photograph the dogs for their website so they can get adopted. They were estastic and the next day, we came. As I walked back to see the dogs I will be photographing, I noticed Makai and he no longer is up for adoption since the person couldn’t take him. Makai was so excited to see me. I noticed he also has a deformed leg. I asked him if he wanted to go out for the day and he started talking back. So we checked him out and took him on the island. We went shopping at the market by the blow hole in Poipu. We took him to have tacos, and to the Farmers Market. We took him to the beach where I took his portrait for the website. He was so good. As the day ended, we dropped him off at the shelter. We felt very sad and my husband said to the front person, if he doesn’t get adopted in 30 days, to let him know. We went to dinner and I said to my husband, how about we take Makai home tomorrow to Dallas? He said are you sure? So we made the decision to adopt him. We called Alaska Airlines to get him a ticket on the plane under our seats. We Googled to come up with the right name for him. His name at the shelter was JoJo because apparently there are a lot of shave ice places name JoJo. So we decided on Makai Makana (which means Ocean Gift. We call him Makai for short).

Makai is a very special dog. Not just because he was born with a deformed leg but because Makai didn’t know that his life would be forever changed on that day in July as he was sitting in his crate at the Kauai Humane Society. Makai now lives in Austin at our home Aloha Hacienda and he enjoys his days playing with his brothers and sisters and nights sleeping on the bed all cuddle up.

Every purchase you make with our store, we donate a percentage to KHS. We are listed as a partner. https://kauaihumane.org/about-us/partners/
