the mind behind it
Welcome to Sacred Hau; I am truly over the moon that you've taken the time to learn about how this business came to be
The idea to create HAU came to me while I was living on North Shore O'ahu, the only place I've ever considered to be 'home'
I am inspired & humbled daily by the beauty & simplicity of nature. As a novice freediver & skydiver, I feel most connected to the earth from far above & below. These are the only times I feel at peace, so I felt it was important create a label that I also felt at peace with
I hope my affinity for aesthetics & distaste for the 'noise' that comes with living in this crazy world can resonate with you as well
From the bottom of my heart, I look forward to bringing you high quality products that bring you nothing but happiness & joy
-Marie
Behind the name
Sacred Hau was inspired by the indigenous Hau tree, also known as the sea hibiscus. It can be found growing alongside coastlines & rivers & produces bright yellow flowers. When the flowers fall, they oxidize & turn into an incredible combination of coral, yellow & deep red like magic!
The native Hawaiians used this tree for medicinal & non-medicinal purposes. These included using the sap to reduce pain during labor, skillfully using the wood for parts on outrigger canoes, as well as crafting sandals & fishnets. We have a tremendous amount of respect for native Hawaiian culture & the history of Hawai'i. Follow this link to learn more about the incredible land & people that helped inspire Sacred Hau
