Sarah KawakamiGUEST
We create sun protective fabric clothing for the entire family to encourage that outdoor play.

Alex KawakamiGUEST
We use prints and artwork from my grandparents' company that they started back in 1953 called Iolani Sportswear.

Alex KawakamiGUEST
So we are third generation as well for Iolani Sportswear and carrying that tradition on with Alika'Leo Park.

I'd love to hear a little bit more about that, how the business started and how your family ... how your family's, you know, Iolani Sportswear influence in what you create today.

Alex KawakamiGUEST
So my, my grandparents started it in 1953, and then my dad took over and my mom got involved as well.

Alex KawakamiGUEST
And then Sarah and I slowly piece by piece got involved with different parts of the company.

Alex KawakamiGUEST
And finally in 2016, we really both got involved in it in different parts of the company.

Alex KawakamiGUEST
And we're building it and, and doing a lot of work with the aloha shirts, the women's lines.
