About us

Our Ori Story

One of us was born and raised in Wahiawā, the other flown and grown in Honolulu. Two locals at heart—grounded in the islands yet always reaching for what’s beyond the horizon.

We’ve always shared the same belief: the best way to understand the world is to see it with your own eyes—not through a screen or a lens, but by being there, feeling it, living it.

Wherever we travel, we bring a piece of that place back home.

For one, it’s the little keepsakes—those knickknacks that quietly hold the memory of a moment. For the other, it’s the colorful jewelry and accessories that carry the spirit of a place in every shade and sparkle.

Together, those pieces tell our story: a love for travel, discovery, and the beauty of connection—between where we’re from and everywhere we go.

About Ori HNL

Ori HNL was born in Honolulu, where island life teaches you to slow down and notice—the color of the ocean, the rhythm of the winds, the warmth of sunlight on familiar streets. Those quiet details shape how we see the world and everything we create.

The name says it all: Ori is short for Origin Honolulu, a nod to where we come from and the stories that shaped us. HNL represents Honolulu, both the city and the airport code—a symbol for home, and for all those who come and feel like it’s home too.

That’s the heart of Ori HNL: carrying the essence of place.

Each collection draws inspiration from Hawai‘i’s cities, towns, and landscapes—subtle details that speak to memory, connection, and identity. Our designs are understated yet intentional, created to feel personal, not performative.

We hope our pieces travel the world—sparking conversations, inspiring connection, and inviting shared moments of memory wherever they go. Because that’s what true style does: it connects people through story, emotion, and place.

Every Ori HNL creation is built on quality, rooted in memory, and inspired by the idea that locals always know—the stories, the spots, the feeling of home wherever you are.

Made for those who don’t need loud to be heard.

Designed in paradise. Inspired by place.
