Artist Spotlight: reUNIQUE.

We have the pleasure of working with so many great artists! Especially our artists with a purpose. Jennii and is just that. reUNIQUE was born from a passion for repurposing and reusing found objects and materials. She has her own unique style to bring to the table. The materials are very industrial, but she has mastered the ability to make it feminine.

Great one of a kind necklaces with inspiring words.

Chunky, yet feminine necklaces.

Chunky, lightweight earrings.

Be inspired to start reusing and repurposing, it's great for the environment! First step, stop by Hapa Collective and check out reUNIQUE!

Drink Your Drink.

According to Chumbawamba, "He drinks a whisky drink, He drinks a vodka drink, He drinks a lager drink, He drinks a cider drink," and so can you! We have in some great accessories to entertain your guests, or even yourself.

Whisky stones keep your drink nice and chilled without watering it down...or scratching your glass! Awesome wood coasters.

For you Vintage lovers, we have a great shot set! Keep it as a collectable, but it's ready to be used!

Great wine cork candles, trivets, and coasters made in Torrance, CA!

We can all use a great laugh, right?? Perfect host/hostess gift...with a bottle of wine, of course!

Last, but not least, every Woman needs this shirt. It's a cute v-neck, great for a wine tasting adventure with friends!

'Tis the season, folks! Days are warm, nights are cool. Get everyone together, share some laughs, spill a little wine, be a little too loud...it's SUMMER!

Wait! Don't forget to come by Hapa Collective first :)

Artist Spotlight: Ditch Ink

Let's surf on over to the East Coast...Montauk, NY to be exact. To a surf spot, one of New York's gems, known as Ditch. Peter Spacek frequently surfed this spot, observing surfers new and old. It was in 2002 that he decided some etiquette needed to be put on paper. And the rest is history. He now has a great line of cards, T-Shirts, and more in shops all over the place!

Great T-Shirts for Men!

The perfect cards for that surfer in your life.

Here's one for the Ladies!

Everything is designed, printed, and produced in the USA.

Jewels to Howl About.

Howl, Woof, Purr, or Hiss...whichever is your cup o' tea. We've gotten some great jewelry in recently that'll help you show your four-legged friend some love.

"Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole."

From cute and funky to sophisticated, stop in and pick up your favorite breed. Let the world know how much you adore your furry companion(s)! Get them here at Hapa Collective.

By creating a gift-items business, women are able to have and maintain an opportunity for  sustainable employment.

They create beautiful jewelry and accessories:

Beautifully hand-crafted stone jewelry and coin purses and small bags made from recycled Sari's.
