About Kanani and Company
The Name
A very important aspect of Hawaiian culture is the giving of a personal name. In ancient Hawai'i, names often meant more than one thing. "Kanani" has only one. It means "The Beauty." We chose the name for its purity and accurate description of its English meaning.
The Exclusivity
All of Kanani creations are one of a kind. This is only possible because every piece is exclusively hand set one Swarovski crystal at a time.
The Materials
Kanani products are created using the finest base materials and Swarovski crystals available. The materials represent the quality discriminating consumers value and recognize. Swarovski embellished products show off the exceptional crystal purity and cutting precision guarantee exclusivity and quality beyond compare.
Havaianas sandals are the slipper of choice for embellishment by Kanani's artist and marketing team. The name Havaianas (pronounced ah-vai-YAH-nas) is Portuguese for Hawaiians. The butter-soft, bouncy, flexible and durability come from a 42-year old secret rubber formula. Since being introduced to the United States three years ago, Havaianas have created an unprecedented cult following. Now referred to as the "best rubber sandal in the world," Havaianas can be seen gracing the pages of the hottest fashion and sport magazines, strutting down the runways at New York Fashion Week and featured at red carpet events. Stylish Americans, including top athletes, rock stars and celebrities demanded the butter-soft comfort of these inexpensive flip-flops.
Like Kanani, Havaianas and Swarovski represents the height of unmatched quality, unique variety, crystal brilliance, latest trend information and cutting edge design innovations.
The Artists
Kasey Meheula is the mother of four daughters. All of the girls get in the act at some stage of creative development. Some participate in the color selecting while others perform marketing tasks like Brand awareness (wearing the products before anyone else gets to buy them) and two of the girls actually assist in the decorating. This newly tapped talent is the outcome of wanting more than the ability to find the quality and selection a family of 5 women require. Kasey and the girls surrender to the magic of producing fascinating creations with flip-flops, handbags, phone covers and hair accessories. Watch here often for their newest creations.
