The Story of STAY DA KINE.

The STAY DA KINE concept is the brain child of Hawai'i designer and t-shirt printer, Eddie Barinque.  His designs are created with former Hawai'i locals in mind.   Regardless of where Hawai'i people are living in the world, they can still maintain a connection to the Hawaiian Islands.

"I wanted to create designs that only people with connections to Hawai would understand," says Barinque.  

Although "da kine" can be anything, in this context it is a reminder to hold fast to local values such as Aloha and being Pono (righteous).  These values still apply whether you're in the islands or thousands of miles from home.

 

Remember... Stay da kine and you'll be fine!
