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. 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.

Although this is an online business, Eddie and his 'ohana design and print in Honolulu, Hawai'i.

Generally speaking, we use screen printing to print. There will be some products where we will use either heat transfer vinyl or screen printed transfers. The printing process will be indicated in the product description. The price will also reflect the printing process. Screen printed transfers and heat transfer vinyl prints will typically be priced less than a traditional screen printed product.

Eddie designed the Stay Da Kine logo. It's the classic shaka sign but with the use of white space to represent the shaka. Additionally, the logo was designed to also represent the a'ama crab found near rocky shores along the beach.

We will typically use USPS Priority Mail. All orders are delivered from Honolulu, Hawai'i.
