Our Story

Named for the tree that survived.

The town burned. The banyan didn't.

We're named after the great banyan in the center of Lahaina, Maui — the tree that stood through the 2023 wildfires when so much around it was lost. Our first shop burned along with much of the historic town, but the banyan endured: scorched, replanted, and still gathering the community beneath its branches.

That's the spirit we carry to Waikiki. Resilient work, made to last, in a place where everyone is welcome.

Every piece begins with a conversation. Our artists listen to your vision, draw from reference and imagination, and put ink to skin only when you're confident in the design.
