Coco Moon began with the simple idea for a Hawaiʻi-inspired baby blanket that everyone in our family would love and connect with. Since then, it’s evolved into so much more, helping families create beautiful memories with their ʻohana, and becoming a vehicle through which we can support our local communities.

OUR STORY

Growing up the daughter of a Maui waterman connected me to our island culture.

My fondest memories are of long days on the ocean—diving, surfing, and fishing until the setting sun painted the sky. I came to appreciate that connection even more when I moved to the mainland for college and career. And it grew even stronger when I returned home to Hawaiʻi to start my family.

Late one night while nursing my son, my mind began to wander as I once again reached for the pareo I often used as a baby blanket. Though it functioned well enough, it had no lasting meaning to me—far from a cherished baby keepsake. I longed for something that connected to the Hawaiʻi I love, where a deep sense of community, beautiful arts and traditions, and devotion to ‘ohana are woven into all we do. In essence, Coco Moon was born that night.

Community Impact

When we started giving back in 2017, we had no idea the impact we would make ten years down the line.

As a company so rooted in the culture and spirit of Hawaiʻi, and all things babies, it was only fitting that we help support some of the most vulnerable babies of Hawaiʻi in any way that we can. The Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women and Children was the perfect way for us to do just that. We’ve now donated over $84,000 to Kapiʻolani, supporting families and keiki during some of their most challenging times.

As someone who was impacted by so many programs that were aimed at supporting Hawaiʻi families growing up, I feel overwhelmed with gratitude being able to give back to a community that has given me so much. I can only imagine the impact we are able to make as we continue our Giving Back Program in the coming years.
