Hawaii "Kanaka Maoli" Flag
Bought together
🏴 3' x 4.5' Hawaii "Kanaka Maoli" Flag with grommets and double stitched edges to reduce fraying.
✍️ The Design: For our "Better State Flag" series, the flag of Hawaii was an easy one. The "Kanaka Maoli" flag design was created in Gene Simeona in 2001.
Simeona stated that this unearthed design was “resurrected from an ‘original’ Hawaiian green, red and yellow striped flag, destroyed by British navy Capt. Lord George Paulet when he seized Hawaii for five months in 1843” and that it was Kamehameha’s personal flag long before the modern Hawaiian flag.”
🔲 "I like this but I want a sticker, not a flag." We got you covered!
A few months after starting Flags For Good, I realized I could fulfill my childhood dream of redesigning bad US State flags. So that's what I'm doing!
Our flags are durable 200D polyester (most flags you'll find on the internet are cheap ~75D). In our testing, we selected 200D as the perfect flag material; anything heavier doesn't fly well and the "back" doesn't get enough ink, anything lighter feels cheap and wont last very long.
We print this flag as a one-sided print and make sure that the back has ample (around 90%) bleed-through.
Each flag is folded by hand on our dining room table and ready to be used on a flag pole, boat, hung on a wall, or to proudly march with.
Created in the most Earth-conscious way we can. We use home-compostable and discreet shipping bags.
Customer Reviews
Most people believe this design to be the original flag of the Hawaiian Kingdom and created by our first mōʻī kāne (king), Kamehameha I. Mahalo (thanks) for sharing the true history of this design in the description, as our design of the Kingdom’s flag has very deep meaning and should not be overshadowed by a newer one. Although it has no deep connection with our history, this flag has become a symbol of unity for kānaka maoli (true natives) of Hawaiʻi. I would love to see if you could incorporate our kingdom’s flag and maybe our royal flag into your site as well.
I love the flag! It’s on the smaller side but I enjoyed it and it’s hung up in my room 🥰
This is the 8th flag I've bought from the company and they all have been amazing quality. This flag is fantastic as usual, however the grommets seem to have been clamped down weird on the fabric causing the hoist to appear a little wrinkled. Other than that, the colors are very vibrant and the stitching is perfect!
