HONOLULU - The storied history of Hawaiian Airlines, Hawaiʻi's longest-serving carrier that introduced commercial air travel to the Islands in 1929, is being commemorated through an exclusive retail partnership with ALOHA Collection, the original splash-proof accessories brand. Starting today, in collaboration with luxury retailer DFS Hawaiʻi, a special edition Hawaiian Airlines 95th Anniversary Collection is available at the ALOHA Collection's store in Honolulu's Ala Moana Center, DFS Waikīkī, DFS Daniel K. Inouye International Airport and at www.Aloha-Collection.com.
The 11-piece collection features vintage takes on ALOHA Collection fan-favorite accessories. A new, aviation-inspired style called the Flight Bag honors the 1970s era of the Hawaiian Airlines' brand, which in 1973 introduced a montage of warm, sunrise-hues and the first iteration of Hawaiian's iconic Pualani, a distinct symbol of the carrier's history and one of the few feminine figures to front an airline. Made from ALOHA's signature KEEP IT LIGHT® Nylon, Flight Bag is lightweight and packable, making it a perfect stowaway you won't want to leave home without.
"This colorful collaboration is the perfect opportunity for our guests and ALOHA Collection fans to join our anniversary celebration with beautiful accessories that show their love for our brand no matter where they go, from island hopping at 25,00 feet to beach-front shopping in Waikīkī," said Alisa Onishi, senior director of brand and community at Hawaiian Airlines.

About ALOHA Collection
ALOHA Collection was born out of a love for travel, adventure, and the ocean. Founded by surfer/flight attendant Rachael Leinaʻala, and Kauaʻi native Heather Aiu, in the summer of 2014 with a single bag, a shared dream, and a Kickstarter campaign. Their initial launch was a success and soon after the brand took off. Retailers in Hawaiʻi were quick to embrace the line as these bags were unlike anything else on the market. As more doors opened, ALOHA Collection's popularity grew. Today you can find ALOHA Collection fans all over the world. This California-based brand with Hawaiian roots has grown into a true lifestyle brand. When not at home, you will now find Heather and Rachael running through international airports, cruising cafes in Europe, working from taxis in NYC, or on the beaches of Hawaiʻi dreaming up their latest inspiration.
