About Us
Rooted in the vibrant spirit of Hawai‘i, 2BDesired was founded by Desiree Akiona with a vision to celebrate family, culture, and connection through thoughtfully designed apparel. What began as a personal passion has grown into a beloved destination for matching family outfits, swimwear, and accessories designed to bring people closer together — whether at the beach, on vacation, or in everyday life.
As the creative heart behind every collection, Desiree Akiona continues to design each release with intention, personally hand-drawing many of our exclusive prints and collaborating with talented local Hawaiian artists. Every piece reflects the beauty of the islands and tells a story inspired by heritage, nature, and the joy of togetherness.
Today, our journey has become even more meaningful as our family continues to grow alongside the brand. With our family actively involved in the business, we are proud to remain truly family owned and operated. Every collection is created with care, purpose, and aloha — from our ʻohana to yours.
We believe family is everything, and that dressing in harmony should feel effortless, stylish, and joyful. Whether you are creating memories for a special occasion or simply matching with your loved ones for a day by the shore, our collections are designed to celebrate those moments beautifully.
From our ʻohana to yours, mahalo for being part of our journey.
– The Akiona ʻOhana
