If you’re looking for a signature piece of clothing for your music ensemble, community club, or church group, you’ll want something of high quality with meaningful history. The Honolulu, HI-based Bete shares those priorities, infusing both quality and significance into their collection of traditional Hawaiian clothing.

Here, the team outlines 3 reasons to choose their mu’umu’us, Aloha shirts, and other custom traditional clothing for your organization:

• Historical Value: Founded in 1959, Bete was established as a result of owner Betty Manchester’s mission to provide women in Hawaii with fashionable, yet classic mu’umu’us to celebrate the state’s heritage and preserve its culture with traditional clothing. That mission has endured even after the current owners took over the company in 1994, as they have upheld the essence of Betty’s designs. Bete combines modern business sense with a passion for tradition, making it a perfect choice for Hawaii-based organizations looking for affordable clothing.
• Options For Everyone: Bete began selling mu’umu’us for girls ages two and older, and today, they offer more than 30 different varieties of the traditional Hawaiian dress with five top-selling styles. Each has a different take on the vintage mu’umu’u, yet maintains the simple, flowing general look. The company also offers custom-made options for your group, and even sells Aloha shirts so that the men aren’t left out from enjoying Hawaiian clothing!
• Quality Materials: By choosing Bete your organization is helping to support a locally owned business, where the factory is operated by native Hawaiians and all the traditional clothing is made on-site. Moreover, the company is committed to quality, enduring material, with a value on good workmanship that produces classic, clean designs.
