Pan-Pacific, always
Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia are named together. NOTI never lets one island stand in for the whole Pacific.
About the company
A Washington State apparel company building NOTI — Native Of The Islands.
Company overview
Our story
NOTI was founded because the pride Pacific Islanders carry has lived mostly in family gatherings, church, sports, and do-it-yourself merchandise — rarely in a brand as polished and aspirational as the streetwear islanders actually wear.
The goal is a brand a Samoan student in Salt Lake, a Chamorro family in Guam, and a Fijian student in Auckland can all point at and call their own — clean enough for everyday, and unmistakably island.
The name does two jobs at once: NOTI is Native Of The Islands, and it is pronounced like “naughty.” The wink is permanent. The pride underneath is real.
Leadership
Founder & Owner
NOTI LLC is founded and led by its sole member, who makes every brand decision, from a new design to a new program, and holds the standard that nothing ships unless it is built to last. Founder details are available to funders and partners on request.
