The remarkable part about all things good is that they all come back around. Good fashion certainly does, time and again, making a return to the world of the contemporary with blasts of the past. Sunglass maker Maui Jim’s latest offering Hana Hou is yet another testimony to the good old adage that ‘all good things come back around’.
For all those who love vintage designs and classical styles, Hana Hou will be a pleasant surprise to lap on it. This round, vintage inspired frame combines a popular sunglass shape from years ago with the advanced, modern technology of Maui Jim's patented PolarizedPlus2® lenses.
Aptly called Hana Hou, a Hawaiian phrase implying ‘do it again’ or ‘one more time’, Hana Hou is an ideal choice for consumers with a love for classic, vintage sunglass styles.
The vintage round frame shape will suit most of the face types but will be ideal for those with oval or triangle shaped faces.
The classy pair of sunglasses have been offered in two colour combinations, antique pewter frame with neutral grey lenses and antique gold frame with HCL® bronze lenses. The colours too matching the theme of the classic design.
While the neutral grey lense is perfect for especially bright, direct sunlight, offering a rich colour and contrast, HCL® Bronze is perfect for everyday variable conditions, from full sun to overcast.
“Trends are abound as far as fashion accessories and utility products are concerned. But there are certain vintage styles that never lose their charm be it 1950 or 2015. There is a dedicated set of customers who just love anything classic and wait for our next vintage inspired design. For these set of people, Hana Hou will certainly be a delight,” says I. Rahumathullah, Managing Director, Maui Jim India.
The MauiGradient lenses, an exclusive feature of Maui Jim features a darker coating at the top that gradually gets lighter moving down the lens. So an appropriate amount of light is allowed to filter through certain areas, while less in places where protection is paramount. This lens offers all the color boosting benefits of Maui Jim’s PolarizedPlus2 technology.
Like all other Maui Jim sunglasses, Hana Hou too comes with the patented PolarizedPlus2® color-infused lens technology technology that wipes out 99.9% of glare, 100% of harmful UV and boosts color via specially designed lens treatments. So your view is clearer, with crisper contrast and amazing brilliance.

About Maui Jim:
Maui Jim began as one-man selling sunglasses on the beaches of Maui, Hawaii, back in the early 1980s. As local demand grew for sunglasses that provided advanced protection from the severe glare and UV rays of the Hawaiian sun, without distorting the beautiful colours of the Islands, the company developed proprietary technology, PolarizedPlus®, which was later patented and subsequently enhanced to create the company’s newest technology, PolarizedPlus®2.
Maui Jim was “born” with an original line of seven sunglass styles. Up to 1991, the sunglasses were exclusively sold in Maui, Hawaii. In 1991, the company was purchased by Hester Enterprises, and in 1994, Hester enlisted RLI Vision Corporation of Peoria, Illinois, to be the mainland distributor of Maui Jim Sunglasses for the ophthalmic market. Maui Jim, Inc. was established in December 1996, when Maui Jim Sunglasses acquired RLI Vision. Today, the company sells more than 86 styles and 200 SKUs and is the fastest growing polarized sunglass maker in the world.
