The Pearl Harbor tote, for the harbor the nation remembers each December 7. Heavy 12 oz cotton canvas with the Pearl Harbor vintage retro logo printed on both sides in white.

This canvas tote carries the Pearl Harbor vintage retro mark in white, plain and unadorned: a name kept in remembrance, made to order, offered without slogans or scenes for those who visit, who served, or who remember.

Durable cotton canvas tote bag made from heavy 12 oz (407 g/m²) canvas with a clean, minimalist look. One size 15" × 16" with 20" self-fabric handles for comfortable shoulder carry; sewn-in label. Retro logo printed both sides. A sturdy everyday carry for errands, books, or groceries—constructed from 100% cotton canvas.

Puʻuloa, the Y-shaped natural lagoon on the south coast of Oʻahu, was used by Hawaiians for centuries and developed as a naval base from the early 1900s, one of the finest deep-water harbors in the Pacific. On December 7, 1941, 353 aircraft from six Japanese carriers attacked the Pacific Fleet in two waves; about 2,403 people were killed, 1,177 of them aboard the USS Arizona, and the United States entered the Second World War.

The USS Arizona Memorial, dedicated in 1962, spans the sunken hull without touching it, and the Pearl Harbor National Memorial honors those lost that morning. This piece carries the name in remembrance; it is not a celebration.

How are items made and when will they arrive?

We make each item to order using premium blanks, embroidery and soft-hand prints. Production takes 2-5 business days (weekends and holidays excluded), then 4-10 days in transit via USPS, UPS or FedEx to U.S. addresses; most orders arrive within 6-15 business days.

How do I send a gift?

Enter the recipient's address as the shipping address and your own as the billing address at checkout. Nothing ships with a price; the package includes a plain packing slip. Tracking goes to your email, not theirs. For birthdays and holidays, order two weeks ahead to be safe.

All Pearl Harbor (Puʻuloa) Hawaiʻi Items

These shores were the heart of ʻEwa, a moku (district) counted among the political centers of Oʻahu before Kamehameha. Puʻuloa was its larder. Observers of old Hawaiʻi judged these bays the most favorable in all the islands for building loko iʻa, the walled coastal fishponds in which Hawaiians raised fish on a scale found almost nowhere else; people had tended them here since at least the mid-1400s. Shrimp, shellfish, and penned fish came out of Puʻuloa in steady abundance, and the families of ʻEwa built a settled, well-fed life around the harbor's quiet lochs.

Puʻuloa carried a deep weave of moʻolelo. Its beloved guardian was Kaʻahupahau, the shark goddess who, with her brother Kahiʻuka, was said to keep the harbor's waters safe for people; tradition holds that the two lived in caves beneath the lochs. Older stories credit the chief Keaunui of ʻEwa with opening the harbor mouth wider to the sea, and a moʻo (water spirit) named Kanekuaʻana with first bringing the pipi to Wai Momi. These were not idle tales but a community's map of its own waters — who watched over them, and how their abundance came to be.
