How everything started

Good evening,

My name is Alina Papalexandratou and I am the creator of the brand “Honolulu Headbands”.

I am married and have two children—Stelios, who is nine years old, and Evgenia, who is five.

I studied education and have been working as an educator since 2007. I adore children and, by extension, children's fashion. I’ve always enjoyed observing well-dressed kids wearing carefully selected hair accessories.

When I gave birth to my daughter, I started looking for the perfect headband for her. I wanted it to be elegant and, at the same time, gentle on her skin. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for on the market, so I decided to make my own headbands out of soft fabrics, offering a wide variety of colors and designs. That’s how “Honolulu Headbands” was born in 2017.

Because I wanted to raise my children without outside help, I chose to create a workspace inside our home. So, in the afternoons, we all work together.

Many of the fabrics I use are sourced from the United States, and you’ll notice they’re incredibly soft and come in beautiful colors. That’s also one of the reasons our designs are frequently updated.

Through my blog, I’ll be sharing thoughts and experiences as a working mother whose passion is to create and evolve, while remaining present in her family’s life.

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Warm regards,

Alina
