Our Commitment
The Founders Series is the studio's namesakes themselves. Le Chat Leeloo and Le Chat Zohan are woodcut-style portraits of the two cats this whole company is named for.
10% of every Founders Series scarf goes to the ASPCA.
Leeloo and Zohan run this studio. They sit on the proofs, supervise the packing, and appear on the scarves that carry their names. 10% of every Founders Series sale goes to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The ASPCA has worked since 1866 for cats who don't yet have a studio of their own.

Our Maui scarves begin on the mountain. Haleakalā Moonrise is the volcano itself; Mākena Bloom is the coast in its shadow.
10% of every Maui scarf funds native forest restoration on Haleakalā.
Before Leeloo + Zohan, our founder volunteered at the Auwahi Forest Restoration Project on the slopes of Haleakalā. The work is replanting native Hawaiian trees that grow nowhere else on earth. It was one of the great experiences of a life spent looking closely at plants.
Only 3% of Hawaiʻi's native dryland forest remains. One of the rarest ecosystems on the planet. Our work begins in the archive, among flowers pressed and painted a century ago. Helping restore the living forest is how we keep the record and the real thing in the same hands.
So 10% of every Maui scarf—Haleakalā Moonrise and Mākena Bloom—goes to Auwahi's restoration work on the mountain they depict. Made to order, in editions of 100: nothing overproduced, nothing wasted. We report what we give, openly, each year.
