About Island Picks
Island Picks is a Maui-based, family-run business specializing in high-quality, collectible guitar picks, earring and stickers designed for retailers, music lovers, and destination gift markets.
What started as a simple idea, creating visually striking picks people actually want to keep, has grown into a large and diverse product line carried in shops across multiple regions. Our designs highlight iconic locations, music culture, and destination-driven themes that consistently perform in souvenir, lifestyle, and music-related retail spaces.
We focus on three things:
• Strong visual appeal
Our picks are designed to stand out on the rack and sell quickly, not sit as filler.
• Retail-friendly product lines
Collections are organized by region, music culture, and travel themes to make ordering and merchandising simple for reps and retailers.
• Reliable service and fulfillment
We work directly with reps and stores to keep ordering smooth, turnaround fast, and communication easy.
In addition to our standard collections, custom design programs are available for stores, destinations, and events. We offer structured custom options that allow retailers to carry exclusive designs tailored to their market.
Island Picks continues to grow through strong partnerships with reps and retailers who know their customers and value products that are easy to display, easy to sell, and fun to collect.
🌺 Aloha + Maui roots
Being based on Maui shapes everything we do. “Aloha” to us is not a slogan, it’s how we operate, with respect, care, and genuine relationships. Many of our designs are inspired by the places people love, the memories they carry, and the feeling of connection that music creates. We’re proud to bring that island spirit into a product that travels the world in musicians’ pockets.
🤝 Wholesale focus (for reps & retailers)
Island Picks is built with retailers and sales reps in mind. Our collections are organized to make ordering simple, displays easy to merchandise, and designs relevant to regional markets. We understand what sells in tourist destinations, music towns, and specialty gift shops, and we work closely with our reps to support stores with strong visual appeal, consistent quality, and reliable fulfillment.
🎸 Craft + longevity
Cary has been in this business for years, and that experience shows in the details. From design layout to print quality to packaging, every step is refined through real-world retail feedback. Our goal is not only to create great-looking picks, but to build long-term partnerships with the people who sell them.
