Our craft
A small studio, island vibes, and a respect for the material
Tiki Smuggler started on a small, overcrowded workbench in sunny California by one maker who enjoys the tiki and Hawaiian cultures. We find inspiration in the values of aloha and carry it into everything we do.
Each piece is individually cut and lashed by hand, giving every creation its own unique character. We believe the best decor tells a story. That is why we focus on craftsmanship, attention to detail, and materials. Each one of our pieces reflects the beauty of handmade work and the authenticity of island decorations. Our goal is to create pieces that are artistic and timeless, designed to be enjoyed for years to come.

Questions, answered
What makes each piece worth it?
Every piece is handmade and built in our studio. They are made to order in the USA and never mass produced.
How long does a made-to-order piece take?
Most pieces ship within 2 to 4 weeks since each one is made by hand. However, we strive to produce and ship the pieces as soon as possible.
How do I hang it?
Each piece arrives framed and ready to hang. Each design has either rope loops or a hanger fitted to the back. For our heavier designs, we highly suggest it is securely hung and fastened into a stud or other load-bearing member.
