Big Kahuna offers retro Hawaiian prints

By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, February 23, 2003

Big Kahuna Fabrics is a new company, specializing in Hawaiian prints, created by brothers Bill and Mike Fisch, who were looking for a way back into textile converting.

Their father, Mitchell Fisch, had such a business that dated back to the early 1960s and operated as Weavers Sales Corp. In the late '70s, the elder Fisch sold the company to Irwin Ginsberg, who then formed Anju/Woodridge Fabrics. A decade later, Fisch launched another converting business, Dunhill Fabrics, which closed when he died in 1994.

"My brother and I were looking to get back in the converting business when we found a designer in Hawaii with a deep passion to capture the vintage retro look of the 1950s," Mike Fisch said. "That was the catalyst that sent us into the home furnishings market, where there was a void in Hawaiian prints. That's how the line started to develop. We took our time working on a vintage bark cloth, and combined it with great designs and a distinctive color palette."

Among Big Kahuna's customers are Norwalk Furniture, Carlton Mfg., Capris Furniture, Laneventure and SIS Covers. The company is represented by Stroup Fabric Sales and has a Web site at www.bigkahunafabrics.com.
