Tanna Dang
Owner
Eden in Love
Tanna Dang is the owner of Eden in Love, a lifestyle boutique with locations in Honolulu and Las Vegas. While brick and mortar and online retail is Eden in Love's main focus, Tanna's true inspiration (and love language!) lies in creating opportunities through entrepreneurship and teaching others how to curate the perfect blend of life work integration.
Through the power of retail, Tanna developed Eden For Good (originally named Divas Doing Good) - the give back component of the company - which aims to leverage modern day consumerism to make a global impact in the world. The most notable project was adopting a village in Sri Lanka through Global Hope Network International.
Tanna has been a merchant at Ward Village since 2007, originally bringing her former business The Wedding Cafe to the mall and opening Eden in Love, Cinch and Fred + Kate Events shortly after. Eden in Love Las Vegas opened in 2017 making it the first out of state move for this locally owned business.
In 2020, amidst the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Tanna sought to find new opportunities in retail and has since expanded Eden in Love's online presence while growing an exclusive line of products dubbed "The Heart of Eden".
With a dynamic personality and professional drive rarely seen today, Tanna has been recognized for numerous accolades. She was selected for Pacific Business News 40 Under 40 and took 2nd in the 50 Fastest Growing Companies, a Women Who Mean Business honoree, Honolulu Advertiser's Best of the Best - Honolulu Magazine's Best Wedding and Retail Store, Retail Merchants of Hawaii - Best New Retailer, SBA - Women in Business Champion, SMEI's Distinguished Sales and Marketing Award in the Retail division and first place in the National Retail Federation's This Is Retail video contest.
