Sachi Maclachlan

owner, baker, glazer, genius

Sachi Maclachlan is an East Coast-raised lifelong vegetarian. Not only does she bring about Hawai‘i’s only local and favorite vegan yeast donuts, but she is also the mother to Uma, who was recently born in the beginning of May 2022 (!!!), Rosie, her adorable rescued dog, and a wife to Keenan, the one and only fry man. On the weekends, Sachi rises way before the sun and doesnʻt stop working until Monday. ​

Sachi spent 10 years in the film industry in the big New York City before she moved to Hawaiʻi in 2019. Only a year later, when the pandemic began to strike, Little Vessels Donut Co. was born.

 

Meet the Team

AFTER ALL, WE ARE A SMALL BUSINESS

 
  • The OG Keenan, fry guy/dishwasher/comedian, and baker/glazer/owner/genius, Sachi. They began Little Vessels Donut Co. out of their apartment, taking small orders via DM on Instagram. They quickly gained popularity and began working out of a kitchen in Kaimuki, where they are able to fulfill more orders.

  • Fellow vegan, donut boxer, deliverer, and extra set of (tattooʻd) hands. Jamie was brought on when Little Vessels was only about half a year old. Sachi had found Jamie through a mutual friend and immediately began growing her business highlighting kick-butt women. Jamie was raised on the west side of O‘ahu and had attended New York University. She had returned home because of the pandemic, and now spends her weekends helping slang some crazy donuts.

  • Samantha is 27 and lives in Makiki. She is a current student at Kapi‘olani Community College in the Pastry Arts program. She joined the Little Vessels team in January 2022 for the love of playing with dough and to expand her knowledge of different types of dough. Even though she’s not vegan, she is an aspiring baker who feels it is equally important to understand vegan baking as much as non-vegan baking, not only on a theoretical level but on a physical one too. She looks forward to the opportunities to grow with the Little Vessels team and is eager to see where they go.

  • Emily was born in San Diego, California and graduated college with a degree in photography, and also played on the golf team. Growing up, she was always creating something with whatever supplies she had laying around. She now enjoys charcoal drawing, graphic design, and photography. In recent years, she discovered her passion for cooking and baking, and aspires to open her own vegan cafe someday.
