The Print
A reprise of our beloved pareo print in a jumbo size for 2024. This is our year to go big. This print took us two years to develop from an early 20th century Tahitian postcard.
The eureka moment came when we realized it was probably a resist print created with paper and scissors instead of painted on with a brush.
Postcard, Max Bopp Du Pont, circa 1907.
The Bib, a riff on the traditional Holoku
When the missionaries brought the nightgown like Mother Hubbard style to Polynesia they never imagined the riot of color and print that Hawai’i would cover it in. We think its dowdy shape was a sharp rebuke to female objectification.
We spent years mulling over this tradtional shape, trying to figure out how to make it fun and wearable. We decided to exaggerate its essential elements. We pulled out the gathers and the darts to simplify it. We shortened it. And we added a small button detail in the back as a nod to its genteel beginnings.
