3 New Designs Coming Soon!

I wanted you all to be the first to meet the late three designs coming out November 1st!

First we have Pāpale Niu - Coconut Frond Hat

Ulana Lau Niu is the art of weaving coconut fronds. Traditionally, Pāpale niu were used by fisherman and farmers to create portable shade in the hot tropical sun. They are use for the same purpose today as well for fashion and decor. As the pāpale niu dries, the green color fades into a light brown; however, it continues to maintain its shape and hold both beauty and function.

The second design coming is for the flower lovers: ‘Ōhi‘a Lehua - Metrosideros Polymorpha

The most common native Hawaiian tree, ‘Ōhi‘a is one of the first plants to grow after a lava flow and signifies rebirth and the strength of love. The lehua blossom in a variety of colors from red to yellow and even white. However, these endemic trees are currently threatened by Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death (ROD): a harmful disease caused by fungal species. To help stop the spread of ROD, avoid injuring ʻōhiʻan and clean your hiking boots/gear/tools before and after use.

The final design coming does venture in to more of the stylized art world but has the staples of the repeat pattern nonetheless: Pele - Lava

According to tradition, Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess, is embodied by the lava and natural forces associated with volcanic eruptions creating new land, but also destroying what was once there. Of the 5 volcanoes on Hawai’i Island, Kīlauea's Pu‘u‘ō‘ō eruption from 1983-2018 created 439 acres of new land to the southeastern shore. In early May of 2018 more than 20 fissures began opening up along one of the East Rift Zone. Fissure 8 was named Ahuʻailāʻau and created a 9 mile long channelised lava river flowing to the ocean.

All designs will be available in all the staple items: coasters, pendants, cards, and stickers. ‘Ōhi‘a Lehua will be the newest design added to tea towel collection just in time for Christmas!

I have my sites set on November 1st.

Mark you calendars!
