PAREU HUAKAʻI

Searching for the perfect pareu fabric is always in my mind.  Wanting 100% cotton is a must and then the fabric weight is considered for the many uses.  The most recent discovery is HUAKAʻI, a heavy-weight pure cotton fabric that is manufactured in Japan which undergoes several steps to create its unique hand.  We gave its name as “the journey” in which this fabric will serve you is our intent.  May this fabrication always be at your side!

Kūpapalani Pareu

The Wao Akua are the highest elevations of our mountains where the spirits dwell.  The unique and endemic Silversword lives amongst the mists and clouds. It is found only on Haleakalā on Maui and on Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea on the island of Hawaiʻi. Reaching maturity at ten plus years, a long cluster of more than a hundred flowers will bloom and then fruit.  After fruiting, the plant dies.

The name given to this design, literally means the upper regions of the heavens.  It also poetically describe a "chief of the highest rank”.
