ʻAʻaliʻi Kū Makani Pullover Aloha Shirt- Cappuccino
This pullover aloha shirt features our ʻAʻaliʻi Kū Makani print on Cappuccino material with Champagne and Latte ink.
ʻAʻaliʻi Kū Makani
Resilient, firm, and steadfast, ʻaʻaliʻi grow in buffeting winds. Its strength to withstand the constant force of the wind is symbolic of the people of Kaʻū.
Our favorite clusters of ʻaʻaliʻi in the various districts on the Moku O Keawe bloom and seed in different months of the year. Colors vary from north and south types, and the fragrant pods of the Volcano area are perfect for lei.
The medium of a bamboo stamp offers a rather restricting canvas to illustrate this plant. Knowing the grain of the bamboo, the width and depth, I carved the design of seed pods as a study in numbers. The repetition emphasizes the intent: strength, staunch, and unyielding. Values of the people of Kaʻū live on!
This lei of ʻaʻaliʻi was created originally for the graduating class of Ke Ana Laʻahana 2015 and dedicated to their leader, Māpuana Waipā. The future is in their hands!
Inspired by the ivy-league shirts of the early 1900s, the fabric designs are pure Hawai‘i, and the look is pleasingly fresh. The Pullover features a half placket and is designed slightly wider to allow over-the-head dressing with ease. Coconut buttons are featured on the stand-up, button-down collar and on the front placket. Tuck it in or leave it out over the trousers for a more casual look. Either way, it's the perfect touch of crisp aloha!
