ʻIlimakūkahakai Kēwai Dress- Blue
This Kēwai dress features our ʻIlimakūkahakai print on Blue material with Lagoon and White Ink.
ʻIlimakūkahakai
This study of our native ʻilima was done at Ka Lae, South Point, on the Island of Hawaiʻi. This variety crawls on the ground as it spreads through the grasslands. The name lends itself to the manner of its growth and how the flowers "stand up" on the plains near the ocean. The kaunaʻoa grows alongside the ʻilima, its host plant. Although technically a parasite, kaunaʻoa in Hawaiʻi is treasured and woven into extraordinary lei.
Kēwai
A sheath dress was first introduced as the Makaniʻoluʻolu Dress. It was popular for its bias cut and featured a keyhole closure at the back. Large graphics were hand-printed, contributing to the modern, contemporary look. The drape of the fabric, the simple silhouette, and the visuals made it one of the most iconic styles. The Kēwai Dress is the short version!
Kēwai is a moisture laden wind of the Hilo area. We bestowed the name on this style for that cool and fragrant wind that we often feel in Hilo!
Hang to dry.
