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!

ʻAwapuhi koʻokoʻo Pareu

Walking through a forest of this ginger is a favorite experience!  The plant grows tall, exceeding ten feet with leaves spreading over three feet.  The flower emerges on a separate stem, sometimes standing five feet tall.  Pinks are gorgeous but are not as common as the red.  

The name ʻawapuhi koʻokoʻo describes its physical appearance:  ginger on a pole.  It is often called “torch ginger” and comes from Netherlands East Indies.
