Aloha kākou!
Once flawed and weakened, now beautiful and strong. Once cracked and broken, now whole and restored. Used to mend bowls, paddles, canoes, gourds, and more, pewa and other types of patches hoʻoikaika (increase structural integrity) and elevate aesthetic appeal. Rather than casting important items aside, we repair them, continue to use and love them, then pass them on to the next generation. Another hoʻoilina of our kūpuna is hoʻoikaika on the mental and spiritual planes. Thus, kanaka potentials are fully realized when spiritual strength and intellectual prowess meet grit and sweat equity. Think of Kamehameha I. Implementing mass scale agricultural projects throughout Nuʻuanu after his last battle there. Restoring the health and well being of the makaʻāinana was achieved through food production and sound governance. Building and repairing certain pilina (relationships) likely played a role in helping people to work together for the collective good. Like our ancestors who lived in those times, we overcome crises by working together and actively sharing knowledge and resources. We fortify our perspectives and innovate our approaches. We mend physically and strive mentally to keep moving forward. E hoʻoikaika mau!
Words can’t express how excited and proud we are to officially announce the first collection from our collaboration with our dear friends at Kealopiko, releasing tomorrow, November 7 at both FITTED and Kealopiko’s Oʻahu location. At the heart of this collection is the stylized pewa pattern, utilized throughout all of the cut and sew garments. The entire first collection spans 24 premium pieces as outlined below. Please note that the campers were made in very low quantities and will have a strict limit of one per customer. Stay tuned for a full-length video sharing moʻolelo behind the collection releasing tomorrow!

Each camper strapback was handmade with the collection logo on the front in white and the FITTED crown and Kealopiko handwritten logo in teal on the back. They also feature durable custom strap enclosures in the back. Because each panel was cut and sewn from larger fabric rolls, every camper’s pattern coverage is unique.
