Releasing in-store and online this Saturday, June 28th, 2014.Aloha kākou!We present to you the third release of our Summer 2014 “Perception” Delivery 1 collection. With three new patterns (Maiʻa, Vanquish, and Kālā Pepa) as our foundation, we explore the perception of Hawaii from the outside looking in as well as the inside looking out.VANQUISHThis pattern is an amalgamation of Hawaiiʻs lost native birds. All the extinct birds seen on this pattern have been vanquished due to invasive plants and animals after foreign assimilation.

For our Summer 2014 collection, we’re taking it back to the early to mid-1900’s, from the annexation of Hawaii to our admittance into statehood and beyond.
