Golden Aloha Worn in Full Bloom
 
This design is hand-drawn with golden line-art on a black background.  ⠀
 
Designed in Hawaiʻi with fragrance-soaked memories in mind, this puakenikeni print is a love letter to the blossoms we have cherished for generations. Once sold for ten cents — kenikeni — this flower has graced the necks of graduates, brides, kūpuna, and keiki alike. A flower of celebration, blessing, homecoming, and tenderness.
⠀
Every petal carries a story —
of aunties stringing lei before sunrise,
of tutus whose yards overflow with sweetness,
of hula hips swaying like wind through the trees,
of laughter around the table, pupus in hand, music in the heart.
Moments that feel like warm light on the skin.
Moments that smell like home.
⠀
And within the artwork itself, hidden like whispers in the petals, you will find the values that honor Hawaiʻi: Aloha. Kuleana. Mālama. ʻOhana. Pono.
These words are woven into the linework like love — subtle, intentional, waiting to be discovered. A reminder that our culture is not only seen, but felt, held, and worn.
