It all starts with inspiration from the subtly stunning, storied, and classic flora of Hawai'i.

The botanically accurate illustrations are then digitally transformed into a print pattern inspired by the landscape and the arrangement of the plants.
Each native Hawaiian plant featured in David Shepard’s designs has a fascinating story to tell.

These designs are then given vibrant and elegant colors drawn from nature.

David Shepard Hawaii uses a variety of imported and sustainably sourced fabrics for its modern Aloha wear.
The quality fabric is soft, durable and naturally breathable.

The thoughtful, authentic designs are then printed onto the fabric, forming the basis of artistic, meaningful Hawaiian clothing.

David Shepard thoughtfully hand-cuts each piece of aloha wear fabric to match the unique fit of his products.

David Shepard Hawaii works only with local seamstresses in Oahu on all products in his Made in Hawaiʻi line.

All Made in Hawaiʻi collection products are designed, cut, and sewn in Hawai‘i.
