HAWAIIAN PRINT CLOTHING
“This modern Hawaiian print clothing company developed from working in native Hawaiian ecosystem restoration. I saw a need for greater awareness and support for the conservation of local places and the people who care for them. I brought together my backgrounds in artistic design and botany with my love of history and stories. Here I’ve set out through aloha wear fabric designed and made in Hawaiʻi to create a platform to share stories authentically rooted in this place and about the people that care for it.” - DS
