    The Dress Leilani swings from gathers that sit just below a split neckline. The neckline ties at the front, the sleeves are short and flutter open, and the body moves away from you as you walk. An everyday dress, for errands in town and the beach after.

    It ends above the knee, with pockets in the side seams. There is no waist seam, so the dress hangs full from the top, and the tie can be left loose or knotted. Kupukupu fronds scatter across the swing of the skirt in the Ember Glow Kupukupu print. Read its full story below.

    Slides and a straw hat. For ʻohana matching, the Men's Active Polo and Men's Aloha Shirt Pōhaku come in the same Ember Glow Kupukupu.

    Wao Keleo O Puna Kupukupu Print from Kahulale'a
    Wao Kele o Puna — Kupukupu
    This print was inspired by the kupukupu of Puna, which are especially striking: longer, fuller, and incredibly vibrant, stretching confidently across the forest floor. They are like a reflection of the strength of the land itself.

    The setting for this inspiration is Wao Kele o Puna, the native lowland rainforest that is both culturally and ecologically significant in Puna. It is a place where native plants continue to thrive in abundance, representing the richness and vitality of that region.

    In hula traditions, the more delicate pala‘a and palapalai ferns are often celebrated and widely used for adornment. The kupukupu, however, offers a different kind of beauty. Its fronds are strong, sturdy, and resilient, growing easily across the lava landscapes of Puna where other plants might struggle. In many ways, it mirrors the character of Puna itself—formed by Pele, yet constantly renewing and flourishing.

    Through this print, I wanted to celebrate the forests of Wao Kele, the resilience of the kupukupu fern, and the place I come from—Puna. It is a tribute to the land and the plants that continue to inspire our cultural practices, including hula.
