    Coconut-style buttons down the front and a collar that buttons at the points. The Men's Aloha Shirt Pōhaku is cut in stretch cotton with spandex and falls straight from the chest to the hip, from the reception line through the late dinner that follows.

    The sleeves end above the elbow, and the hem curves at the sides so it wears untucked. Large kupukupu fronds run the full height of the shirt, from hem to neck, in the Ember Glow Kupukupu print. Read its full story below.

    Her match is the Dress Hoʻolai or Dress Kamaile in Ember Glow Kupukupu, and the Men's Active Polo shares the print. Dark trousers finish his side.

    Learn About the Print

    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.
