    For family photos, a birthday party, and all the running around in between. The Girls Dress Maila has a round neck and ruffled flutter sleeves over the shoulders, and a skirt that gathers at the waist and swings out above the knee as she moves.

    The top sits smooth before the skirt gathers full below, and the ruffles fall soft along each shoulder. The Pua Melia blossoms drift across soft opal pink in fine drawn outlines. The print honors a tūtū's Puna backyard where pua melia bloomed in every color. Read its full story below.

    Barefoot in the grass or in little sandals for a gathering, it holds up to a long day either way. The same Pua Melia print runs across the collection in Opal Pink and Teal, for the family that likes to match.

    Pua Melia Print from Kahulale'a
    Pua Melia
    The inspiration for our Pua Melia print begins in Puna, in the backyard of my tutu’s home, where pua melia trees bloomed in an array of colors. Their branches stretched across the yard, filling the air with fragrance and creating a place of beauty that became woven into some of my most cherished childhood memories.

    Each tree seemed to carry its own personality. Soft whites, vibrant yellows, delicate pinks, and rich sunset hues would bloom throughout the year, creating a living tapestry of color. As children, we gathered the blossoms to make lei, admired their fragrance, and found joy in the simple beauty that surrounded us.

    For me, those trees came to represent more than just a flower. They became a symbol of home, family, and the memories created in the places that shape us. The sight of pua melia blooming beneath the warm Puna sun remains one of my strongest connections to my tutu and the place she lovingly cared for.

    Every Pua Melia print we create at Kahulaleʻa is inspired by and honors that special space. While each design may take on a different artistic expression, the story remains the same—a tribute to the backyard where generations gathered, where blossoms of many colors flourished, and where some of my earliest memories of Hawaiʻi’s beauty were formed.

    This 2026 Pua Melia artwork celebrates those enduring connections. It is a reminder that the places we love continue to bloom within us, carrying forward the memories, stories, and aloha of those who came before. Like the blossoms that return season after season, those connections remain, coloring our lives in ways both seen and unseen.
