    The Romper Nahiku is designed for warm days when you want coverage with a pulled-together feel, featuring a soft knit that moves with you and a flattering wrap-style bodice that stays secure with a hidden button. The elastic waist shapes gently without restriction, while the tassel tie lets you adjust the fit.

    Cut with relaxed sleeves and a breezy short length, it wears comfortably from daytime outings into evening plans, with side pockets that keep small essentials close at hand. The Evergreen Kupukupu print reflects the strong, resilient fern growth found across the forest floors of Puna, bringing a grounded, natural texture to the piece; pair it with simple sandals or a low heel to complete the look.

    • Rayon/Spandex Knit
    • Hand wash cold, line dry
    • Crossover neckline with modesty button
    • Elastic waist with adjustable tassel tie

    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.
