    Full tiers that sweep to the ankle, gathered from a smocked waist with a front drawstring. The Skirt Nainoa is made for the dinner table and the dance floor after it.

    The hem ends in a deep ruffle, and side-seam pockets sit at the hip. The waist stretches to fit. The tiers gather fuller as they go down, so the hem moves wide with each step. Kupukupu fronds, each one drawn leaf by leaf, run down the length of the skirt in the Ember Glow Kupukupu print. Read its full story below.

    The Top Nainoa completes the set, or try a fitted black tee. The Men's Aloha Shirt Pōhaku comes 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.
