The Story Behind Our Prints

We focus on plants native to Hawaiʻi — but we also honor flowers that came from elsewhere and became beloved here, especially in the art of lei-making. Here are the stories behind our prints.

The plant that started it all

Kalo

These prints are inspired by kalo (taro). Learn kalo's cultural role in Hawaiʻi, the Hāloa moʻolelo (story), and why we chose kalo as a symbol for keiki + ʻohana.

For our ʻopihi babies

ʻOpihi

In Hawaiʻi, we lovingly call our babies ʻopihi, the little ones who just want to be held close. These prints honor the ʻopihi (limpet) that clings to shoreline rocks in Hawaiʻi and the keiki we hold the same way.
