Krazy for Kapa


Scarf, shawl, bag, and clutch.  What do all of these items above have in common?  All of them are made of kapa...YES, kapa!  (Even the violet colored scarf!)  Halau Kekuhi paid tribute to kapa at this year's hoike performance at the Merrie Monarch Festival.  Fellow kapa artisans were honored with front row seats while adorned in their handmade garments.  The combination of bright and pastel colors against the muted fibers looked so clean and natural.  True inspiration indeed.  A fusion of fashion, nature, and culture at it's finest.  I would love any of the pieces below, paired with some wedges for summer.  SIGH...

Lots of Hugs -- Jenn
