new wings hawaii.
I was checking out the Wings Hawaii site a while back and thought about chatting with Melody about their newest items. I am always excited to see what these girls make and have a couple of their pieces that I’ve been wearing for a few years now. Melody mentioned that the very first Wings Hawaii creations were actually under the label Hoa Aloha – Girlfriends. Nine years ago, she had received a top from her friend {and Wings girl} Samantha Howard that still plays a big part in their current designs. Wings Hawaii is now recreating the original aloha tops as well as creating their own printed fabrics to sew dresses with. Samantha actually drew the miter print {see the first dress below} which is her interpretation of the miter shell pattern. Everything – the designing, printing, sewing, etc. takes place in the Haiku, Maui workshop. The dresses are made from 100% organic bamboo jersey and are screenprinted {like all their items} using water based inks. Yup, it’s their very own fabric design. Here are just a few of my favorites currently available online:
Miter Shell Dress: $450.00:
Solid Yellow and Rose Gold Bangles: $230.00/ea:
Sunwing Belt: $140.00:
Kauai Shell Ribbed Tank {matching hot pants – they’re super comfy!: $12.00}: $26.00:
Miter Band Skirt: $150.00:
