This is a LIMITED EDITION collaboration piece between Kealopiko x Ten Tomorrow. The style is our Dawn Dress featuring Kealopiko's beautiful "Ka 'Upena Ho'olei a ka Lawai'a" print and fabric.
Hawaiians made a large variety of fishing nets and net-making itself was a true art. Sewn with fine cordage made from the fibers of the endemic olonā. The maka (the "holes") were partially determined by the type of fish that would be caught. The 'upena ho olei, or throw net, was the inspiration for this design, but it is just one of many types of nets. If you look closely, you will see the tiny phrases: E ho'olei aku (Toss it out) and E ho'olako mai (supply me with all I need). Our kupuna taught us to take only what you need for your family and to share with those around you.
The dress is a relaxed shift dress that comes in a petite length. The boxy shape makes it ultra comfy for everyday wear. Wear as a dress or layer over leggings as a tunic, it's so versatile.
