Puka N' Petal - Aloha Friday Collection

Where Ocean Meets Garden

Some mornings on the North Shore, everything aligns perfectly. The tide has left fresh puka shells scattered in the sand—each one worn smooth with a perfect hole punched clean through. Above the shoreline in the mountains, shell ginger blooms in soft pink clusters while red heliconia flames bright against the green. It's in these moments that the island shows you exactly what it wants to become.

The Elements

Puka shells are patience rewarded. After big swells rearrange the coastline, you walk at dawn scanning for those white circles that catch the light. Most have chips or cracks, but the perfect ones—worn smooth by countless Pacific waves—feel like small miracles.

Shell ginger flowers grow wild and delicate, their pink and white clusters a gentle contrast to the dramatic heliconia blooms that hang heavy and red, waxy petals catching morning sun like flames.

The Art

"Puka N' Petal" captures this convergence—real shell ginger and heliconia creating the shirt's pattern in soft pink, bold red, and natural yellow accents. Authentic puka shells become the buttons, each one shaped by time and tide. Photo paper foundation preserves every organic detail.
