About the Pattern:

Manaola presents the Kalihilehua design inspired by the phases of maturation that he sees in the women that raised him. Manaola drew this pattern using the fine fringe of the lehua blossom as a point of revelation to showcase its stages of metamorphosis from opuu (seed pod), to muo (leaf bud), to popohe (full round blossom). The imagery in this design praises one’s journey through physical, spiritual, and intellectual evolution. The way the ohia trees grow teaches us to be paa (steadfast) in who we are as we continue to blossom in our growth and experience. We invite you to reflect on your own journey when adorning yourself in this elegant print.
