I will have a booth at the upcoming Slack Key (Ki Ho’alu) Festival on Sunday, June 25, 2023 at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center from 1pm – 7pm.. I will have home decor, mens t-shirts, womens clothing, purses, cards and the popular ‘Sale” table!
I will be in booth #156 this Saturday, May 13, 2023 at the Kahului Swap Meet from 7am – noon! I will not be at the Seabury craft fair this year, so come and take advantage of a great sale on my wahine clothing. I will also have my home decor and mens t-shirts for sale. New – the popular Dolman wahine tops are back in stock !
My mens t-shirts are sold at in person shows, except the Merrie Monarch, and continue to be popular with those who want simple Hawaiian cultural designs on a shirt.
These t-shirts are a lightweight 4.2 ounce cotton with a smooth hand. They come in slim fit only, so size up to make room for shrinkage. The blockprint art is only on the front of the shirt. Designs are: Kalo, Wa’a or Maile.
Email palapaladesigns@gmail.com for information on purchasing one if you can’t make it to one of my craft fair events. Mahalo for your interest!
I have been doing the Saturday Swap Meet in Kahului, weather permitting, as an easy way for customers to find my products. I sell from 7am – noon and try to get a booth in the first row to the right. I always have sales on my wahine clothing! Text 808-442-2894 for updates.
Everyone is getting excited for the upcoming Merrie Monarch Hula Festival and the official Merrie Monarch Arts and Craft fair on April 12-15, 2023 in Hilo.
I have a new location in the Ahfook Chinen Auditorium, booth C31, right in the middle of the room! I will be bringing my new Hula/Maile wahine tops, lots of Pillow Covers, dresses, kimono cardigans, Drink Mat sets and much more!
I will debut my new Hula & Maile Blockprint Art t-shirt design at the upcoming Merrie Monarch Hula Festival in Hilo! I carved the blockprint using the Maile plant as inspiration. The Maile is one of the important plants associated with Laka, the goddess of the hula. A Hawaiian hula rule proverb: Kuhi no ka lima, hele no ka maka translates to: where the hand moves, let the eyes follow.
