The Darlene Dress features our limited edition 'Ulu Palaka Henōhea x Kōnane Farm Store collab print, linking your style directly to a story of resistance and hope.

• The Spirit of Palaka (Resistance): This design honors a legacy that runs deep in our family. My grandfather was a Sakada, arriving from the Philippines to labor in the fields. During the plantation era, the "Big Five" corporations tried to keep workers divided by ethnicity. But the workers found a way to stand together, adopting Palaka as a shared uniform of resistance to visually declare their unity. This dress honors the laborers who turned a simple work fabric into a powerful banner of defiance.
• Malu 'Ulu O Lele (Restoration): Named for the proverb "Lahaina i ka malu 'ulu o Lele" (Lahaina, in the shade of the breadfruit trees of Lele), this motif remembers a time when Lahaina was a lush wetland. It is a commitment to the future—believing that the blueprint for restoring Lahaina lies in returning to the abundance and ecological balance of the past.
