'Ulu Palaka in Lexi Shorts

INTRODUCING: The New High-Waisted Essential.

The fabric tells two stories: one of labor and resistance, one of abundance and restoration. Wear the full narrative with the 'Ulu Palaka in Lexi Shorts, the brand new high waisted essential from our Kōnane Farm Store x Henōhea collaboration. Rooted in ʻohana (family) and the history of the ʻāina (land), these structured shorts are more than apparel, they are a wearable legacy.

This exclusive motif merges two profound legacies, connecting the strength of the people with the resilience of the land:

• The Spirit of Palaka (Resistance): This design honors the legacy of workers, including my Sakada grandfather, who used the durable checkered Palaka fabric as a silent uniform of solidarity against the "Big Five" plantation corporations. It is a symbol of defiance and the unity of the working class.
• Malu 'Ulu O Lele (Restoration): Meaning "The shaded breadfruit grove of Lele," this motif is a vital reminder of Old Lahaina—a time when the ecosystem was abundant and balanced. This pattern serves as a commitment to kuleana (responsibility), representing the blueprint for moving forward by restoring balance and abundance to the land.
