Native Hawaiian T-Shirt Design

Built for breathability, movement and comfort, this modern Hawaiian t-shirt is an everyday essential with deep island roots. From the loʻi to your lanai, this Hawaiian t-shirt is made to go wherever aloha takes you.

The Iʻa Lau Nui design consists of three kalo leaves and pays homage to the ʻōlelo noʻeau (Hawaiian proverb), “ka iʻa lau nui o ka ʻāina” which translates  to “the big-leaved fish of the land.” The proverb refers to the lūʻau (kalo greens) which are critical to the Hawaiian food system and very nutritious. Kalo also hold deep ancestral ties as the kuaʻana (older sibling) of all kanaka maoli.

Sustainability

We've partnered with some stellar organizations who are taking garment printing into the 21st century with DTG (direct-to-garment) printing technology. This means, everything at Maoli is made to order and we don’t have a warehouse full of clothes lying around. This reduces the clothing waste in our business to nearly zero. 

Our eco-friendly water-based inks provide unlimited color combinations and make detailed prints pop without reducing their vibrancy in the wash. Reducing toxicity in the environment is one of our top priorities. 

Whenever possible, we also use organic, recycled, or sustainable fabrics to manufacture our apparel. We aim to make our products good for your body and for the ʻāina (land).

We encourage our customers and our community to demand more from us when it comes to sustainability. Have an idea? Please don’t hesitate to reach out!
