A part of Paradisus is The Kuleana Collection. This collection celebrates the natural beauty of island life, while reminding us of our responsibility to preserve and protect these gifts for tomorrow. It is our commitment to honor “Na hulu manu o Hawai’i” (The precious things of Hawai’i)
So it was particularly special when I discovered Keiki Kruisers . This is a line of children’s ti-shirts with delightful drawings of a Pua (flower), a Pe’a (starfish), an Opihi (mollusk) and others designs that are also part of the Kuleana Collection. What could be more appropriate than to celebrate our children while honoring them with the same commitment. And what a perfect Mother and Child gift for Mother’s Day or a New Baby.
Keiki Kruisers is designed by Lyda Liu of Waimea, Hawaii and is a Mom inspired clothing company. This active wear line is appropriate for all parts of a kid’s fun life, beach, school, playtime, indoor time. Her line can be found on-line www.keikikruisers.com.
Meet Kelli Martines and her daughter Leila as they play together, Leila in her Pe’a T-shirt and Kelli with her double Pe’a Paradisus Charms necklace.
When we began designing our Paradisus jewelry line, the traditional weave done with the native Hala Pandanus leaf was one of our first inspirations. The weave created a soft geometric pattern which was perfect for the “repousse” hammered technique used by the artisans. Just like the real Lauhala mats and hats where each pattern is a little different, so it is with each bracelet, bangle, and earring set. No two are alike.
