Cultural Significance - Sacred Guardians of Puʻuhonua:
The "He kiʻi hawaiʻi ka mea akua nō" trash tee honors the sacred kiʻi (carved images) that stand as guardians outside Hale o Keawe at Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau on Hawaiʻi Island. These powerful figures are named after the cloud form kinolau (physical manifestations) of the akua Kāne and Kanaloa—Kiʻei and Hālō—whose names carry deep kaona (hidden meaning).
The Hawaiian phrase "He kiʻi hawaiʻi ka mea akua nō" is screenprinted on the front of this tee alongside the two kiʻi, while an English translation "A Hawaiian Image is a divine one" appears on the reverse just below the back of the neck. This design carries an important message: kiʻi are sacred, godly objects created by oceanic peoples and should be held in reverence—not reduced to party themes or bar décor, with their divine vessels misused as drinking cups.
This tee invites us to look deeper, to peer beyond surface-level appropriation and reveal the truth in things. The names Kiʻei and Hālō themselves offer another layer of kaona—both can be translated as "to peer," "to gaze out," "to look through," and "to watch." In wearing this design, you carry a call to reorient how we see and honor Hawaiian culture, encouraging others to recognize the sacred in what has been trivialized.
Honor the ancestral weather wisdom of Kauaʻi with this crop trash tee featuring the ʻōlelo noʻeau "Kaʻi ka puaʻa i luna o Hāʻupu, e ua ana"—When the pigs follow above Hāʻupu, it is going to rain. Made from 100% reclaimed waste cotton in a lush nahele green colorway with cream and white water-based ink screenprint.
pattern: Kaʻi ka Puaʻa i Luna o Hāʻupu - The Pigs Follow Above Hāʻupu
fit: crop, boxy (sits above hip)
ink: Cream and white water-based ink
colorway: Nahele green
model: 5ʻ7”, 160lbs, wearing a size M
This design illustrates the full scene of this weather prediction: Hāʻupu mountain crowned with puff clouds, gentle rain falling, a kukui tree branch heavy with hua kukui and falling lau, and below, a puaʻa foraging for kukui nuts. The nahele green colorway evokes the lush forest landscapes of Kauaʻi during hoʻoilo, the rainy season that replenishes the ʻāina.

Cultural Significance - ʻŌlelo Noʻeau & Ancestral Weather Wisdom:
"Kaʻi ka puaʻa i luna o Hāʻupu, e ua ana"
When the pigs follow above Hāʻupu, it is going to rain.
This ʻōlelo noʻeau encodes ancestral weather wisdom into the memory of kānaka local to the Kauaʻi region where Hāʻupu mountain stands visible and revered. When clouds gather above Hāʻupu's summit in formations resembling puaʻa treading across the peak, the kūpuna knew rain was coming. This knowledge, passed down through generations and celebrated in mele, connects descendants to the environmental and atmospheric signs that predict the life-giving rains of hoʻoilo.
The name Hāʻupu itself carries profound kaona—it can be translated as "to stir up one to recollection," "to recall," or "to remember suddenly." In wearing this design, we are called to remember: to observe the ʻāina closely, to read the signs our kūpuna encoded for us, and to honor the wisdom that flows from place.
The Design Elements:
This crop trash tee illustrates the full scene of this weather prediction:
Hāʻupu mountain face crowned with puff clouds at the summit
Gentle rain falling in drops, bringing life-giving water
Kukui tree branch heavy with hua kukui (kukui nuts) and falling lau (leaves)
Puaʻa foraging for kukui nuts below
The puaʻa naturally seek kukui nuts as a nutritious part of their diet, and in this design, their presence during the rain carries the kaona of purification, the Lonoikamakahiki season of replenishment, and the protected proliferation of hoʻoilo (the rainy season).
Kukui: Light from Darkness:
The kukui nut itself symbolizes the potential of knowledge and light—kukui means "light" or "torch." Just as the hoʻoilo season is a time of pō (darkness, rest, gestation) that gives way to the kau wela season of ao (light, growth, activity), this design honors the cyclical wisdom of Hawaiian seasons and the balance between rest and abundance.
The falling kukui leaves represent hāʻule lau—the falling of leaves that marks the transition into the cooler, wetter months when the land rests and replenishes.

This natural sulfur facial cleansing bar is crafted with a formulated blend of pure sulfur powder, kaolin clay, and uplifting rosemary essential oil, specifically designed for those with extra oily skin and skin concerns like acne, rosacea, and eczema.
SULFUR
Sulfur is a natural mineral, found in the welcoming embrace of hot springs, rich clay, and volcanic ash. Essential for plant growth and vital for every living cell, sulfur makes its presence known in our bodies through amino acids and vitamins, showcasing its golden hue and distinctive aroma. Its powers include drying out blemishes, absorbing excess oil, promoting gentle exfoliation, and boasting impressive antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities that benefit even the most sensitive skin. Say goodbye to blackheads and whiteheads, as sulfur works wonders on mild acne. Think mild chemical peel that you can use daily to remove dead skin.
KAOLIN CLAY
Kaolin clay shines as a gentle yet effective detoxifier. Known for its ability to clear pores and soothe the skin, this tender clay helps fight acne while providing gentle exfoliation and toning. It draws out impurities, leaving your skin with a delightful, soft touch that’s hard to resist.
ROSEMARY ESSENTIAL OIL
Rosemary essential oil is celebrated for its balancing and toning astringent properties. This herb not only helps manage oily skin but also plays a crucial role in preventing future breakouts through its antimicrobial qualities. With added benefits of enhanced circulation and increased oxygenation, rosemary oil gives your skin a refreshing lift.
Embrace the natural power of these ingredients, lovingly combined to support your skin’s health and vitality while honoring our commitment to sustainable practices.
