Waialua Red Linen for Lunar New Year 2025

In China, culturally, red represents fire and energy, and is a symbol of vitality, celebration, good fortune, good luck, and prosperity. It's also the color used boldly in celebration of the Lunar New Year. As we are located in the heart of Chinatown, Honolulu, celebrating the Lunar New Year with our neighbors and the annual tradition of having the Lions bless our shop and participating Chinatown businesses for the year ahead marks our official launch into 2025.  Let's do it in a red shirt!

Join us in the neighborhood for Chinese New Year festivities on Friday, January 24 & Satruday, January 25.

Whimsical hand drawn layers of the Hibiscus Waimeae.  One of two native Hawaiian white hibiscuses, Hibiscus arnottianus and Hibiscus Waimeae, are the only species of hibiscuses in the world known to have fragrant flowers! 

I laid the print out at this size so that the scale of the line took on a new life by turning into more of an abstraction.

The result is an interesting play of shapes in jungle green and citrus that is energizing, but still laid back, just like our island life style.
