organik fall 2008

wave by eric rieth

the fall 08 collection from organik continues the big island-based line's mission to show that it's possible to green your closet and still be stylish. this season, organik's sustainable threads have expanded beyond organic cotton to include bamboo and recycled plastic bottles reborn into a wearable textile.

even better, all styles are finished with low-impact dyes which are gentle on the earth while water-based inks bring the hand printed designs to life.

modern hale

 chin timer * mr. honolulu wine opener * orientales

kona may not be on the radar as the place to go for decorating your space with the latest accessories filling the pages of design glossies and blogs, but it just happens to be the home of modern hale - the source on the big island where those in-the-know stock up on crush-worthy & eco-friendly goods.

proprietor zoe ryan decided to mix her retail background with her love of design to create modern hale which
opened its doors two years ago. lines stocked in the shop include witty accessories from italy's alessi (shown above), stylish reusable shopping totes from envirosax and pretty green bag (my new favorite carryall), art from indie darling amy ruppel, plus design goodness from chilewich, iittala, inhabit living, and the big island's own organik threads.

be sure to bookmark the online gallery which is updated with peeks of the newest additions to arrive in the shop, and special orders are welcome if you heart something from one of the lines carried by modern hale but not stocked in store (call for details).

fyi - orders over $200 score complimentary shipping!

• where: 74-5533 luhia street, kailua-kona (kona international market)
• shop hours: tue - sun, 9a to 5p
