manuheali'i on the go

citrus travel tote * shopper * cosmetic clutch

between summer's sky high oil prices and the current economic rollercoaster, it seems most everyone i know has put their travel plans on hold. that said, you may be inspired to hit the road after seeing the latest accessory collection from manuheali'i if only to tote your gear in the new fall patterns which seem to be lifted straight from a sketchbook filled with watercolor impressions.

if you worry about someone making off with your bag at the airport, take a peek at the updated large canvas travel tote rocking a juicy jolt of color that makes it easy to spot in a crowd. the prints also add a tropical punch to manuheali'i's new shopping tote and small clutches which, for readers who are already gearing up for the holidays, easily double as an eco-friendly way to "wrap" gifts.

price point for the new collection ranges from $9 to $68 and can be scooped up in the online shop or at manuheali'i's punahou & kailua outposts.

springing up at manuheali'i

monstera dress + onipa'a pullover

manuheali'i can always be counted on for mixing modern cuts with new interpretations of traditional alohawear patterns. here's a peek at the latest looks painted with pretty springtime colors that have been popping up recently in the online shop.

jet setters may want to take note of the lovely canvas travel tote which shows off your hawaiian style when you take your show on the road. the latest addition to manuheali'i's accessory line features a roomy inner compartment to hold all the necessities and exterior pockets for added organization. the design is in limited supply and available in three two colorways (all the red totes have been snapped up by savvy fans).

'awapuhi travel tote

and, since styles and sizes have a way of selling out quickly online, manuheali'i now offers a courtesy call service that will notify you when that special something you were coveting is back in stock.

shop online or at manuheali'i's two outposts on oahu.

spring blossoms at manuheali'i

ka'ili li'i + monstera kaimana

there are so many new styles for spring at manuheali'i that a mini virtual fashion show seems to be in order. the lovely ka'ili li'i dress defines versatility with its ability to convert to three different bodice styles, a length which allows it to double as a tunic, and hidden handy dandy pockets.

and it's hard to resist the fresh spring colors on the updated monstera kaimana dress which is too pretty for words.

the first thing that came to mind upon spotting the kat top was, of course, fellow island blogger kat of our adventures in japan. unless design is your trade, it's not often you have a chance to fill your closet with your very own eponymous top which can also be had in a fabulous mix of manuheali'i patterns.

kukui li'i + kukui nui kat

meleana bag

my bet is owners of manuheali'i's new meleana bag (not sure if there is a connection to handbag designer meleana blaich) will get stopped on the street by passersby who cannot help but notice its eye catching graphics. sturdy canvas fabric is emblazoned with traditional hawaiian designs like 'ulu and 'awapuhi while raffia details echo the natural world.

shop manuheali'i online or stop by their boutiques in kailua and punahou to take a peek at the full collection.
