'Anae Holo Button-down Aloha Shirt - Color: Mustard

For generations, ʻamaʻama (mullet) sustained the people of Maunalua and were a prized species deeply connected to Native Hawaiian culture, food systems, and stewardship practices. The loko iʻa (fishponds) of Maunalua were carefully engineered by our kūpuna to raise ʻamaʻama in the nutrient-rich brackish waters where freshwater and ocean water meet. These loko iʻa reflected a profound understanding of the environment and the kuleana to care for the resources that nourish the community. Although many of the loko iʻa were lost through modern development, the restoration efforts of the Maunalua Fishpond Heritage Center seek to reconnect the people of Maunalua to their ancestral knowledge, cultural practices, and relationship with the bay.

We are honored to partner with Kealopiko on this limited-edition men's aloha shirt featuring the ʻAnae Holo design, inspired by the historic abundance of ʻamaʻama that once thrived within the fishponds of Maunalua. More than an article of clothing, this shirt celebrates the enduring connection between people, place, and the traditional practices that sustained communities for generations.

Whether worn to a gathering, special occasion, or everyday outing, it serves as a reminder of the importance of caring for our cultural and natural resources.
