Selecting the right size for your Kahala Blouse is essential to achieving the perfect fit and comfort. Please note that this style features a 3D cut: the widest point is at the bust, gradually narrowing down to the bottom hem. As long as the bottom opening fits comfortably, there is no need to worry about the oversized cut on top. The draping is intentional and will naturally create the desired silhouette.

Palaka is a fabric rich in history and tradition, characterized by its distinctive plaid pattern. Originally introduced in the 1920s, Palaka quickly became a staple due to its strength, durability, and breathability - perfect for plantation workers in the tropical heat.
Over time, Palaka evolved beyond its utilitarian roots to symbolize Hawaiian culture and heritage. Wearing Palaka is more than just a fashion choice; it's a tribute to the hardworking people and an appreciation of the Kama’aina style that embraces comfort, practicality, and a deep respect for the land and its people.
Today, Palaka remains popular in Hawai’i, cherished not only for its functionality but also for the sense of community and history it embodies. When you wear Palaka, you honor a tradition that spans generations, celebrating the unique blend of resilience and style that defines the aloha spirit.
