Behind the design - Pāʻū o Hiʻiaka, Jacquemontia sandwicensis

Pāʻū o Hiʻiaka is an endemic coastal vine.  This vine can be found in sandy or salty soil on primarily the leeward coastal habitats of the Hawaiian Islands. It has tiny, delicate, pale blue to white flowers that bloom year round, peaking between December-July, and ovate leaves.

It's name translates to the Skirt of Hiʻiaka.  Hiʻiaka (Hiʻiakaikapoliopele) is the younger sister of the fire goddess Pele.  The moʻolelo goes, Hiʻiaka was waiting on the beach for Pele to finish surfing. When Pele returned to shore she found her sister sleeping with this vine draped over her, protecting her from the sun.

*Design improvements:

• Pouch: Double-lined with inner printing featuring the Hawaiian and Scientific names of the featured plant.  Edge-to-edge straps, and piped seams to hold its shape.
• Spray bottle: A continuous-mist function improving its ergonomics, and has a more powerful spray.
• Pruners: Just as durable as before, but the logo is flipped right-side up.
