Palaka Aloha Shirts Collection

Palaka Collection – Traditional Hawaiian Workwear Reimagined

Looking for authentic Hawaiian clothing with cultural depth?
Palaka is one of Hawaiʻi’s most iconic fabrics — known for its bold checkered pattern and durable cotton weave.
Originally worn by plantation workers and later adopted by paniolo (Hawaiian cowboys), Palaka shirts and dresses represent the heritage of Hawaiian workwear.

This historic fabric has made a comeback in modern island fashion.
Our Palaka muumuu dresses, aloha shirts, and Hawaiian fabric accessories are made with care by local designers in Honolulu.
Whether you're shopping for a Hawaiian dress, a gift from Hawaiʻi, or a touch of vintage aloha, the Palaka Collection is a rare find.
