Watch for Sharks Aqua Aloha Shirt by David Shepard
THE STORY BEHIND THE HAND-D![]()
RAWN DESIGN
"Pua ka wiliwili, nanahu ka manō"—when the wiliwili tree flowers, the shark bites. This Hawaiian proverb captures nature's subtle wisdom, and now it's woven into wearable art. Rooted in centuries of island observation, this hand-drawn design celebrates the interconnectedness of natural cycles. As wiliwili trees burst into their rare, breathtaking blooms at summer's end—their flowers ranging from pale yellow to crimson red—they signal the arrival of tiger shark mating season. It's a reminder that beauty and caution walk hand in hand. Crafted in Hawai'i from 100% cotton poplin, this aloha shirt feels as thoughtful as it looks. Soft, naturally breathable, and built to last, it features real coconut buttons, a print-matched chest pocket, and a back collar button for authentic island style. Every detail—from the hand-drawn artwork to the locally cut and sewn construction—honors the craftsmanship and cultural knowledge embedded in this design. Limited quantity. Wear a piece of Hawaiian natural history.
