Inspired by the lush florals and lagoons of exotic islands, the organic beauty of tapa print, and the allure of traveling the South Seas Islands comes the Bali Hai Collection from Lorelei’s Vintage, featuring the art of Hula Hideaway. This collaboration named Royal Orchid celebrates the vintage sophistication of the Golden Age of Hawaiian Fashion. Pink Shell is a stunning Tapa design in deep ocean blues with white orchids accented with shell pink and a soft hibiscus red.It is screen printed for us in Bali on a beautiful woven textured cotton I handpicked myself. The screen printing is done the same way it was done in the 1950's with individual screens done for each color and layer which adds a texture, depth and richness that is just not found on digital prints.
DETAILING INSPIRED BY THE GOLDEN ERA OF THE HAWAIIAN SHIRT. THE HIGHEST QUALITY FABRICS FOR BREATHABILITY, DURABILITY AND COMFORT.FRENCH SEAMS, BLIND STITCHED HEMS, MATCHED POCKET AND NATURAL COCONUT SHELL BUTTONS PAIRED WITH A CLASSIC AND COMFORTABLE FIT.
Multiple samples and fittings on several different men and body types went into the careful crafting and fitting of this shirt to ensure the absolute best fit possible!
It is made in Bali by a woman owned factory by skilled seamstresses. The whole design process was focused on creating a quality garment that will last a lifetime. Every consideration was taken to make this as close to vintage as possible. Design decisions were made for quality and authenticity over cost while trying to keep it as reasonable as possible.
