"If I have seen further, it is by standing
out on the shoulders of giants"
PULU
The husk of the coconut
A harmony of burgundy, red coral, and neutral tones, this collection imagines the power of combined strength.
Pinks are secured with deep reds, sand helped by stone. Behind every power is a battle that has already been won.

Puana of the Print
For this collection we imagined the vital role the pulu, or coconut husk, plays as the unsung hero for the protection of the coconut seed. As a husk, pulu can also act as a rooting bed for young plants, providing aeration for root development.
This month, in honor of Mother's Day, we compare the pulu to the powerful women in our lives...a delicate balance of nurturers and protectors.
This is the soil in which healthy souls blossom.
