Pāpale Niu Collection • Pareu
Woven headwear has existed in Hawaiʻi since ancient times, traditionally crafted from lauhala (pandanus) and other natural fibers for sun protection. The coconut frond hat, or pāpale niu, became widely worn during the plantation era, when durable, breathable headwear was essential for long days outdoors.
Over time, pāpale niu became a familiar part of everyday life in Hawaiʻi—appearing in celebrations, childhood memories, and family homes, and carrying stories passed from one generation to the next.
Crafted in 100% cotton, this pareu features our hand-drawn pāpale niu motif in a dried foliage tone set against an olive backdrop.
Generously sized at 73” × 54”, and made from 100% cotton—a breathable, natural fiber that only gets softer.
Timeless and versatile, pareu are made to last. With proper care, they’re worn for years, from cool evenings to sunny beach days and everything in between.
