Save Pali Lanes

This is amazing!
From Hawaii News Now “But up until now she had never come up with an aloha shirt that featured a print inspired by a building.

“I think people loved the fact that it was something a little bit different,” she said.

It’s different because it’s not your typical floral fashioned shirt. Oaks was inspired by the concrete blocks that give the old Pali Lanes building in Kailua its iconic look.

The idea for the breeze block design came from Oak’s architect friend.”

“When he first approached me about doing some shirts, it was when there was this big movement behind trying to save the Pali Lanes,” she said.

For her, the Pali Lanes project was personal. She was a big fan of the bowling alley. And breeze block adds another dimension to her design, and that’s good for business.
