Niihau Island Hawaiian Plumeria and Palm Tree Beach Towel

Violet colorway. As tropical breezes blow through the plumeria and palm trees, gentle waves crash on the shore in this scenic Hawaiian textile print of Niihau Island, Hawaii. Niihau is the forbidden island in Hawaiian Island chain. It is one of only three places in the world where technology has not yet moved in, Niihau Island (pronounced Nee-ee-how) is a 72 square mile privately owned island just southwest of the island of Kauai. Purchased from King Kamehameha in 1864, this island has preserved many of the traditional ways of life, it is inhabited by about 200 locals whose primary language is Hawaiian. This design was inspired by the vintage Aloha Shirt designs of the fifties and sixties and comes in several colorways.
