Celebrate Hawaiʻi’s natural beauty and rich cultural heritage with our Kawainui Collection Tea Towel. Inspired by Kawainui Marsh in Kailua, Oʻahu—Hawaiʻi’s largest wetland and a vital sanctuary for endangered wildlife.

Set of three Kawainui Collection tea towels

`Alae Ula
With its vivid red forehead shield and graceful movements, the ʻAlae ʻUla is both culturally significant and ecologically important. Sacred in Hawaiian mythology and once known only to aliʻi (chiefs), this endangered wetland bird is a powerful symbol of knowledge, leadership, and protection of the land.

Auku`u
Often seen along the water’s edge, the ʻAukuʻu is a skilled and patient fisher, known for its short legs and quiet presence. A symbol of stillness and observation, this native bird adds a serene spirit to the Kawainui landscape and serves as a reminder of the life that thrives in our wetlands.
