$15.00

Celebrate Hawaiʻi’s natural beauty and rich cultural heritage with our Kawainui Collection Tea Towel, featuring a beautifully illustrated design showcasing the native and migratory birds of Kawainui Marsh in Kailua, Oʻahu.

Kawainui is Hawaiʻi’s largest wetland and a vital sanctuary for endangered and seasonal wildlife. This special edition tea towel highlights four beloved birds:

  • ʻAlae ʻUla – The Hawaiian Gallinule, sacred in Hawaiian mythology and a symbol of knowledge and leadership.

  • ʻAukuʻu – The Black-crowned Night-Heron, often seen at the water’s edge, quiet and skilled in fishing.

  • Aeʻo – The Hawaiian Stilt, known for its long legs and delicate beauty, originally drawn to the area’s taro patches.

  • Kolea – The Pacific Golden Plover, a remarkable migratory bird that returns to the same location in Hawaiʻi every winter.

Each bird plays a unique role in the Kawainui ecosystem and reminds us of the deep connection between nature, culture, and place.

Perfect for your kitchen, home décor, or as a thoughtful gift, this tea towel brings a touch of aloha and environmental awareness to everyday living.
