Vintage Oahu: Hawaiian Scrap Quilts, etc.


I found a lot of scrap quilts while exploring Oahu over the weekend. Here are some of my favorites. Local style, da kine I like!











There were a lot of shirts, so I had to pick up a few. This blue and green one is from the 1970s, and it's awesome. I wore it around yesterday. It was made by Hawaii Nei, Honolulu, and has great wrapped buttons, all in a wild polyester print. I found it at the Barrio Vintage pop-up shop at the Royal Hawaiian Center.
