The islands of Hawaii are famous for their tropical climate, pristine beaches and cultural influences. Its natural beauty inspires design and style around the world. Jessica, Ruby Rd’s Creative Director of Print Artwork, captured some of the inspiration for our new summer prints on her recent trip to the islands.  Thanks to these amazing images, we can all take a virtual trip with Jessica right now!

Gazing at the horizon of Makalawena Beach, it’s easy to find inspiration for our beautiful shades of blue this season!  This amazing remote beach offers great spots for camping.  We could stay here all day!

Evenings in Kona are the perfect time to stop in at an ocean front restaurant.  Grab a chair, a Mai Tai and watch the sun set on the ocean.  Can’t make it to Kona this season?  Reach for our beautiful palm frond inspired top to transport you to this breezy summer sunset.

Ki’i “totems” at Pu’uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park stand guard along the beach, greeting visitors with their imposing strength and beauty. The tribal patterns found in our flowing lightweight pant reflect that same beauty and strength. For more information on these incredible totems, check out https://www.nps.gov/puho/index.htm

Palm trees and beaches always conjure images of serene summer days.  This secluded location in Pu’uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park influenced this lightweight and chic summer top.

Sand beneath our feet, how blissful!  This summer moment was captured at Kaloko-Honokohau Beach, a fantastic location for turtle watching and exploring tide pools.   The black lava found on this beach contrasts beautifully with the pristine white coral sand.

Inspiration can even be found in a simple sand dollar.  We think it’s incredible to find such perfect symmetry in nature.  Its delicate patterns are reflected in our sleeveless summer top, perfect for beachcombing or a day in the heat of the city.

Sometimes what inspires us cannot be contained in a single image.  The sunset at Maunakea, delicate Plumeria blooms, the foliage at Hawaiian Tropical Botanical Garden, and the stones on Pololu Valley Beach all lend their beauty to this vibrant top with its rich colors of summer.
