Kamanuailehua Jersey Blanket

Featuring our Kamanuailehua collab with Kakou Collective, this aloha baby sets comes with a must have jersey receiving blanket, beanie and bow, making it the perfect gift for a baby shower, baby announcements, newborn photos, fresh 48 photography, and more.

This jersey blanket is my favorite for swaddling - it doesn't slip as easy as the bamboo muslin and it can still be used for baby after they outgrow the swaddling stage.

P.S. I was never good at swaddling but after 4 babies I think I finally mastered it! I even attempted to make a video of one method of swaddling - you can watch it here on our Instagram.

About the Design:

This collab is a special one to myself and Kea. I asked Kea to share with me (and you) the meaning behind this special design, Kamanuʻailehua. Please take a minute to at least read what she wrote:

 "Kamanuʻailehua refers to the native birds who drink the nectar of the ʻōhiʻa lehua blossom and is part of the name given to my son at birth. This name carries special meaning in our ʻohana as it appears multiple times in our moʻokūauhau and was intended to bridge the gap between generations. Some of the birds depicted are now extinct, but I feel it is our kuleana to intertwine them into this design so that we can learn from the past and change our actions in order to help shape the future our keiki will be living in. Birds depicted: ʻiʻiwi, mamo, ʻapapane, ʻakiapōlāʻau, ʻōʻō. Some of these birds are threatened, some are critically endangered, and sadly - some are extinct. These birds and many other animals heavily rely on a balanced ecosystem, with the nectar of lehua blossoms in particular."
