Reyn Spooner, the Hawai’i based business known for its iconic reverse-print shirt designs, has partnered with the Hawai’i Food and Wine Festival to provide the official 2017 HFWF apparel collection.
“Reyn Spooner has always been proud of its heritage and people of our islands, over the years we have enjoyed working with local artists to celebrate the island life in our prints. Throughout the year HFWF celebrates and supports Hawaii’s culinary culture and education. We are honored to be part of the celebration and support with each piece in this collection.” – Lei Rowan, Reyn Spooner Marketing Director
The Hawai’i Food and Wine apparel collection features reusable bags, aprons, sarong/scarves, and a button-down in two colorways (royal, smoke). The print was designed and created by Reyn Spooner’s renowned Hawaiiana artist, Dietrich Varez. This year’s print depicts a bountiful harvest of Kalo and Ulu from the land and an abundant catch of fish from the fishpond. This print also includes celebratory scenes giving thanks and praise for what the land and sea is able to provide. All these items will be available at the all Reyn Spooner locations, reynspooner.com and Ko’Olina’s “Taste of the Seasons” Saturday November 4th.
This year’s HFWF will be featuring culinary personalities, wine and spirit experts, along with master chefs from around the globe.
