The Lānaʻi baby bodysuit, for the island that is the Pineapple Isle. Soft fine jersey with the Lānaʻi vintage retro logo on the front in black, newborn to 24 months.

This is the new-baby gift from the hometown: light, soft, with a snap crotch that makes changes easy and a logo the parents will photograph. Order it as soon as the news arrives; it is the Lānaʻi piece most often bought for someone else.

Light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²) fine jersey keeps this unisex infant bodysuit soft and breathable. Side seams and ribbed binding add durability, and the snap crotch is secure and quick for changes. Solid colors are 100% combed ringspun cotton, while heather shades include a cotton–polyester blend.

Lānaʻi, the smallest publicly accessible inhabited Hawaiian island, had an ancient village at Kaunolū, a Mormon colony and cattle ranching in the 1850s and a brief try at sugar at Keōmoku. In 1922 James Dole bought most of the island for $1.1 million, laid out Lānaʻi City around Cook-pine-shaded Dole Park, and built the largest pineapple plantation on Earth.

The plantation cottages and the 1923 Hotel Lanai still stand, Kaumalapaʻu Harbor shipped the fruit, pineapple ended around 1992, and the red-rock badlands of Keahiakawelo and the calm preserve of Hulopoʻe Bay bracket the island. The world’s quietest island is the mark on this piece.

Product FAQs

How does your sizing work?

Every item is made to order, so please check the size chart on this page before you buy. Women's fitted tees run small; size up for a looser fit. Caps are one size with an adjustable strap.

How are items made and when will they arrive?

We make each item to order using premium blanks, embroidery and soft-hand prints. Production takes 2-5 business days (weekends and holidays excluded), then 4-10 days in transit via USPS, UPS or FedEx to U.S. addresses; most orders arrive within 6-15 business days. You'll get a tracking link the moment it ships. Any current shipping offer is shown in the bar at the top of every page and applies automatically at checkout, no code needed.

How do I send a gift?

Enter the recipient's address as the shipping address and your own as the billing address at checkout. Nothing ships with a price; the package includes a plain packing slip. Tracking goes to your email, not theirs. For birthdays and holidays, order two weeks ahead to be safe.

What's the return policy?

Made-to-order items can't be returned or exchanged for size or color, so please use the size chart and photos before ordering. If anything arrives defective, misprinted or damaged, send a photo and your order number within 30 days and we'll replace it or refund you.

How do I care for my item?

Apparel: wash cold, inside out, with like colors; no bleach; tumble dry low or hang dry. Embroidered pieces: iron inside out to protect the stitching. Caps: spot clean. Printed glasses and water bottles: hand wash only, no dishwasher, so the artwork lasts. Mugs and engraved glasses are dishwasher safe. Any item-specific care notes are in the description above.

All Lānaʻi Hawaiʻi Items

That crop was pineapple. In 1922 James Dole, the Hawaiian Pineapple Company man already known as the Pineapple King, bought most of Lānaʻi for about $1.1 million — a price many thought a fool's bargain for a dry, rocky island. He was right and they were wrong: Dole planted some twenty thousand acres of the red uplands in pineapple and turned Lānaʻi into the largest pineapple plantation on Earth, a single island that by the 1930s grew roughly three-quarters of the world's supply. For seventy years this was the Pineapple Isle, and the spiky fruit made "Hawaiʻi" and "pineapple" mean nearly the same thing.

What the plantation left behind is its own kind of beauty. Around the town and along the high spine of the island stand thousands of Cook pines, planted by the New Zealand naturalist and ranch manager George Munro to comb moisture from the fog and feed the island's springs. His name lives on in the Munro Trail, the narrow ridge road that climbs through the pines to Lānaʻihale, at 3,370 feet the island's high point, with the neighbor islands laid out in every direction. From there the land falls away to the red badlands of Keahiakawelo and the empty roads that make Lānaʻi feel like the island the world forgot.

Why People Visit Lānaʻi

Lānaʻi offers the rarest thing in Hawaiʻi: an island that still feels empty. It pairs a deep heritage — ancient fishing villages, a storied red-rock landscape, and the golden plantation past — with near-solitary beaches, pine-shaded uplands, and a single small town. It is quiet, scenic, and unhurried, made for travelers who want an island to themselves.
