Wahine Toa Designs

A fan! I don’t frequent craft fairs but I’ve heard so much positive things about them on the news one year and finally got to see them at this past Seasons Best craft fair at the Blasdell. To be honest, I didn’t even realize it was them until I saw this long line wrapped outside of their booth. I dragged my friend with me and we started hunting through the racks. Beautiful designs. I had no patience to wait to try on any clothing so I just picked the items I wanted and took my chances that they would hopefully fit. The line were still a bit crazy when we ready to check out but they were super nice to everyone. The prices were a bit higher than what I would normally spend on shirts (I believe my 2 shirts came out to a little over $ 80) but I get soooo much compliments on them and they fit well. Would love to buy more when they come back :)

I always get compliments when I wear my Wahine Toa dress. It’s unique, beautiful, elegant, and I love my dress. Great job!

Beautiful Clothing… Designs are flattering and oh so feminine! Fabrics are gorgeous!
They lose a star because their products are so hard to get on the Mainland. i wish they would come out for at least one or two of the Polynesian events we have here in SoCal. If they do, someone PLEASE let me know where they will be!

I was at the Season’s Best Craft Fair and as I was wandering around in search of early Christmas presents I found this booth way in the corner by the bathroom where you walk into the exhibition hall.
It was crazy! All of these beautiful Polynesian women, of lovely beautiful sizes, were going nuts over these dresses & tops! Prices range from $ 25-​$ 50 depending on what style it is.
What can this be? What sizes do they have left? I NEED to find something. (Being from these islands and of Polynesian descent, I adore fashion that is inspired by Polynesia, Polynesian cultures, AND of course Polynesian women!)
There was HUGE line with women carrying several pieces of beautiful dresses & nice blouses. The racks were pretty bare with only ONE dress style I liked in my size. I wasn’t sure how they’d fit though cuz i’m in between sizes. The girl says, «Try ‘em on girl!» I love that! The dressing room was just one large community room, which I actually was fine with, going to a highschool where you just don’t care about that. I found the size I liked and went to pay.
The lady at the ring up station was super nice!!! Like Tutu/​Aunty kine nice! She’s actually the designer of this brand. I asked her if she has a store in Kona, she doesn’t…yet!!! These dresses were selling FAST,
I’ll be surprised if they have any inventory for the fair today! She did say, if you ever visit Kona you can contact her and she will set up her wonderful pieces in her garage. Splendid! Mental note: visit next spring! She DOES have an online site though. Got to talking with her and she actually knows my Grandpa & cousins in Kona! Small world, big family, what can i say?
If you get a chance, visit her website, the story behind her product is touching! Us Polys, we got curves and we need more people like Tutu Nita to embrace what we got!
