Wyland joins Hilo Hattie
Wyland’s paintings will influence a new line of merchandise that will be developed, manufactured and sold in all Hilo Hattie stores, including Island Edge by Hilo Hattie and online at HiloHattie.com.
“The sea and ocean wildlife are such an important part of island life in Hawaii, that we are extremely proud to partner with Wyland to present this new line of products,” says Donald Kang, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pomare, the parent company of Hilo Hattie.
The product line will include clothing for men, women and children and a collection of stationary products, photo albums, calendars, home décor, kitchen products and other gift items, such as prepackaged gourmet and fine food, bed, bath and beauty products, luggage and outdoor décor bearing Wyland images.
Wyland’s serene paintings are probably the most recognized aquatic artwork around the world. He is an internationally recognized wildlife conservationist, painter, sculptor, photographer and author.
