A child in Hawaiian culture is often compared to a beloved lei. A well-known ʻōlelo noʻeau (Hawaiian proverb) states, “He lei poina ʻole ke keiki.” A lei never forgotten is the beloved child. This print features lei pua kenikeni, pakalana, pīkake and kī, and is designed to honor our keiki (children) with us today, and those that may have left us too soon, who we wear as lei on our hearts.
We want to honor those ānuenue (rainbow) babies and their families through this beautiful print. An ānuenue baby is a healthy baby born after the loss of a child due to miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss. The term ānuenue refers to a rainbow appearing in the sky after storms or rainy days. In Hawaiʻi, the ānuenue is a symbol of transformation and is believed to be a celestial pathway used by the Hawaiian gods to visit Earth, as well as a route for the souls of departed loved ones. We hope this print showers aloha upon all the ānuenue (rainbow) babies and their beautiful ʻohana.

Kaleimamo Hawaiʻi, an ʻohana-owned business from Honolulu, brings Native Hawaiian culture to the forefront of sustainable parenting. Founded by Pōhai, Kaleimamo Hawaiʻi creates beautiful, reusable cloth diapers and accessories that celebrate Hawaiian heritage through vibrant, culturally inspired designs. Named after Pōhai’s daughter, “Kaleimamo” symbolizes a lei of yellow lehua blossoms and extends to all keiki, weaving connections between families worldwide in the spirit of protecting our honua (world) for future generations.
The journey began when Pōhai and her husband, ʻOlu, discovered the environmental impact of disposable diapers and sought a better way. Their commitment to eco-friendly diapering led them to cloth, and they soon found a passion for sharing this sustainable option with other families. By combining functionality with a deep respect for Hawaiian culture, Kaleimamo Hawaiʻi offers parents a meaningful, earth-conscious choice that also honors Hawaiian traditions and values.
