Making things by hand comes naturally for designer Autmn Tyler. “While I was growing up, my family gardened, canned and crafted much of what we needed,” she says. “Those roots instilled in me a love for creating something meaningful from start to finish.”

Today, that affinity for traditional craftsmanship shines through with Kepola Design House, Tyler’s slow-fashion womenswear label based in Kailua-Kona. A paean to the rich textures, colors and patterns found in nature, the line features earthy hues, a relaxed aesthetic and hand-sewn pieces made from sustainable materials. We’d happily add to our wardrobe Kepola’s oversized linen blazer (finished with delicate Akoya shell buttons), cozy cotton-fleece sweatshirt and striped lounge sets.
