Jana Lam hand-printed Mini Backpacks are made with love and aloha at the Jana Lam Studio in the Kaka’ako neighborhood of Honolulu, Hawaii.

Backpacks are simply the best; functional, sporty, and so much fun.  Our amazing Erin created the pattern for these; the Momma and the Mini, and I have to say, they are the perfect size and shape, and you will want to carry it everywhere.  You can put your essentials in the front pocket and the heavier load in the main compartment.  They’re not just for school or camping anymore, these backpacks are practically a practical fashion staple!

Puakenikeni. A popular flower that I’ve been hesitant to draw and make a print because I feel like it’s been done a lot. But something about it is just so appealing! I lived in Kaimukī last year and on my runs I would pass by the trees and always stop to take photos of the blooms. And then an uncle started bringing Puakenikeni to keiki hula practice on Sunday mornings, and I would watch with happiness as he strung each one. So I caved, and I’m glad I did because Puakenikeni is already one of my favorites and I think it will be for many other people too. 

Fabric: 
All Jana Lam Handmade in Hawaii textiles are silk-screened by hand on cotton fabrics with water-based inks. This piece is made from a 100% cotton slub weave fabric, and is reinforced with heavyweight interfacing to make the fabric sturdy and hold its shape.

Care:
The #janalamfam recommends spot cleaning when smaller spots show up. We usually use Shout Wipes for that, but Jana has used tide pens in the past. Make sure if there is a white top print to be a little more gentle on rubbing spots out. Since the ink sits on top of the fabric a bit more than other colors, there is a chance of the ink rubbing off and getting on other parts of the fabric. 

But, you can put your Jana Lam's in the wash. We usually use a hand wash cycle and lay flat to dry. After it's dried, it is always good to give it a little bit of an iron. We use 100% cotton fabric, so it may shrink in the dryer, but will definitely stand up to ironing
