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

Everyone needs a partner in crime, a wing woman…they’re always by your side and there when you need them. They’re compact but cute and they won’t dull your shine but still help bring all the boys to the yard. The Sidekick will be your best companion. It’s so light, you’ll barely realize it’s there, but it’s got a unique flare that will always catch the eyes of others and may be even make you the talk of the town.

Made in Hawaii, USA

Kakimochi. The idea of this print has its seeds in the artwork we did for Foodland’s 75th anniversary. These little crackers then got included in our Mixed Plate print and Erin suggested we make it its own thing.  At first I laughed and said really?!?! But then after only a few moments thought, I realized that Kakimochi on its own was genius.  So thank you so much Erin, for knowing how great this would be.  It’s an epic design that will make people smile for years to come.

Fabric: 
All Jana Lam Handmade in Hawai‘i textiles are silk-screened by hand on cotton fabrics with water-based inks. This piece is made from 100% cotton fabric that is reinforced with interfacing to give the fabric some shape with a soft feel.

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.
