1960s - Ludi’s Waikiki Pastel Iris Cotton Aloha Shirt - Purple & Orange Bloomscape

Here’s a serene and painterly vintage from Ludi’s Waikiki—a label known for its collectible mid-century prints sold at the famed International Market Place. This ultra-soft cotton aloha shirt captures a dreamy watercolor motif, with lavender irises and fiery orange blossoms drifting across a background of shaded brushstrokes and a tranquil scenic landscape printed on the chest pocket.

The off-centered composition offers subtle asymmetry, while a rich camp collar adds timeless structure. Look closely and you'll notice sculpted metal shank buttons with a molten texture—an uncommon and bold choice that reinforces this shirt’s boutique origins.

Printed on slightly stretchy cotton, this piece feels almost like sateen in the hand—lightweight yet substantial. The single-stitch seams and overall tailoring point to its 1960s construction. Slight signs of age and a faded spot or two only add to its analog charm.

Highly collectible and rarely offered in this colorway and size.

Don’t miss your chance to own this scarce original from one of Waikiki’s iconic retail landmarks.
