Alfred Shaheen... the Master Printer - Signature Hand Print
Alfred Shaheen passed away December 22, 2008 at the age of 86. He was not only a fashion pioneer, but a brilliant textile designer who conceived the fabric.
Shaheen was the most creative and prolific Hawaiian manufacturer in the heyday of post-WWII fashion. He pioneered his unique method of silk-screening textile designs for mass production, and produced extraordinary garments that made him the largest aloha wear manufacturer in Hawaii in the 1950s and 1960s.
Alfred Shaheen's textile designs and fabrics were inspired by Hawaii, the South Pacific, and Asia. Shaheen studied the native designs of these countries and adapted them to textiles; his philosophy was to celebrate our ethnic diversity and remain true to authentic cultural art forms.
Today, Shaheen's beloved hand prints are Hawaiian classics that represent Hawaii around the world and have become part of the Hawaiian mystique.
Shaheen accomplished this feat through his vision, inventiveness, engineering brilliance, and unreserved commitment to authenticity and excellence.
Alfred Shaheen panels are hand printed. Slight irregularities in design are not damages, but are the mark of true hand work.
Care - Hand Wash separately in warm water with a mild soap. Rinse thoroughly. Do not soak, rub or twist. Hand to dry immediately. Use cool setting on iron. Do not use bleach.
