martinique resort 2008
Jun 16 
with complimentary checked luggage starting to go the way of free in-flight meals, following the lead of frequent fliers and packing a simple carry-on bag is looking ever more alluring. the trick, of course, is figuring out how to fit all you need during your holiday into such a teeny space. enter martinique, a new resort wear line created by kailua designer jodi salmonson.
jodi, who graduated from the uh fashion program, paid her dues as a pattern maker and designer for a local company before branching out on her own with karijane threads a few years ago. the idea for martinique was to create a collection that was comfy enough for everyday yet stylish enough no matter where your getaway may take you.
the pretty and packable collection features gorgeous silk chiffon prints mixed with breezy bamboo jersey, and, as the photos below show, a handful of thoughtfully designed pieces can go from the beach to a dinner date with a few simple adjustments.
alas, there are no plans for an online shop and the stockist list is still under construction, however the collection (which will be priced from $75 to $240) can be found at lilikoi grove boutique in kapa'a and pacific cabana at aloha tower when martinique arrives in stores this august.
martinique is also made in hawaii so kudos to jodi for keeping it local!

The Martinique line looks like it is made for being by water and light winds. Perfect for Hvar....and Hawaii too.
