Hawaiian Splash Is Here — Our New Hand-Dyed Blue & How to Use It

Hawaiian Splash Is Here — Our New Hand-Dyed Blue & How to Use It

Some colours arrive quietly. Others burst through the door like a summer holiday. Hawaiian Splash is very much the latter — and we couldn't be more excited to introduce it to our hand-dyed raffia range.

The Colour Story

Hand-dyed in small batches in the Adelaide Hills, Hawaiian Splash is an ocean-inspired blue that captures the feeling of sunlit water on a clear day — cool, vivid, and endlessly uplifting. It sits somewhere between a tropical lagoon and a cloudless sky, bringing that same sense of calm and clarity to everything it touches.

We developed this colour as part of our ongoing exploration of nature-inspired hues — colours that feel grounded in the landscape but alive with personality. Hawaiian Splash is bold enough to anchor a design on its own, yet versatile enough to pair beautifully with earthy neutrals, warm terracottas, and soft creams.

Like all of our hand-dyed raffia, each bundle is unique. The dyeing process — done by hand in the Adelaide Hills — means slight variation between batches is not just expected, it's celebrated.

What to Expect

  • A striking tropical blue with cool, clear undertones
  • Hand-dyed in small batches in the Adelaide Hills
  • Natural raffia with beautiful texture and drape
  • Slight colour variation between bundles — each one is one-of-a-kind

How to Use Hawaiian Splash in Your Projects

As a statement colour: Hawaiian Splash is bold enough to carry a design on its own. Weave an entire basket or panel in this striking blue for a clean, modern look — pair with a natural unbleached raffia base for contrast.

With earthy neutrals: Hawaiian Splash sings alongside warm neutrals like sand, oat, and terracotta. The contrast between vivid blue and earthy tones creates a grounded, coastal feel perfect for home décor pieces.

In a coastal palette: Layer Hawaiian Splash with soft whites, warm creams, and sandy tones to build a full coastal-inspired palette. Think beach huts, ocean horizons, and summer skies — all captured in raffia.

As a colour accent: Not ready to go all-in? Use Hawaiian Splash as a stripe, border, or woven detail to lift an otherwise neutral piece with a burst of colour.

Mixed with other hand-dyed colours: Try it alongside Lime Green for a tropical feel, or with Cinnamon and Rust for a warm contrast that feels bold and balanced.
