Jani Journey Journal

Finally, after a couple of months delay, the second collection of Lole is out! This second collection has more semi-formal yet fun vibe to it. You can tell by looking at the design and pattern that we chose. This time we create a collection that consists of a midi dress, 2 (two) tops, an outer vest and a jumpsuit.

OLINA TOPS is a satin long sleeve tops, with a little beads details in the chest and elastic rubber in the wrist area. This is my current favorite working tops. It can be worn as a long sleeve for a formal look or you can pull it up to your elbow for a relaxed look. They are available in MARIGOLD (something peachy and shimmery) and DARK BLUE. I usually pair it with a ripped jeans, patterned skirt or even a sarong.

KALEI TOPS is definitely a must have one! It is a two layered tops with a cross accent on the front. The tops consist of chiffon material on the inside and satin material on the outside. The pattern on the material is really beautiful! I love how it make you look playful yet graceful at the same time. They are available in OLIVE and BEIGE.

MAKA JUMPSUIT is my personal favorite. It is a tank top straight leg jumpsuit with an elastic waist and zipper on the back. I love how versatile it is. You can mix it with a shirt, an outer or just wear it as it is. We used very soft satin for this jumpsuit, so you don’t have to worry feeling hot wearing it. Well except you look so hot in it. The jumpsuit came in two color, DOVE (light blue) and CARAMEL (light brown).

NUI DRESS is our best seller at the moment. We already sold half of them just in a week! It is a midi straight dress with a tulle on the bottom. Just look how cute and gorgeous this dress is! We use the same satin material as the jumpsuit. The tulle is a soft tulle that flows along your every move. This dress come in GRAPE (light purple with a dark purple tulle) and ARMY (light green with a dark green tulle). Grab it fast, before it runs out!

And the last piece is HALIA OUTER, which is also my favorite. It is a knee length vest outer with a waterfall accent on the front and a detachable ribbon. The outer has an edgy feeling due to the cutting. I love to wear it with a turtle neck tops along with an embroidery jeans. It definitely step up your coolness level. In case you are more into a girly look, I recommend to wear it with a straight pants and a detailed tops. This outer has two color, GREY and PINK.

Mahalo!

To be frank, there is no any inspiration or whatsoever when I designed the clothing for Lole. I must say, there is no story behind it. All we know is we were aiming to do a minimalist and modern look with Lole, we want our collection to be versatile to each piece. We are reaching through every generations, we want you to explore the endless mix and match possibilities with our clothing. But most of all, we want our clothing to be affordable.

On our very first collection, we designed 5 (five) pieces of clothing. A pants, a tops, 2 (two) dresses and an outer.

KOA PANTS is my personal favorite. It is a palazzo pants with a zipper in the front and pockets on each sides. The material that we chose for this pants is similar to wedges. The pants material was very thick yet the pants still very light and very comfortable to wear. They are available in two color, brown and blue. I wear this pants on a daily basis. I mix it with a long sleeve shirts, sabrina tops, jeans shirts, etc.

ANELA DRESS is more like a girly girl kind of dress. It is an a-line short sleeve dress with a simple pleat silhouette in front of the dress and hidden pocket on each sides. Since we are using the chiffon crepe material, the dress is very light and flowy. I would recommend to wear this dress with a flat shoes to create the sweet look. Or if you are not a dress kind of person, just wear it as a tops with a skinny jeans underneath. This dress is available in peach, lavender and tosca color.

LANI DRESS got this modern edgy vibe to it. It is an asymmetrical cut dress with a gold zipper in the front and elastic waist. The linen that we used in this dress is very soft and thin. So no need to worry about the heat when you are wearing this dress. I pick open toe low boots to wear with this dress because it gives me the modern, edgy, cool vibes whenever I’m wearing it. This dress came in white and blue color.

ELEU TOPS is also one of my favorites. It is a combination of satin slip on top with a cotton shirt. It is simple, comfortable and very versatile clothing that I’m very proud of. You can wear it with shorts, skirts, jeans, sarong, cropped pants and even our palazzo pants. It will give you this relaxed flawless look, like you are ready to do anything. This tops is available in light green, light blue and lime color.

And last but not least, ILIMA OUTER. It is a long rectangle shape outer with slits on both sides. I really recommend this outer because it is not just an ordinary outer. ILIMA OUTER is designed to be used in many ways. You can tie the outer on the front, tie it on the back, you can wear it any way you want! Like seriously how cool is that? The outer is available in retro green and beach blue printed pattern.

So there you go, it wasn’t exactly a background story or inspiration behind the design though. But this is what I want to share with you guys. A detailed products and how I would mix and match them all together.

I always said that fashion is my secret passion and how I always wish that one day I could have my own clothing line.

Today, my dream came true.

A few months ago, my friend (instagram: @advanesha) and I meet up. We were talking and browsing through some online shop across instagram and I was complaining about how small the available sizing are. I was wishing there is an online shop that sells great, cute and beautiful clothes with a wide range of sizing. For your information, I wasn’t big enough to be considered plus size and wasn’t small enough to be in the normal size. Just somewhere in the middle.

Then randomly we both just like ‘ooh! I want to make this clothes on my size’, ‘Maybe if we add some bow or pleats or bla bla bla’, ‘I think it looks good on other color’ and so on. The next thing I know, we both designing some clothes and said ‘we should open our own clothing line’. Then voila! That is how this is all happen.

As we looked everywhere to find the perfect name for our line, I bumped into ‘Lole’ words. Lole is a Hawaiian words which means clothes. I kinda like the name and so does my friend. Furthermore, we decided to put Hawaiian theme in our clothing line.

Why choosing Hawaiian theme? Every time I think about Hawaii, I always feel happy. It is already set up in my mind, that Hawaii is a beautiful place with a gorgeous landscape, cheerful people, graceful tradition and yet somehow mysterious in every parts. I never been to Hawaii before, but at least that is what I came in my mind every time I hear Hawaii. And somehow the word Hawaii make me feel really happy. We wish the same thing goes with our clothing line. We want our clothing line to be gorgeous, cheerful, graceful yet mysterious. So yeah, that is why we decided to use Hawaii as our main theme.

We launched the first set of collection earlier today. No, we don’t have any specific collection name. I feel like I have to share it with you guys, since this blog has been a big part of my life and you guys have been an amazing reader through all those years. Again, thank you for the support and everything else!
