Description

A vintage Paradise Creations Hawaiian shirt in a bright tropical print that does exactly what a good rayon resort shirt should do: color, movement, and instant vacation energy without needing much else. The print mixes red, yellow, aqua, green, and black with palm trees, sailboats, seagulls, shoreline graphics, and sunset-like painterly bands.

The shirt is made from soft 100% rayon, giving it that fluid drape and light hand that makes vintage Hawaiian shirts so easy to wear. It features a pointed collar, front button closure, short sleeves, and a left chest pocket that is cut in the same tropical print.

Marked size M. Based on Dean’s measurements and the visible fit, this best fits a modern men’s S/M to M, approximately 38/40 chest, depending on desired fit. On Dean, it fits cleanly through the shoulders and chest with a neat vintage rayon shirt shape.

Shown on Dean tucked into trousers and layered under a blazer in styling photos. Listing is for the shirt only.

Fit Notes

Marked size M. Estimated modern fit is men’s S/M to M, approximately 38/40 chest.

Shown on Dean, who is 6’2”, 170 lb, wears a men’s Medium shirt, 40L slim-fit suit, has a 40” chest, 36” sleeve, and 31/32” waist. On Dean, the shirt fits cleanly through the shoulders and chest without reading oversized. Best for a modern men’s Small/Medium or Medium depending on preferred fit.

Because it is rayon, the fabric drapes softly rather than holding a stiff boxy shape.

Condition

Very good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age. The rayon fabric, tropical print, buttons, collar, sleeves, and chest pocket present well in the photos. No major flaws are visible. Minor natural wrinkling and gentle wear may be present, consistent with a vintage rayon shirt. Please review photos carefully.

Styling Notes

Wear it tucked into pleated trousers for a dressed-up resort look, open over a tank with denim, or layered under a relaxed blazer for a more editorial 1990s-meets-vintage-tailoring mood. The red and yellow tropical print works especially well with beige, cream, khaki, faded denim, black, chocolate brown, olive, and washed gray.

Shown with

Styled with trousers, jewelry, and a blazer in some photos for shoot styling. Listing is for the shirt only unless otherwise stated.

Curation Note

Selected for its saturated tropical color, soft rayon drape, strong sailboat and palm tree print, and easy vintage resortwear appeal. It is the kind of shirt that can go loud and playful or sit under tailoring as a graphic layer.

Authenticity Note

Interior label reads Paradise Creations, with fiber tag reading 100% rayon, Made in Korea, and marked size M. Era is estimated based on label design, rayon fabrication, print style, and 1990s resortwear context.

Upon having dinner in DTLA a friend and I stumbled upon QUIRK, what a treasure of a vintage store. A hidden gem!!! An insider's secret.. but not for long. Loved Melynda's eye for well curated vintage clothing and accessories. Working as a stylist in Films and Editorial, Melynda is defintely on point. Instantly we felt right at home in her inviting shop. From designer to hard to find vintage, its all there. What a happy find!!!

Ten out of five stars for Melynda and her all volunteer Quirk crew for creating the People's Free Boutique in an unused corner space in DTLA, providing much needed, intentional, and high quality clothing and supplies for those of us who lost everything in LA's January fires. My family and I came to Quirk and were welcomed with care and respect, mirroring the quality and thoughtfulness of the clothing offered, and being given the dignity of choice to dress ourselves in clothing that we prefer. The Quirk crew were professional and kind, dealing with a gradually melting down child and frazzled adults, recognizing and validating the collective trauma of their guests, and providing a space of hope, solace, and care out of the goodness of their hearts. I was able to restock much of my professional and casual wardrobe, grab some high quality toiletries, kids clothing, and an epic penny board for my kid. I cannot recommend a visit to the People's Free Boutique and Melynda's Quirk store on 9th enough!

I volunteered at Quirk all afternoon today, and there is so much love and support alive in that space. They are overwhelmed with so many incredible donations and every single thing is being sorted and placed directly into the free shop where fire victims can come shop and get what they need. All items are the same quality you would find in a thrift store like Buffalo Exchange. There were volunteers helping people find clothing items that fit and served their needs while they’re grappling with the loss of their homes and belongings. There are so many ways fire victims need support and this is one of them! Thank you Quirk and the other amazing organization and businesses stepping up to help our community!

Quirk is a great place to rent or buy unique clothing. Melynda has curated such a great variety of items. I rented a gorgeous gown for a work event and bought multiple things including a vintage Italian suit that I get complimented on all the time. It is a wonder place to discover and elevate your personal style.

I had the pleasure of stumbling upon Quirk fairly recently and I am most certainly delighted I found this little gem! Located on a busy downtown street, its colorful, unique vintage items are arranged and merchandised well! For a small space, a diverse range of eclectic items will most certainly entice you! Trust me, ya won't leave without buying a little keeper! I love the Seven 4 all Mankind Tight pencil skirt I found and I have some items on hold I can't wait to get! The Owner/Stylist, Melynda is an absolute doll, and a pleasure to chat with as you browse the items, If you are a vintage fanatic or Fashionista, check this place out! Tiny but lots of little treasures that are reasonably priced!

I worked with Melynda on a professional photoshoot for my company and ever since then I have been going to her store. Such a great way to change up my style and find new unique items. I am a proud owner of a vintage Italian suit and have even rented a gown for a special event. Always looking for her insight when shopping there.

Great vintage shop in Downtown! With all the new vintage stores popping up around LA these days, Quirk really stands out with having unique, high quality items that are personally curated by the owner, Melynda, who is also a professional stylist and costume designer. Most vintage shops these days are just filled with XXL 80s/90s shirts, and overpriced jeans. Quirk has one-of-a-kind items that have made me a return customer. Most recent purchases were a 1970s YSL handbag and kimono jacket that always get me compliments when I wear them out.

An absolute gem of a boutique, with a constant stream of unique vintage pieces! I was able to get the perfect dress, pumps, handbag, and hat for a formal tea at very short notice. The store is easy to access in the second floor of a fashion design building. The owner is a talented costume designer with a wealth of experience from film and more. Whether you go in with a decade-specific goal in mind, or are just looking for a special treasure, you will surely find something magical!!!

Melinda who started and runs Quirk the people free boutique is so amazing upbeat and selfless to continue to help all of us that lost our homes. Quirk has been a loving space for me to get help to start over again and a big part of my healing journey I have visited a couple of times and found wonderful clothes to help me get back to work and visit my son at college. It is organized, clean and has great donations. I am forever grateful and count Melinda as a new friend. I also met many other fire victims and ran into old friends. Had been a wonderful place for me as I begin my healing journey. 5 stars plus another 5 stars.

I finally walked in after walking by for years when I heard they were in need for volunteers for their donation drive. I'm ashamed I haven't found this store before. The owner is fantastic, she hopped out of a hospital bed and straight to setting up this push to help people. The store, as it's known, on the fourth floor feels like you are thriving with some of the most upbeat staff to aid you find everything you need for woman's clothing, toiletries, and undergarments. On the second is where you can find an almost equal amount of men's, rare to have this ratio in any department store. Kids all the way down to infants, with diapers, and toys. Here you can see volunteers going from room to room sorting through, sizing, and cleaning up donations to stock both floors. Snacks, water, non-perishable food, and a welcome environment has made this a far distinction from digging through a pile of T-shirts on a folding table. My time volunteering here has been exhausting in the best way, the tiredness that comes with knowing you've done good, that your work and presence are valued. I'll continue to be here everyday I can until Melynda gets tired of me saying, "Happy ___day!" We're still here!
