Golden Tropics – Cotton Poplin Hawaiian Tiki Shirt

Golden Tropics – Hawaiian Tiki Shirt

Somewhere between a roadside fruit stand and a trailhead to the unknown, you stopped to adjust your collar and tie your laces. Your dog, equal parts navigator and mischief-maker, was already ahead, tail wagging at the thought of another hidden cove or forgotten beach path.

You looked down. Same shirt. Same print. Bright yellow hibiscus on a clean polka-dot base. You both were geared for discovery.

This is Golden Tropics: a Catiki original, drawn in our studio during a summer of chasing surf, sketching roadside botanicals, and pairing the tropical with the geometric. The bold blooms are inspired by vintage 1960s resort wear, while the soft dots are a nod to rain hitting the sand. It’s a shirt that says you’re ready for wherever the next path leads, whether that’s an unmarked trail, a tiki bar, or a sunset-stained porch.

Catiki Hawaiian Tiki Shirt Design Approach

Every Catiki Hawaiian shirt features an exclusive tiki design, created in-house and inspired by the rich visual language of Polynesian art and midcentury island culture. These limited-edition tiki shirts bring together surf style, retro resort vibes, and tropical energy in original patterns you won’t find anywhere else. All Catiki designs are made by us, for the tribe, never mass-produced and never repeated.

100% Catiki Comfort

Crafted from premium cotton poplin (98% cotton, 2% spandex), each shirt offers the perfect blend of softness, breathability, and stretch. Lightweight but durable, this fabric moves with you on any adventure—chasing waves, sipping mai tais, or walking the dog through paradise.
