Alfred Shaheen

(January 31st 1922-December 22 2008)

Alfred Shaheen was known for popularizing the Hawaiian shirt & opened his first garment business in 1938. By 1952 he was printing more than 60,000 handprints/month under the name, 'Surf 'n Sand Hand Prints.' Alfred Shaheen was in business for 40 years until he retired in 1988. The business closed their doors shortly after. Shaheen's Hawaiian labels include Alfred Shaheen, Shaheen's of Honolulu, Surf 'n Sand, Kiilani, and Burma Gold Hand Prints. 

I have always wanted to own my own Shaheen dress & after seeing so many posts from Viva Las Vegas, I have been looking at different pictures of beautiful Shaheen dresses.

Below, I have posted some photographs of Shaheen dresses from the 1950s that I would love to own!
