Behind the Design
This stunning Disney | Posh Peanut collection immerses you into the adventurous world of Moana and captures the spirit of adventure. Inspired by Moana’s courageous ocean voyage and her home of Motunui, we took all the elements and characters that Moana fans know and created a signature Posh Peanut print that people will love.
Our Senior Textile Designer, Juliana, tells us more about her inspiration for the Moana collection:
“I love Moana; she is such a strong, independent character. We wanted to capture that feel in these prints and chose poses that showed her confidence and free spirit. For the florals, we went for a tropical leafy look to capture the island vibes.” - Juliana W., Senior Textile Designer
Let's take a closer look at this Disney | Posh Peanut Moana collection, which features your favorite wayfinder and her unforgettable friends.
Moana Floral Print
Bright and tropical, our Moana Floral print showcases Moana among lush flowers and plants inspired by her beloved island home. And because Moana never ventures far without her animal friends, the design features Pua and Heihei, too!
Maui Tropical Print
For the Maui fans, your favorite legendary demigod takes center stage in our Maui Tropical print. He’s shown confidently wielding his hook and surrounded by enchanting island scenes with a sailboat ready for adventure.
The mischievous Kakamora, along with the adorable Pua and Heihei, completes the design. With a teal color and a Pacific island print as the background, the Maui Tropical collection is the perfect gender-neutral print for the whole family!
Pua and Heihei Print
Every princess needs her animal friends, so we had to make a print just for Moana's loveable pig and chicken, Pua and Heihei! These fun characters are nestled amongst perfectly Posh florals inspired by the Pacific Islands.
Moana Inspired Dresses
In response to the popularity of our tulle and twirl dresses inspired by the Disney Princess characters, we knew we had to design baby and toddler girl dresses inspired by Moana’s signature outfit as well. The classic twirl dress features a unique off-the-shoulder silhouette and printed details on both the bodice and skirt.
For the tulle dress, we took inspiration from Moana’s layered pandanus skirt with a layered tulle look. We know your little princess will love to add these dresses to her collection!
Movie Premiere Ready
We're big Disney fans here at Posh Peanut and have had so much fun creating amazing Disney | Posh Peanut collections this year. This one is unique, though, because it launches right before the release of Disney’s Moana 2! The marketing team shares their excitement for the new movie and upcoming collection:
“In our house, we love the Moana soundtrack! My girls have loved the songs since they were very little, dancing and singing along. They were so excited when I told them that Moana 2 is coming to the movie theater soon - and even more excited when they learned that Moana has a little sister. I can’t wait to take them to see it in their matching Moana outfits from this collection!” - Brooke H., Copywriter
Set to release on November 27, 2024, we can't wait to see how our community styles their Posh Peanut outfits for this special occasion.
“When Moana first came out, my oldest was 6. She’s in High School now and still enjoys watching it with the family! It’s a movie that will always be a staple for family movie nights! With the new movie coming out, our community has repeatedly asked for a Moana collection. I think they’re going to be really excited to see this collection - I can’t wait to see everyone’s reactions!” - Jessica M., Social Media Communications Specialist
