Lei Po'o - Hair Claw

Why These Puas? Hawaiʻi — Red anthurium Maui — Pink anthurium Kahoʻolawe — Hinahina Lānaʻi — Orange pua kenikeni Molokaʻi — Green palapalai Oʻahu — Anthurium’s yellow spadix + yellow center of kukui flowers Kauaʻi — Purple pua kalaunu Niʻihau — White kukui flower So what’s the story behind lei of love? 📖 When i graduated high school, the lei ceremony was by far the most chaotic and memorable part of graduation. As each lei piled on my neck it became a clear visual of the entire community of people that have raised me and the love and guidance i received from youth to adulthood. 💌 Similar to the pile of leis, sew local’s clothing line: lei of love is meant to illustrate the effort, care, and love threaded through each lei and remind you of the entire community that have supported you and will continue supporting you along your journey. Representing Hawaiʻi through and through No matter where you go, remember you are an image of Hawaiʻi. ✈️🌱 I hope these shirts are more than a cute addition to your closet, but a constant reminder to represent your local community, unwavering support from your loved ones throughout your journey, and your first home: Hawaiʻi. The duo behind Lei of Love Design in collaboration with artist, Maui high alumni, and my bestie Cailyn ✍🏼Thank you again Cailyn for bringing my concept and Lei of Love's story to life!
