| This Punahoa coin purse features our Pua `Ahihi print in Indigo and Sky.
Famous is the pua `ahihi, the lehua of Nu`uanu! The song, penned by Maddy Lam and Mary Kawena Pukui, is a long-time favorite. Our rendition of the dainty `ohi`a growing on the edges of the mountain tops is a single color print. The original design was cut in the early 1990s and laid out by Kuha`o in November 2007. The name was chosen to honor the hula that was being taught at that time.
The Punahoa is an updated version of the Oe coin purse. It measures in just a smidge bigger at 5.38" long X 4" tall and features top stitching along the edges as well as a streamlined zippered closure. Toss in the essentials: credit cards, a few dollar bills, perhaps some change for the meter or that tube of lipstick! Great for brightening up your purse ... and your day. Punahoa is a small `ahupua`a that runs from Hilo bay front to Kuku`au `ili. |
