Famous in song, especially those of the Big Island of Hawai`i, the Lehua flower is a symbol of love, of land, and of Pele, the Volcano goddess. While visiting the different districts of our island, you will see many colors of the blossom: the salmon of the forests of Keahialaka, the golden yellow of Kipu`upu`u, and the deep reds of Kaniahiku that most resemble Pele.

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.
