Special ferns make our lei beautiful! The palapalai is a favorite because of it's long lasting nature. As kinolau to Laka, this is one of the few plants that is allowed in a dancer's lei when the hula is traditional kahiko. This design is a gift to Kuana Torres, Kehau Tamure, and Keao Costa, of the Na Hoku Hanohano award winning group, Na Palapalai. Their gift of music fills our hearts each time we listen to their voices soar.

The pareu is Hawai`i in a wrap around lifestyle: versatile, comfortable, and limitless in its uses. What started as a hobby of making sarongs as birthday and Christmas gifts in the late 70's, grew into a company because of overwhelming demand! The two-yard length of fabric is seamed at the edges and rectangular in its finished shape -- great for use as a table cloth, wall hanging, or folded and tied as a carry-all. Strapless, over the shoulder or tied at the waist, the pareu drapes beautifully over a swimsuit, undergarment or nothing at all! Fabric is machine-washable 100% cotton broadcloth.
