"Akalei" is Hawaiian for Bead Reflections an appropriate name for our designs. We explore and reimagine traditional Hawaiian Lei by weaving using the Japanese art of Kumihimo. We incorporate glass beads, gemstones, pearls and unique focal lamp work beads to design one-of-a-kind "Forever Lei."
Our Hawaiian Glass Beaded Lei are unique woven handcrafted designs made by weaving Kumihimo - a Japanese braiding technique with inspiration from the Mother Nature. We reimagine traditional Hawaiian Lei using a blend of fibers, shells, glass beads and anything beautiful to create our Forever Lei.
