Each collection comes from an awareness & connection to the "Mana" or Life Energy on Maui. Our designs are handcrafted by blending Hawaiian and Japanese aesthetics. We have dozens of unique kumihimo structures that reimagine traditional Hawaiian Lei to create “Forever Lei.” Join us in Las Vegas during the Glass Craft & Bead Expo April 15th - 19th 2026 at the South Point Hotel & Casino.
