New for May 2024 we are introducing "Edo Blended" with unique colors and a fun new Dragon Spiral design located in our "Segmented Collection". Akalei Designs continues innovating new handcrafted woven Kumihimo beaded glass "Forever" Hawaiian Lei. Based on Maui we have showcased on HI Now as part of the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement Pop-Up Marketplace and continue to discover new customers are our Kihei location on Maui.
These unique glass beaded braids were inspired by the beautiful floral Haku (also known as Po’o) lei traditionally worn around the head. Modeled after the beautiful Hawaiian island flower lei, the original Haku Lei pattern were created exclusively by Akalei Designs. The traditional Hawaiian Lei are typically made from flowers leaves, feathers, or natural fibers resulting in vivid color combinations. However, we are able to expand the choices using a variety of materials and patterns resulting in some remarkable creations.
Ginger Lei are the latest Haku style design for 2021 and combine the best of both the Haku Lei and the Orchid Lei for a distinctive truly original Hawaiian look and feel. See the photo sample below.
Any of these Haku Necklace Lei (Original Haku, Ginger, or the "Mini 3" or "Mini 5") can be customized for Weddings, Anniversaries or Special Holidays. Please send an inquiry to info@akaleidesigns.com.
