Continue ShoppingWe are thrilled to be selling with Lahaina Arts Society 2026. Our shop has a booth located outside the Cannery Mall in Lahaina from 10am to 3pm (please call for dates). Or call to schedule an in-person appointment. We will be teaching throughout the islands with the Hawaii Handweavers Hui, and during the 2026 Gathering hosted by the American Kumihimo Society. Our classes focus on confident beginners and emphasize the blending of Japanese tradition with island inspired Hawaiian necklace lei.
We reimagine traditional Hawaiian Lei to create "Aloha Inspired Forever Lei." Our designs merge an ancient Japanese braiding technique of kumihimo with the beauty of island colors and textures. We showcase our jewelry with the Lahaina Arts Society on Maui's West Side at the Cannery Mall .Check schedules on our website. All of our jewelry is handcrafted exclusively on Maui..
From the island of Ni’iHau come the world’s most beautiful handcrafted shell designs. Those natural lei designs will never be replicated, yet with a modern approach Akalei Designs can offer you beautiful braided glass beaded products resembling those from Ni’iHau at an affordable price. We incorporate Picasso finish beads of all sizes & shapes to reimagine the look of those natural sea shells. We can design matching earrings and accessories for many of these products.
