Our Hawaiian Glass Beaded Lei are unique handcrafted designs made using a Japanese braiding technique of "Kumihimo." We gain inspiration from the 'āina surrounding us on Maui. Akalei reimagines traditional Hawaiian Lei using a blend of fibers, sea shells, glass beads and Lamp Work beads to create our handmade Forever Lei on a Marudai stand
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.
