Testimonials

★★★★★

I love that the [puakenikeni] lei design catches everyone's eye, and I love telling them about this local artist when they ask. It's not just a sticker - it's a durable piece of art that brings a touch of aloha to my everyday items. Definitely getting more to add to my collection!

I absolutely love my lei wrap sticker from Kākou Collective! It's been on my water bottle through beach days, hikes, and countless washes, and it still looks as beautiful as the day I put it on.

★★★★★

Been using lei wrap stickers on my laptop and water bottle for over a year now and I'm amazed at how well it's held up! The vinyl quality is top-notch - no fading or peeling even with daily use. But what I love most is how Kea captured the lei in such a beautiful way. These stickers are the perfect blend of beauty and durability!
