Our Kolonahe collection is inspired the kui method of lei making (kui: to string pierced objects, as flowers in a lei). Lei is a symbol of aloha and giving lei is an extension of aloha. It can be given as a symbol of love, friendship, to celebrate, or even honor someone. While creating this collection, it brought back a memory of lei making with my cousin.
