LEI MAKING

Why a Pareo Is the Perfect Companion for Lei Making

There’s something special about slowing down to make lei. Whether you're gathering flowers from the garden, creating a gift for someone you love, or preparing for a celebration, lei making is a tradition rooted in patience, creativity, and aloha.

A pareo is one of the easiest pieces to wear while spending time creating. Lightweight and breathable, it keeps you comfortable on warm island days while allowing you to move freely as you gather, sort, and string flowers. Whether you tie it as a skirt, wrap it as a dress, or drape it over your shoulders, a pareo offers effortless comfort without sacrificing style.

Its versatility also makes it practical throughout the entire process. Lay your pareo on the grass for a comfortable place to sit while weaving, use it as a light cover from the afternoon sun, then simply retie it and head to lunch or meet friends without needing to change. It's a timeless piece that transitions seamlessly from creative moments to everyday island life.

Designed on Maui and hand-dyed in Bali, our pareos celebrate the beauty of simple living and thoughtful craftsmanship. They’re made for mornings spent weaving lei on the lanai, afternoons at the beach, and evenings shared with family and friends.
