The Lehua is the first tree to spring from a recent lava flow. For that reason when we speak of someone who is strong skilled and beloved they are often referred to as “Pua Lehua”. The middle name Lehua has been passed down through three generations in my family. This collection explores strength, prestige, and the compelling forces of love which all embody the meaning of Lehua. This collection utilizes Bengala sustainable mud dye, 100% recycled OEKO-TEX certified macrame cording, and silks.
