Ni'ihau Shell Lei are widely known and treasured. These shells can only be found on the shores of Ni'ihau and treasured artisans use skills passed down to create exquisite lei. If you've ever seen or are blessed enough to own a Ni'ihau shell lei, you know just how special they are.

We dedicate this design to Queen Kapi'olani. In 1887, she wore a multi-strand lei of ivory-colored Ni'ihau shells for her portrait in New York before attending Queen Victoria's Jubilee. To honor this fusion of Hawaiian tradition and Victorian style, we've created this special design that pays homage to Queen Kapi'olani and her iconic portrait and celebrates the enduring beauty and cultural significance of the Ni'ihau shell lei.

I really like it♡

I bought one T-shirt when I visited Oahu and returned to Japan. I actually wore it and found it very comfortable, so I bought two more after returning home. This was my first sweatshirt purchase, but I really like it because it's not too thick. I also really like the design and color.

I have been wanting an oversized lei sweatshirt FOREVER, but I honestly didnt want to pay the price for it. Luckily this went on sale and I snagged me one. Tried it on and immediately fell in love. Love the feel, color, and material. Definitely will plan to buy another one in the future!
