Sweatshirt Oversized- Lei Pupu o Niihau Tee 'ele'ele
Regular price $88.00 Save $-88.00Ni'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’ve been wanting to get this sweatshirt but kept missing the 2 puakenikeni releases so when I saw this I had to finally get it before my size ran out
Still hope to get one in Puakenikeni too
Always the best quality when it comes to Mahina Made. So happy to add this gorgeous brown to my collection!
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!
Mahalo Mhina Made! This is the 2nd sweatshirt purchased for my daughter. She loves that it is so comfortable and color is a beautiful blue. Support local!
Love my oversized sweater! Pretty color!
I have not worn a sweater in a long while, but this one is amazing! 😍 soft, warm, and so comfortable!
Aloha! I was excited to receive the sweatshirt, but was disappointed with the color, fabric and fit of it. Upon arrival, the color already looked a little faded or washed / laundered. The fabric was thick, but not as soft as other sweatshirts. Also, although there was a lot of material to give the oversized feel, I just felt like a narrow cut sweatshirt with a lot of material, so it resulted in not fitting as comfortably as I expected.
Love this sweatshirt, exactly as described and comfy
Love my comfy new sweater. Can’t wait to use it on my Japan trip in the fall! I’ll want to wear it all day every day!
I love the oversized sweater (lei pīkake navy)! The softness of the sweater makes it so comfortable to wear. The shade of blue and the lei pīkake were beautifully designed. Highly recommended to others.
