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.

This was my first purchase and the Ni’ihau shells sold me. It was so unique with the 3 strands of different styles. The t-shirt 100% cotton was another plus for it was soft and comfortable to wear.
It was my 2nd tshirt purchase and I love the colors and the material is so soft, I usually never purchase a tshirt for this price but it's worth it and now I understand the popularity and hype! I bought a 3rd one within 2 months, I am hooked on these.
