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

Authentic Design

I ordered a lot of things during Black Friday and your company shipped very quickly and I was so happy to receive my order. I have seen a great deal of lei designs on shirts this year, so I am excited to proudly wear my new Lei Pupu o Niihau Tee. I feel that the design is so authentic and real-like. I also love my Calender and the ‘Olelo Hawai’i. I look forward to up and coming future designs!

Awesome!!

My story started more than a few years ago. I was inspired to dress aloha on Fridays. My first purchase was a puakenikeni shirt. I still wear it and love it! Since then I have a drawer filled with shirts. I can now wear one everyday and feel the aloha around me. I have had multiple compliments when and where ever I go even in Las Vegas. What would life be without Mahina Made??? Don't want to find out. Keep up the ALOHA!!!!

Nice tee shirt but a but disappointing

My first Mahina Made tee shirt! I had seen so many women wearing these and loved them so decided to take advantage of a recent online sale. Since I was unable to find my size at the local store.

The tee shirt was shipped & arrived quickly. It is quite comfortable. However, a bit disappointed in that it is quite thin and appears faded in color (unlike what I had tried on at the store and as seen on,line).. I still absolutely love the lei designs but will be more prudent in my next purchase….

I LOVE this shirt!

The Lei Pupu o Niihau Tee - Ele'ele is a new favorite top in my closet. The things I love: the fit, the soft cotton fabric, the neckline, the lei pūpū colors and placement, and that I can wear with just about anything in my closet and to any occasion. I also love the service/quality from MahinaMade and the customer support. Mahalo nui.

Island Heritage

I grew up in Honolulu and now live in Los Angeles. I try to get back to the Islands to visit at least once a year. This past visit, two of my cousins, at two different family luncheons, were wearing Mahina Made t shirts. One cousin told me she has something like seven of them. On my last full day in Honolulu this visit, I went to the store in Ward Village. I wanted to try them on to see for sizing and also to see the variety of shirts. I am normally a Medium but sized up to a Large for the looser fit. I really liked the shirts and bought the Puakenikeni – Pear and the Lokelani – Navy. Love them. When I got home to LA, I ordered the Pupu O Niihau – Eleele, one for me and one for my daughter who was intrigued when I told her about the shirts. I really like the Pupu o Niihau. My daughter loves hers also! The cut of the tshirt and the heavier thickness of the fabric are slightly different from the other two I bought. The Pupu o Niihau feels dressier. I hope you do more tshirts in the Tee Luna model. All in all, I love my Mahina Made tee shirts. I regularly check your website to see what new models and styles you are bringing out. Whenever I wear these t shirts, I feel my Island heritage! (This is the second time I am submitting this review. Don't know if it went through the first time.)

Got this tee for my mom and and she loves it! We’ve been looking for ways to support Native Hawaiian businesses, and I’m glad I found this one. I also purchased a tee for myself, and I love mine too! I ordered this tee a size smaller for my mom and it fits, so I recommend ordering a size down.

Love the Ni’ihau shells

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.

Love the colors!

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.

Great Local Tees

The lovely vivid colors and high quality of the women’s tees are ideal. The various subtle lei prints adds just the right touch of local flair and style. I’m a very satisfied customer with many Mahina Made tees in my wardrobe.
