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!!!!
