Lau-Leaf

Lauhala weaving is a traditional art Hawaiians and Polynesians have practiced for many years. A beautiful plant harvested for many of its parts, especially its leaves or leaf(Lau). The Lauhala leaves were woven into many different uses like their sails on their boats, mats for their hale(house), baskets for storage and luggaging, and etc.. The art grew to hats from different ranges and styles, Jewelry, purses, and more! Here at Lovellysea we hand weave each product with extra love and Aloha. Wear a little of Kaua'i everywhere you go.

Weaving background:

I began weaving December 2020 as my Tutu(grandmother) as my Kumu. Her astonishing knowledge she has shared with me will forever be an amazing impact to my life. All my techniques and styles I share is a piece of mana that my Tutu has shared and gifted me with. The gift is knowledge and learning how to appreciate a Hawaiian cultural practice and the family that I was blessed to be apart of. I am happy I get to share a piece of the Hawaiian culture with you all. Mahalo Tutu.
