Lei Po’o Workshop with Leiho’ohie!
Visit us at 1140 Bethel Street for our Lei Po’o Workshop with Leiho’ohie.
Come spend an afternoon with Kara at the NEW Classic Waves Boutique in Chinatown. Experience Haku Aloha by Leiho'ohie.
Haku Aloha, which means Weaving Aloha, is an elevated lei-making experience now offered in collaboration with Classic Waves Boutique. We’ll begin with a reflective moment to ground ourselves, then dive into a traditional Hawaiian lei-making method with a modern, sustainable twist. Along the way, we’ll weave in ‘Ōlelo Hawai‘i (Hawaiian language and proverbs), engage our senses, and honor the beauty of nature and culture. You’ll also enjoy light refreshments, exclusive shopping discounts, and a styled mini photo shoot in front of the iconic Hawaii Theatre with your handcrafted lei. Whether you come solo or with friends, you’ll leave feeling uplifted, inspired, and adorned in aloha.

Deep beneath Na Mokulua is a beautiful mystery. She is hidden in the sky and floating beneath the islands in Lanikai. Growing up in Kailua I would imagine a mermaid as the outline of these iconic islands. Here is the magical world of our Local Mermaid.
