Hawaiian Feather Lei Hulu Humupapa Merrie Monarch Hula Festival Graduation

Description

Get ready for Merrie Monarch or graduation & stand out in the crowds by wearing a one of a kind feather lei art piece. Being presented is a new and unused Hawaiian Lei Hulu (feather lei), Humupapa style.. This lei was created using a unique blend of antique gold & palapalai fern (color like a parrot) goose coquille feathers. Each 3” color block is rotated throughout the lei. This one of a kind piece is unique and original. (Note: Hat not included).
This lei hulu is a traditional, yet contemporary-modern style lei for hula dancers and/or Hawaiian lei enthusiasts. Each of the several hundred (thousands?) of single feathers are meticulously sewn by hand. The lei, if sold in stores, would cost 0-600+. Custom orders available.
This lei can be worn on a hat. Great for graduations, hula performances, hanging out at Merrie Monarch, or a gift for that special someone. The Humupapa style lei measures 26” long. The width is 1.75”
I am a 4th generation kama’aina (born and raised in Hawaii) that has been making lei hulu for 25+ years. I have been taught by several feather lei experts (including Kumu-Aunty Paulette and Kumu Mele from Na Lima Mili Hulu No'eau in Honolulu, HI). I have danced Hula professionally for 15+ years (studied under Kumu Patrick Makuakane) and speak Hawaiian (Haumana of Kumu Noe'au Warner). Hence, I take this craft very seriously and put a lot of aloha and pride into my work.
No returns. Please ask all questions before bidding or purchasing. I ship all of my leis in Rubbermaid-like waterproof containers for safekeeping and longevity. Custom orders accepted. Please inquire. Aloha.
