Item Description
This beautiful hat was hand woven from lauhala grown here in Kona. The size is a medium with approximately a 22-23 inch circumference.
Item Special Note
Lauhala, lau meaning leaf in Hawaiian, refers to the leaves of the Hala Tree (Pandanus tectorius). Many cultures weave the leaves of the P. tectorius to create useful items such as baskets, mats and hats. Though it is a long and arduous process to prepare the leaves for weaving, the final products are beautiful works of art with a pleasing earthy feel.
