Item Description
Are you a cowboy at heart? Feeling royal? Or maybe you are more like a Kona coffee farmer? Create your heart’s desire in a lauhala hat with this $200 gift certificate from Kimura's Lauhala Shop in Holualoa, Hawaii. You will be able to meet with Renee Kimura to discuss what size you are, what style and with a hatband or not. Kimura's will do the rest, creating a one-of-a-kind lauhala hat custom-made just for you.
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.
