Item Description
Item Description:
Dimensions of papale- 22inch band, 1 3/4inch crown, 3 1/4inch brim
Design- niho top crown, hii luu edge, maka moena
This papale lauhala (pandanus hat) piko ole (crownless) is a Hawaiian style open crown hat woven (actually plaited) of carefully prepared and stripped lauhala, or leaves of the pandanus tree, a natural fiber. It was woven on the island of Kauai by a member of our community weaving group on Zoom led by Kumu Maile Andrade. It is a piko ole hat with a niho design on the top of the band of the hat.
Maile Andrade is a faculty member at Kamakakuokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies and one of the classes she teaches is HWST 322 - Advanced Hawaiian Fiber Arts Studio-Hana Noeau Maawe. In HWST 322 the students examine the customary and contemporary use of fiber materials and the skills used in Hawaiian culture. Research and explore advanced techniques within the media used in traditional Hawaii. This class is a part of the Halau o Laka: Native Hawaiian Creative Expression concentration track.

Item Special Note
The string that is woven into the base of the crown, is used for tightening or loosening the fit. This string is the backbone of the papale and it should never be removed.
To clean the papale, wipe with a clean damp cloth and let papale air dry completely before storing.
If papale gets very wet, i.e., it happens to rain, don't panic. Let it air dry completely before storing.
Winning bidder is responsible for any applicable shipping and handling costs.
