This Paniau Dress features our Lei Lokelau print on Gecko material with Peapod and Ice Peach ink. 

Lei Lokelau

The sight of Uncle George Nāʻope at the Merrie Monarch Festival was always a treat.  He dressed in the most wonderful manner, befitting the icon that he was!  In addition to his jewelry and his colorful attire, he always wore lei as many were made especially for him.  The lokelau was exceptional because it was always a double lei and longer than most others. 

The smell was distinct: peppery and green.  Every year, the same person would make Uncle this special lei.  For me, each time I see a lei lokelau, I think of Uncle George.  This design of the green rose - and the lyrics of the mele composed to honor it - celebrates my memories of  Uncle George and his special lei.
