History of the lei:
The magical history of the floral lei dates back to the ancient Hawaiians who wore braided leaves, native flowers, shells, feathers, stones and bones to beautify themselves. They also offered these hand-made garlands to each other and to their gods as a symbol of
love and friendship.
The lei was treasured and worn with pride by people of every age. During the Boat Days of the late 1800's, the popularity of the lei grew as visitors who arrived by ship were greeted with aloha and presented with a floral leis. Legends grew around the luck of the lei. It was said if a departing visitor tossed their lei into the ocean and it floated back to the beach, it meant that the person would someday return to the islands. Hundreds of leis could be seen floating in the crystal waters off of Diamond Head as a ship steamed away.
Today, the ancient tradition continues. The tender and beautiful lei is still carefully made by hand - weaving fragrant and colorful flowers and leaves together to create a work of art. Leis are worn on all special occasions and given to family and friends as gifts of love. The lei is a symbol of Hawaii.
Island Leis wants you to experience this priceless piece of history and tradition as you embark on your journey to the islands. We want to extend our aloha spirit and welcome you to our home.
After all, Hawaii is an experience, not just a destination!
