The lei custom was introduced to the Hawaiian Islands by early Polynesian voyagers, who took an incredible journey from Tahiti, navigating by the stars in sailing canoes. With these early settlers, the lei tradition in Hawaii was born.
Leis were constructed of flowers, leaves, shells, seeds, nuts, feathers, and even bone and teeth
of various animals. These garlands were worn by ancient Hawaiians to beautify themselves and distinguish themselves from others. |
Unpack your lei as soon as it arrives.
If it seems dry, mist with water.
Do not soak or over water your leis.
Keep cool or refrigerate until it is to be worn.
keep out of direct sunlight and away from drafts as much as possible.
