Description

This set of 12 handwoven lauhala napkin rings are the type of item that will be passed down to successive generations.  They are that finely made!  These are what everyone will be talking about at your next special dinner party.


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.
