Hana Lima Hand Dyes - Made One At A Time On the Big Island!  

Each item from Hana Lima Hand Dyes is beautifully one-of-a-kind and practical.  They are lovely for your own use or as a gift!  

Ohe Kapala is a traditional Hawaiian art wherein designs were cared into a narrow piece of bamboo and covered with or dipped into a dye or ink, then pressed into the fabric.  Each design has a meaning and each is stamped many times on the fabric to create a complex design that traditionally tells a story.    

This scarf can be hand washed in cold water and mild shampoo and hung to dry.  

ABOUT HANA LIMA HAND DYES: 

Do you get tired of wearing the same outfits day after day? I know I do! And I didn’t have time to shop for something new or I couldn’t find what I liked.  That’s why I started Hana Lima Hand Dyes, says Kathy Lukens, who started the company for her personal enjoyment. 

“I wanted to make accessories that I could wear with the clothes I already had AND give me a totally new look. I was also tired of mass market, throw away clothes that I wore just a few times before they were ready to be discarded.

So I started by creating scarves that made my current wardrobe pop. They are light enough to wear in Hawaii and are made to last. I know because we do the entire process ourselves - from design to cutting, sewing, dyeing and stamping. And we make them one at a time so no two are exactly alike. That means high quality, long lasting and bespoke.

From scarves, we’ve expanded our product line to include wraps, shrugs, pareu, aprons, tea towels, leggings and socks, all made with the same attention to detail and love. We are super small and can only make a limited quantity so you won’t see your Hana Lima Hand Dyes creation on anyone else.
