About the Pattern:

Manaola honors the transference of strength, resilience, and grace from generation to generation with the Ka Leilehua design. Like the first budding of the Liko to the full bloom of the flower, the imagery of this creation reflects one’s life journey from youth to maturity. The lei poo (lei worn on the head) adorning Ka Leilehua mirrors the different phases of a person’s maturation with the stages of growth in a blossom. In the vertical placement and succession of the pattern, the lei poo becomes the lei ai (neck lei) for the next woman in line, a visual expression of the perpetual flow of genealogical knowledge and wisdom passed down through time and space. We welcome you to see yourself, the women who came before you, and the women who will come after you in the imagery of this design.
