Ni’ihau Shells Leis on Palaka Jackey

Handmade Denim Jacket – Ni‘ihau Shells Over Palaka Appliqué | No Two Alike | Handcrafted in Hawai‘i

Rooted in heritage and handcrafted with aloha, this one-of-a-kind denim jacket brings together two iconic elements of Hawaiian culture: the traditional palaka fabric and the revered Ni‘ihau shells.

Each jacket features palaka appliqué panels—a classic Hawaiian textile once worn by plantation workers—layered with delicate representations of Ni‘ihau shell lei, symbolizing respect, rarity, and deep cultural value. Every stitch is placed by hand, honoring generations of craftsmanship.

Made in Hawai‘i and truly one of a kind, no two jackets are exactly alike, making each piece as unique as the person who wears it.
