You step off the plane and are greeted by a lovely lady in a grass skirt.  The sun is warm, the sand is white and you have a beautiful flower lei placed around your neck.  Well, maybe a trip to Hawaii isn’t in the cards right now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate Lei Day with us!  In honor of this happy day, I present to you some amazing works that take the traditional lei just a bit farther and definitely more stylish than you have ever seen.

Wooden Button Lei Extra Long Necklace

Flowers are fun, but buttons make a statement!  From the talented hands of KauaiKwilts comes this amazing lei made from small wooden buttons.  This beautiful piece is long enough to wear doubled for an interesting look or wear it long and dream of beaches and luaus!

Lily Luau Money Lei

Want to give the gift of money, but want to do more than stick a few bucks into an envelope?  Well Jubileition has the answer with this beautiful money lei!  Created with soft green ribbon and embellished with darling money “flowers” that can be undone and spent after the party.  This darling shop is loaded with amazing leis so you are sure to find the one that suites your style.

Citrine and Mother of Pearl Beaded Necklace

Okay, so it isn’t a lei in the traditional sense, but it is long and definitely beautiful enough to grace any hula girls neck.  From the shop of DesignsByTamiza, this piece looks like shells and flowers but so much more.  Each piece in this shop is handmade with love and attention to detail that must be seen to be believed.
