Leis! Leis! Leis!

Graduation time is here and we're busy making leis! So if you need a lei.. or two... or three... make sure you call to place your order early to ensure you get what you want.

Because this is our busiest season, best to order at least two weeks in advance. There's a point where we have to stop taking orders cuz we're maxed-out. But you can always walk in and TRY to get one from the floral cooler. Good luck cuz it gets crazy busy! As the old saying goes... "The early bird gets the worm". Or should I say... "DA LEI".

Travel Ukulele

Here's one of our newest products... Kala's thin-body, light-weight TRAVEL UKULELE. Weights only .9 lbs... Yes, that's right bruddahs and sistahs, you read that right. Only .9 lbs! Can you believe there's an ukulele that weighs under 1 lb? That's why they call it "Travel Ukes".  You can take it anywhere with ease and it even comes with a case embroidered with the Kala logo. A real beauty!

It's made of a solid spruce top and solid mahogany sides with an arch back and premium Aquila strings. All of which makes the sound so phenomenal for its size. You won't believe it until you hear it!  It'll be love at first strum! 

Pa'u Skirts

For the hula dancers or those who just love to wear the traditional Hawaiian Pa'u skirts... we just got a new shipment in! They're one size fits most and comes in a variety of colors and prints. 

Locals Slippers

Calling all Anties and Uncles- Motu Hawaii get plenty Locals!!!!!! Just to let you all know what's up, we (at Motu) try our best to keep all your favorite items stocked. With that being said, we can order the things you love, but it doesn't mean we going get'em. In this case, we've been short Locals for a few months, plus some more months due to a "Locals shortage" in HI.

BUT who cares about that now cuz we get'em, and we're expecting more to come through so that we're stocked through the hot summer season. We also ordered some "Surfah" slippers for all you that like that softer more cusion kine feel.

Guarantee these will sell out quick so we hope to see you sooner.
