Pāpale Niu • Big Reusable Bag

$16.00

Pāpale Niu Collection • Big Reusable Bag

Woven headwear has existed in Hawaiʻi since ancient times, traditionally hand-crafted from lauhala (pandanus) and other natural fibers for sun protection. The coconut frond hat, or pāpale niu, became widely worn during the plantation era, when durable, breathable headwear was essential for long days outdoors. Over time, pāpale niu became a familiar part of everyday life in Hawaiʻi—appearing in celebrations, childhood memories, and family homes, and carrying stories passed from one generation to the next.

A roomy, durable bag made from recycled ripstop nylon. Measures approximately 24″ wide by 21″ tall (plus handles) & comes folded into a pouch that you can re-stuff it back into when not in use.
