Our Story
“He pua laha’ole”- A flower is not common. Each flower is a prized and rare blossom; the philosphy of Na Pua Designs from an ‘olelo no’eau – Hawaiian proverb.
Na Pua Designs was created by Anjal Pong, the artist and flower designer. Anjal first began learning traditional Hawaiian practices with na pua (flowers) over 12 years ago as a hula student under Kumu Hula, Kawika Alfiche. As a member of his halau (hula school), all lole (costumes), implements, and adornments were made by hand maintaining traditional cultural practices. The ability to perform different styles of lei making and plant identification were mandatory by all haumana (students).
Hula and elements of nature are the inspirations for Anjal’s artwork. All products can be found at our Etsy Shop. https://www.etsy.com/shop/NaPuaDesigns
