Ohana, the Hawaiian Family

 

Lilo Pelekai 

(Inspired by Lilo and Stitch)

Birth Date: Kepakemapa 15, 2020 (09/15/20) 

Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind or forgotten. 

The delightful sound of Lilo's Ukulele echoes across the Aina (land) accompanying her songs about the Menehune Ohana (family), Hawaiian animals, the forest, the ocean, and the stars in the Universe.

Lilo’s music illuminates life with joy and happiness! 

Lilo is a sweet, courageous and high-spirited girl. After all her last name, Pelekai means ‘Volcano of the Sea’.
In the Hawaiian language Lilo means generous and Lilo is more than generous sharing her love with the Ohana. She is devoted to her Ohana and believes in the good of everyone.

In Hawai’i you don’t have to be related by blood to be considered Ohana. 

Here we are connected one to another in many ways. 

Lilo knows, that whether the bond is by blood or Aloha, 

we are Ohana and take care of each other. 

Lilo also loves dancing the Hula. Her dance contains a magic that conveys the spirit of Aloha and gladdens the heart.

Lilo’s Tutu (grandmother) sewed her red dress with the white leaves and crocheted turquoise underpants and slippers which she adorned with crystals. Tutu wove her Mana (spiritual energy) and Aloha (love) into Lilo's Puakenikeni flower and Maile leaf Haku (head lei).
All these precious things were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha (Love) to her beloved Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter).

Lilo is a 10” tall cloth doll who was individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii.
Her body is made out of doll skin and stuffed with high quality poly fill. The body is wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. All accessories are individually hand crafted.
Lilo is not a dress up doll. All clothing and accessories are sewn and/or glued onto her.

 

Doll care: Gently brush the dolls and their clothing with a soft toothbrush to remove dust. Always brush the faces and bodies upwards towards the hair.

Lilo is a one of a kind Hawaiian Art Doll. Every bit of her has been lovingly handcrafted, to create a new friend who will last a lifetime.

 

Lilo reflects the Aloha spirit of Hawaii. 

She is ready to be part of your Ohana and sing her way into your heart!
