ABOUT LEATHER & LEI
Founded in Hawai‘i, Leather & Lei is a women-owned, handcrafted boot brand inspired by the union of island heritage and Western tradition. Each pair is made with a deep commitment to quality, sustainability, and the aloha spirit – designed for women who embody confidence, independence, and authenticity in every step.
Created with a vision to honor God and celebrate Hawaiian heritage through timeless craftsmanship, Leather & Lei draws inspiration from the rugged spirit of the West and the soulful elegance of the islands. Each handcrafted, limited-edition design tells a story – one of faith, resilience, and beauty – carrying the essence of aloha in every stitch.
Our boots are more than footwear; they are legacies, made to be worn, cherished, and passed down from generation to generation. Every pair reflects the heart of our brand name: tough as leather, soft as lei – a perfect balance of strength and grace. Guided by faith, Leather & Lei serves as a reminder to walk boldly with confidence, culture, and purpose.
“Leather & Lei was born from my love of both Hawai‘i and the Western lifestyle. I wanted to create something that represents the women who embody strength and beauty – those who work hard, move with purpose, and carry the aloha spirit wherever they go.”
– Selena, Leather & Lei Founder
OUR FOUNDER
Aloha, my name is Selena, and I am the creator of Leather & Lei. This brand was born from my love for my Hawaiian heritage, my faith in God, and my passion for creating something lasting and meaningful.
Leather & Lei is a women’s line of handcrafted, limited-edition boots inspired by both the rugged strength of the West and the graceful beauty of the islands. Each pair is carefully handcrafted with Hawaiian-inspired designs that I created to carry the spirit of aloha in every detail.
These boots are more than fashion – they are time-honored traditions meant to be worn, cherished, and passed down from one generation to the next. My prayer is that every woman who wears Leather & Lei feels empowered to walk with confidence, culture, and faith in every step she takes.
