Cindy's Lei & Flower Shoppe ALOHA! We are a full service lei store offering a large variety of fresh Hawaiian leis for any event
(36)

We are a full service lei store offering a large variety of fresh Hawaiian leis. Our specialty is twofold: preparing leis for special occasions, and shipping leis to the mainland United States. Owner Cindy Lau is well known for her customer care and expertise in the lei industry. Her goal is simple: offer the best variety of leis at reasonable prices. After 45 years the store continues to serve ge

nerations of Hawaiian families and mainlanders, earning local and national recognition as Hawaii's best. We invite you to join our tradition of giving a lei to someone you love or wish to honor. History

Established in 1961, Cindy's Lei Shoppe has long been recognized as a landmark in Chinatown, one of the oldest lei stands in Hawaii, and the local favorite to buy fresh flower leis. Cindy believes it was her good fortune to marry into a first generation Chinese-American family that sold leis and corsages out of the Lau barbershop in the 1950s. Born and raised in Canton, China, Cindy was astutely aware of her need to master not only the English language, but the trade and craft of lei making and lei selling as well. From 1961, devoted husband, children, and family worked tireless hours in that same Chinatown location to establish her own store, and named it Cindy's Lei Shoppe. Cindy is proud to have daughter, two sons, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren on occasion, to continue this third generation family business. The shop continues to be honored for its variety, availability and customer care. Mention "leis", and Cindy's Lei Shoppe will follow as Hawaii's best.

Aloha Kakou,

It is with a heavy heart that we close up our storefront from 3/24/20 thru 4/30/20 per the Hawaii State Govt mandate in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We wish you all the serenity and courage to overcome the hardships now facing our communities across Hawaii, the Mainland and around the world. We look forward to reopening and seeing all of you by May 2020. By then we are hoping for a full bloom of Pikake and to see the beginning of Pakalana season. Puakenikeni season is already on and we plan on stocking fragrant local and Tahitian flowers then. In spite of cancelled / suspended graduation ceremonies, please consider going BIG with gifting Ohana and friends graduating with our Local Style and Glamour Haku! This year alone we have taken pride in changing up our inventory and sourcing more local flowers, including from both the Big Island and Maui, for cherished occasions: weddings, appreciation gifts, hoolaulea, hoike, celebrations of life, birthdays, photoshoots and corporate / school events. We look forward to continuing to share our repertoire of floral designs and lei variety when we return!

Cindy's Lei Shoppe manager Karen Lee was interviewed by KHON2 News yesterday to comment on limited supply of various flowers that we string into lei as we approach graduation season

Make sure to have a second option in mind if you plan on ordering lei in the next few months. April and May mark the peak of lei season for florists. Many in high demand, will be hard to come by.

Aloha Kakahiaka! Check us out in CNN's Great Big Story series which touches on some of the past tradition of lei. We are featured alongside talented lei making artisans Bill Char and Meleana Estes.

One important takeaway Cindy's manager Karen Lee says is this: "You know that if you got a lei or gifted a lei you had a connection with Hawaii"

In Hawaii, there’s no better way to say and share aloha than with a lei. The floral craft, which dates back to traditional times, may seem straightforward to...
