i collect bags and definitely didn’t need another, but the colors and design of this bag caught my eye. It is exactly as represented in the ad. It’s also lightweight and it appears to be made of durable material. I have not had an opportunity to use it yet, but I really like that it can piggy back on to your carry on, it’s big enough for not only your needs but it will also accommodate a small handbag to use at your destination.
I finally found the perfect mini pouch to put my eyeglass case and other necessities into. I’m definitely in love with the color!! Your products are well made and I’m so happy with all my purchases!! Mahalo
Love love the colors and size of the bag. I can't wait to travel with it, but in the mean time it will be my crochet bag. The ladies in my group will just love it as well.
What a great tech bag! We travel a lot and needed something to carry my small 360 camera equipment that could fit into any other suitcase and be pulled out quickly while working. This is the perfect size to keep everything organized and to fit into my hiking backpack. This bag is perfect!
Always wanted this bag for travel and finally purchased it for an upcoming trip. Received it quickly and fell in love with it as soon as I opened it. It surpassed all of my expectations. It's a lovely bag that is exceptionally made. Seems very sturdy like it will hold up well. And the print...LOVE!
It's cute and can't wait to use it!
Nice color!
I love this box! Back to the OG colors of the pua and items that I'm keeping for myself and using. I pulled out the crossbody and immediately transferred my purse contents into it to use tonight. I needed a lunch bag of this size and will use it tomorrow. Sorry friends, this one will not be gifted!
Adorable perfect!
Love Puakenikeni totes because their designs remind of home when I go on trips. They are workhorses because I can pack a ton of stuff in them. But they are light weight at the same time to balance out all my stuffs!! With my membership, I give the totes as gifts and family/friends loves them too.
I’m so proud and happy with my Puakenikeni license plate holder!! Love the colors, flowers and the words are noticeably large!! Will be getting for my grand daughters cars!!
I have been searching for a durable and secure travel bag to replace a favorite old bag. This Holoholo bag checks all the boxes. I especially appreciate the zippered pocket that converts to a secure way to carry the bag on top of a suitcase. The.zippered top provides security my former bag did not have.
Love
Great deal. I will keep a couple items and gift the others. Always nice to be able to use everything!
Cool sticker. I gifted this Puakenikeni sticker to my hanai sis and she loves it!
