My go to bag for traveling! Mahalo!
Liked the design and available print.
I ordered all 3 backpacks, all are beautiful and well made. I’m keeping one and giving the other 2 as gifts.
I gifted t-shirts to my daughter/law in Indiana for her birthday. She commented how soft they felt and perfect fits.
Very beautiful, great size and well made. It's my new favorite "go to" backpack!
My granddaughters love this flower so I got some things for Christmas they are going to love it
Love everything!!!
Love the new added strap. Makes it convenient and easier to grab from bag as well as carry along with other bags.
Croc Charm (Puakenikeni)
I absolutely love my 1st Puakenikeni Box! Everything in this box has brought me so much happiness…I can’t wait to sport my Puakenikeni Holoholo Backpack all over northern Virginia!

I received my bag very fast and am so happy with my purchase. We are traveling to Kauai and Maui and I am excited to be carrying this very attractive and well designed bag. Well worth the price!!
Loving my box contents! I’m going on a trip in a week and I can’t wait to use my new bags and wallet! I also bought two holoholo bags (one for me and one for my mom) that I just absolutely LOVE!! Thanks you so much!!!
