‘Olena is named after her favorite food the yellow pineapple. As a big surprise, Tutu (grandmother) made her a gorgeous pineapple Hula outfit, because ‘Olena just loves dancing the Hula.

The sacred drumming of the Ipu Heke (gourd drum) echoes across the 'Aina (land) as ‘Olena dances and chants with the Akuas (spirits) of the Ohia Forest.

The graceful movements of her hands and body tell stories about the wonders of nature, the creation of the world and the traditions of the Hawaiian people.

‘Olena's Hula attunes us to spirit and gladdens the heart.

‘Olena’s Tutu is her Kumu Hula (Hula Teacher). She taught her all the powerful movements of the Hula.

Tutu also hand crafted ‘Olena’s gorgeous pineapple Hula outfit. She crocheted a yellow top and bikini pants, a pineapple headdress and put a matching belt around ‘Olena’s Ti Leaf skirt.

Tutu handcrafted a necklace and wrist leis out of Kukui nuts, which represent spirit revealing itself, inner light, hope and renewal.

All these precious things were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha (Love) to her beloved Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter).

‘Olena is about 4” tall fitting in the palm of your hand. The body is made from stretch cotton and wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. ‘Olena has tiny little hands and feet, ears, buttocks, and a belly button. All accessories were individually handcrafted.

‘Olena 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. Do not brush the hair!

‘Olena is a one of a kind display doll handcrafted by Hawaiian Dolls. She comes with her story and a certificate of authenticity.

‘Olena is a collector’s item bringing you the spiritual power of Hawaii.

Every bit of ‘Olena has been lovingly handcrafted to create a new friend who will last a lifetime.
