Carrying A Hawaiian Tradition

Pomaika‘inalani Ipu Bags were created by Sanoe Hunt Takushi, a hula dancer from Pukalani, Maui. After seeing so many ipu being carried in makeshift bags that did not fit the instrument and offered no protection, Sanoe decided to create the ultimate in ipuwear. These bags are based on a design by Sanoe’s grandmother, Dorothy Kapua‘ala Alo, and are very versatile, also suitable as beach bags, daypacks, or general carryalls.
