Dawn & Jo

Twenty years of friendship, one shared craft table.

We’re a Nevada-based, women-owned business built on a friendship that stretches back two decades and a shared love of the communities that shaped us. Every lei we make honors Pasifika and Southeast Asian celebrations worth passing on — graduations, weddings, homecomings, and the everyday reasons to say you matter to us.

Each piece takes real hands, real time, and real ribbon — never anything mass-produced. When you wear a Hook’d & Lei’d lei, you’re wearing two decades of friendship and a whole lot of care.

Hand-tied

Every lei, by hand

No shortcuts, no machines. Each strand is looped, knotted, or crocheted one at a time by Dawn or Jo.

Made to order

Custom colors & occasions

Graduation colors, wedding palettes, or a favorite team — we build pricing around what your day needs.

Community first

Rooted in who we are

Every design draws from the Pasifika and Southeast Asian celebrations worth honoring in our own families.
