ABOUT US
OUR WHY
At Leather & Lei, our mission begins with honoring God – who guides our steps and inspires our purpose, beauty, and craft. We create limited-edition, handcrafted boots that celebrate Hawaiian heritage while blending the rugged spirit of the West with the soulful grace of the islands. Each pair is a legacy of faith and culture, designed to empower women to walk boldly with confidence, culture, and purpose in every step.
Now, Hawai‘i’s cowgirl culture is getting a fresh new spotlight with the debut of Leather & Lei, a women-owned, handcrafted, and made-to-order boot brand that fuses Western craftsmanship with aloha-inspired artistry. Founded by local entrepreneur Selena Costa, Leather & Lei launches its first collection, the Lehua Boot Collection, offering custom-to-order boots that honor tradition while celebrating the strength, independence, and grace of modern women

Learn More About The Details
This collection offers timeless pieces that combine the durability of traditional Western boots with subtle design details inspired by the islands – from embroidered and embossed floral patterns reminiscent of native blooms to natural color palettes that echo Hawai‘i’s landscapes.
WE CREATE BOOTS FOR THE WORLD – WITH ALOHA
As a small, women-owned business, Leather & Lei embraces the spirit of craftsmanship and conscious fashion. Each pair is made-to-order to minimize waste, supporting a “slow fashion” movement that values longevity over mass production.
