ʻUlu Backpack

MO‘OLELO: The god Kū, before he was known as a god, fell in love with a human and worked hard as a planter in her village. When a terrible famine struck, Kū sacrificed himself for his wife and children by disappearing into the ground. Standing over that spot, his wife's tears wet the soil and the next day a tiny green plant sprouted from the earth The plant quickly grew bigger and bigger until it was a full size ‘ulu tree with enough fruit to feed the entire village. That night, Kū came to his wife in a dream and told her how to peel and prepare ‘ulu for eating. The village was nourished again. But when villagers tried to take the fruit for themselves, the tree quickly sucked back into the ground. Kū again spoke to his wife and instructed her to dig up the keiki shoots to give to neighbors and friends. When ‘ulu is treated as a gift given with aloha, there is more than enough for everyone. • Made from 100% polyester - Water-resistant material • Dimensions: 16.1″ x 12.2″ x 5.5″ • Hidden pocket with a separate pocket for a 15” laptop with zipper on the back of the bag • Top zipper has 2 sliders with zipper pullers attached to each slider • Silky lining, piped inside hems and a soft mesh back • Padded ergonomic bag straps with strap regulators This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you.
