Found a beautiful, unique opihi print dress and matching aloha shirt for my significant other. He's not into "matchy matchy" wear, but I was surprised he was willing to wear the aloha shirt because he actually liked the print! Who knew?!!

Because we were here for Merrie Monarch weekend. They were incredibly well staffed and had a great selection of items but of course their limited pieces were almost sold out by the time we got there. The store is beautiful and they're doing some gift with purchase for every hundred dollars you spend up to $300 (free beach bag tote). There's nothing else like this on the strip so you must stop here if you're in Hilo town for a long time or just a good time.

I used to go to the downtown store with a co-worker but it is easier to order online. There are more sizes and designs on-line, and shipment is super fast!

Shopping in Hilo Town, Hawaii…read more.. I remember the name of this store... I was here decades ago when I was active with the Jaycees (Junior Chamber of Commerce). We would have meetings on the Big Island every so often. After our gatherings, we'd roam around the town! This store still has amusing gifts, practical items, and cute stuff! It has postcards, jewelry, t-shirts, plushies, baby items, children's toys, Aloha shirts, soaps, lotions, books, Hello Kitty merchandise, tote bags, greeting cards, and more! Service is very friendly! The nice lady at the cash register asked me about my Shohei Ohtani shirt... LOL! Note: this store didn't have air conditioning... shucks! However, there's free street parking all around the area!

Review #13 for 2020…read more Aunty Zennie Sawyer of Haku Designs has been making AMAZING clothing and accessories from her original screen prints for several decades. All of her designs are based on things from the āina such as kalo, kupukupu, lauae, liko, ōhia lehua, and more. She primarily prints women's clothing and accessories (v-neck shirts, tank tops, scarves, etc), but she also does a limited stock of men's clothing as well. Last year I provided Aunty Zennie with a collared black shirt and requested a liko print, and I was super stoked with how it came out. Every time I wear the shirt, I get lots of compliments, and I tell people it's one of a kind! She recently did a copper colored print of kalo on a dark gray shirt for me, and I'm stoked to wear it once the stay-at-home order is lifted. Aunty Zennie mostly does small craft fairs, but she also posts her stock to Instagram and Facebook and can be contacted on those platforms for orders. She is an amazing kupuna and actively lives out aloha āina. IG: https://instagram.com/zennie.sawyer?igshid=1vn0q9ajzxl1w FB: https://www.facebook.com/zenaida.sawyer
