I'd forgotten to pack a hat for this trip and might not have had a chance to buy one if I hadn't run across Mori by Art + Flea, after a meeting in the same building. The shop was very cute, with a sort of museum shop aesthetic: clean and colorful with lots of interesting merchandise, much of it made by local small businesses and artists. I didn't have time to do a full browse, but I definitely liked what I saw. There were a few baseball caps available, and I picked a flexible black one with a pink hibiscus patch sewn on the front. I wore it almost every day for the rest of my trip, from Hawaii to the Philippines. The cap made a nice souvenir, and I continue to get use out of it at home. I'm glad Mori appeared when it did. It's a great shop, definitely worth checking out if you're in Honolulu.

And although some items might be on the pricey side, they're definitely worth it!

Shopping in Kailua, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. Strolling along the sidewalk, I passed by Aloha Kira and did a double take. I saw Miffy on the top shelf of this store. I had to go in and ask... "Is this store related to the one in Waikiki?" Yes! This is the sister store of Kira x Miffy at the Royal Hawaiian Center! Of course, we had to look at all of the Miffy merchandise... fanny packs, hair clips, stickers, caps, plushies, etc. Other items featured Hello Kitty, Kuromi, My Melody, Snoopy, and more! There were pet gifts and a children's corner! The decor was cute and bright! Service was cheerful and attentive! We'll be back because this shop is more convenient than Waikiki! Plus... there's free parking behind the building!

Everytime we go in, they are sure to give Lando so much love and treats. When I try on clothes, the girls here even offer to hold Lando when I'm in the dressing room. Lando will pull me to Aloha Kira everytime we're in the area- he loves the cute dog sections with dog toys and bandanas. The curation of all the stuff here is immaculate - exactly my style! My biggest weakness is baggu bags- and they always have all the newest styles and colors. I will always check Aloha Kira before buying it online and avoid the shipping costs and wait. The selection here rotates so they always have the newest trends- from dresses, matching sets, and I love getting sunglasses from here. If you're looking for a gift for the "it girl" in your life, Aloha Kira is the shop to check out! It's a good price range, especially for gifts!

Located next to Rolex on the ground floor of international marketplace. A lot of cool and pretty…read morestuff inside the store. I always find koa wood beautiful and I'm glad there's a store selling things made from Hawaiian koa that is sustainably sourced (from downed trees). I was mainly interested in the jewelry and there were a lot of beautiful pieces. I love the linked bracelet with wood and rose gold, very elegant and unique. The earrings were handmade by an artist called Shannon from specially polished wood to reveal its fascinating chatoyancy (cat's eye effect like in some gemstones) resulting from thin, dense fibers in the wood all aligned in one direction. I've seen plenty of chatoyant gemstones, but it's my first time on a piece of wood! I knew I had to buy and wear them haha. There's also a more girly plumeria bracelet made from koa as well. I spent a lot of time in the jewelry section and didn't really get to browse other things in detail, oops. Next time. Also they offer kama'aina discount. Make sure you mention that and show your ID for it. One of the staff there said they're opening up a new store in Ala Moana soon too. Excited to see the new opening!

Stepped into this local store located in the International Marketplace First Floor…read more What caught my attention was initially the name of the store. Koa Wood Ranch. I admire Koa wood bowls, boxes, frames and more. The deep wood tones and unique grain tones attracts you to this rare local grown wood. Koa only grows in Hawaii and has played a significant role in ancient Hawaiian history. From KoaWood Ranch website: "KoaWood Ranch is a Hawaiian based retail gift, souvenir, and resort wear fashion store. Rooted in Koa tree forestry conservation, KoaWood Ranch is uniquely Hawaiian and inspired by the forest. The store offers Koa wood products and Hawaii Island themed items that include home decor, jewelry, t-shirts, watches, posters, and fine island souvenirs. Customer purchases help support the storeʻs efforts to rehabilitate the native Ohia and Koa forest in Hawaii. Proceeds go directly to the Koa conservation program. Because of customers like you, KoaWood Ranch can plant trees, better the planet, and help save the Hawaiian Koa forest." This sounds is a great program to cultivate and ensure the reforestation of koa trees. Support local. Shop local. Kristie informed me that the costs are kept reasonable at the store due to the reforestation and conservation model of the business.

It's conveniently located near ABC Stores and Musubi Cafe, but if you blink, you might miss it since there are so many surrounding shops in the area. I really enjoyed walking around the store and looking at all the different fabrics and unique items. I especially loved the beach-themed tote bags, cute hair clips, and jewelry. I only window-shopped this time around but it's a nice boutique to browse while exploring Waikiki!

Shopping at Ala Moana Center in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. There were no reviews for this store which had moved to the MALL LEVEL and is now a KIOSK. I submitted an address change edit to Yelp because I wouldn't want anyone else searching the third level for Kawaii Kawaii like I did. I finally asked the concierge on the Mall Level where Kawaii Kawaii is because it's not even on the Directory! The kiosk is between Tesla and Victoria's Secret, so, it's open air. If it rains... Good luck! The one good thing about this Ala Moana Center location is the free parking. That's it. Kawaii Kawaii only has necklaces, rings, bracelets, and earrings. There aren't any plushies, purses, key chains, nor hair accessories. You'll have to go to the Waikiki location for those cute things! The lady at the kiosk wasn't really friendly. I asked when this store became a kiosk. She said, "Last year". Okay... I felt like she was hovering over me with no attempt at conversation. Awkward! I'll stick with the Waikiki location even though parking is challenging!

It's been a while but it's still here…read more When a travel companion mentioned that he sought a particular T-shirt design, I immediately thought of this old-time business. We saw the listed address on Yelp and clicked the map to have it guide us here. When we arrived, the location differed from the listed address on the GPS so I called their number. A lady answered and told me that the company indeed moved but that she wasn't there being a Sunday. We agreed to meet Monday late morning or early afternoon. The GPS again led us to their old location so I called her again and she gave me directions. It's about a half mile from their original location. About six minutes later, we arrived a smaller parking lot and found a space there. The lady recognized me and greeted me with a smile. The layout is similar but the space is about a third of what it was at the original location. My friend shopped for shirts for his daughters and learned that one design was no longer being printed as the artist passed. Still, he was able to find shirts to bring home. In speaking with her, she is not there all the time so I highly recommend calling her to make an appointment or confirm when she is there. Thank you, Sophia, and very nice seeing you again.

Our friend had a request for specific t-shirts from Hawaii when we come over for our annual visits…read more We've never seen these designs at the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet and since we were there the day before, we did check but no luck. We went to the store at Colburn St. but the signage was not in front on the building as the store did not appear to be there anymore. I called the number and the lady said they had moved to 944 Akepo Lane, but she is currently away from the store and would be back in 30 minutes. The store was about five minutes away located in a similar warehouse building with parking in front. In about 15 minutes, the owner drove up with more shirts in the vehicle and she opened up the store. This location appears smaller, but the inventory was a little organized. T-shirts were folded and stacked on the perimeter and long sleeved were on racks. They also had kids clothing and dresses. I asked if she had current and past Chinese zodiac design t-shirts in x-large. She went to the section and pulled out all the ones she had since they were old designs. Prices ranged from $4 each to 3 for $10 to 4 for $20. After Face Timing my friend, we decided on the shirts he wanted. So we ended getting 5 vintage designs and 2 current design shirts for a total of $47. A great deal. If you're looking for souvenir or gift t-shirts, check out the T-Shirt Store.
