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

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!

They have plenty of interesting items for sale. Incense, clothing, magnets, and more. They also have lots of clothes reasonably priced. Some of the items are kind of pricey. Shot glasses were kind of high at around $7 and up. If you want more bang for your buck go to Walmart. They have some $1.99. Overall, a great experience. The Gals working there were very helpful and sweet. Can't wait to return.

I went back to the store for remedy. The woman in the store basically said tough shit. No refund, no exchange, no nothing. She handed me som dessicant to try drying it out. That did not work. I wasted $15.00 and was treated really poorly. I will not be returning to the store for anything...even though they have great stuff. Really pissed off. Im local and don't deserve to be ripped off. I might as well have thrown 15.00 into the toilet.

Even got to meet the mother who came into help today. If you have little ones (girls) they will feel right at home here too. Even possibly a princess with all the cute little purses and stuffed animal. If you in Hilo you should give this place a shot like we did 10 years ago. They even have a couch for those husband, boyfriend or friends that don't like to shop

They have an uncountable number of dresses and shirts for all sizes and genders, and it's easy to find a matching set (dress for her, shirt for me) with identical prints, as my wife insisted on purchasing before attending a luau the following night. And the prices are surprisingly reasonable, with a adult dress, adult shirt, and toddler shirt/shorts combo (for our little one on the way!) ringing up around $70 bucks! It's easy to support this local, family-owned establishment, thanks to its incredible selection and affordable prices. Mahalo!

I heard about this place from my cousin and I needed a dress for a wedding. I walked in there and…read morethe worker there was so fun and helpful we all walked out with more than what we went in for. The owner was there too and it's like a fashion show with them but it makes shopping FUN and EXCITING! The only thing is there is only 1 dressing room, but it is big because two of my cousins and I were able to change at the same time. The prices is great and their discount program is awesome. The environment in the store is welcoming and the selection of clothes and accessories is great. The owner, Seleste also helps promote other local entrepreneurs, that is awesome!

We were warmly greeted upon entering and had a wonderful time browsing all the merchandise for sale. It didn't take me long to find the perfect blouse for my friend. The fabric was nice quality, the design was fitting, and best of all, she liked the lehua graphic! In addition to the shirt, I also bought one of their automobile license plate holders because I thought it had a great message, "Aloha...live it and give it." Especially on our road ways folks, be nice. It only takes but a few seconds :)

They carry all the standard surf brands with great selection for men and women. We come for the accessories like their bags, belts, hats, etc. and they have great variety.

We got exactly what we were looking for with the staff's help. They even helped us get a better deal by recommending some of their current sales.
