It was a quiet evening at WWM, I decided to take sometime to try to do some shopping for myself. I Mana Ka Oiwi is very clean and appealing. That night as I shopped, Kalani and Maile greeted and welcomed me with their genuine aloha. I could tell how happy they were, both were singing while they were working. I love it when people sing, I feel like they are connecting with the music and their hearts are happy. This store has a bunch of different apparel styles and tastes. I found 2 dresses for work. I got lots of complements the next day at work. In inquired about the Black Friday Sales (even though I was early, Tuesday). No sales were going on but Aunty Maile gave me a gift for my purchase. Super kind of her and much appreciated. I don't often treat myself to dresses and such, but I was so happy I was able to support local. They used to be on the second level, but now they are on the ground floor near Aloha Salads. According to the past comments, this store may be a seasonal store. I'll be back for sure. read more

Definitely a great store filled with wonderful items. Some stock includes clothes, accessories, home decor, games and plants. I do believe the prices are fair for the items provided due to the craftsmanship. Unfortunately the times that my husband and I stepped in the store we were never greeted. We felt unwelcome and looked down upon. However people who came after us were warmly welcomed and asked if they needed assistance. read more

Love the products and the businesses represented here. But they have no signage that all sales are final. The receipt message seemed outdated bc it said due to COVID 19 and the misspellings on the it. When I asked if that was just an old message bc I had hoped to exchange some items I was told COVID was still around and on the rise. They should be more transparent when ringing up purchases that all sales are final. And fix the grammar and typos on their receipt! read more

Shopping in Kaneohe, Oahu, Hawaii... On the second level of Windward Mall... You will find a special store that is destination worthy! It's called: I Mana Ka Ōiwi... We Are The Descendants... This shop will be here for a limited time because it's seasonal. The vendors are small business owners. They're all in one place for your shopping convenience! I was drawn into I Mana Ka Ōiwi because I am fascinated by authentic Hawaiian items. For example, I've always wanted a Ni'ihau shell necklace. They are rare and expensive. I saw some earrings and other jewelry in the display case... But I was afraid to ask... Haha! I also looked at the Lauhala hats. I tried to win a topless papale (hat) on Instagram, but... Alas... You cannot win them all. Aunty Ipo, the creator of the hats, approached me and encouraged me to try them on. She showed me various heights, widths, and styles. I really liked the one that her daughter had made. Aunty said that she would give me a discount and add an artificial plumeria flower. Sold. Tiamana was the efficient, friendly cashier. He was so professional and knowledgeable! He processed the transaction flawlessly. I saw him again the next day when I returned to the store to show Aunty how I paired her hat with a Wai'ono wrap. She was really happy! Tiamana saw me looking at the Ni'ihau shell jewelry again. He knew that I really wanted the Ni'ihau shell necklace and let me try one on. He was able to tell me the pros and cons of the various lengths and styles. Ahhh... I think I will be returning for one soon... I put one on hold so that I could dream about it and want it more... LOL! Note: I also like the t-shirts with Hawaiian phrases... And the soaps, tote bags, and other accessories for gifts for friends on the mainland! read more

Very friendly staff I love that they have a variety of pua for your hair or to make lei. Also, the staff is very helpful when making decisions and the prices are not too bad considering it is in the mall. I really had a wonderful shopping experience. Mahalo read more

Service is friendly and nice. Products are beautiful practical and also bold. Great Aloha prices as well. Love it.

This place... one of my favs in Windward Mall. Finally a place that has so many Hawaiian Vendors with a variety of local Hawaiian and Polynesian attire ranging from casual to elegant. Not to mention the jewelry, hats, towels and anything local you can think of. Not to mention the staff was full of Aloha as we entered and continued to shop. My friends and I all have different taste. So it's nice to have a place we can all find something we like. The kicker... I saw my Niece, Tatelyn's Hawaiian Hats. Gets better.... My daughter's pics next to the hats that I took for her line of hats. Go figure. Like I said, good stuff there. Check it out read more

Went here to replace a hula bag for my daughter. Accidently bought the wrong size. Tried to return THE SAME DAY and buy correct size and was told all sales final. Apparently everything in the store is final sale. Staff was not understanding or concerned in the slightest. All sales final was not emphasized at point of sale and only was pointed out on the receipt after trying to return. Im all for supporting local businesses but taking advantage of customers is not something to be proud of. Not pono. read more

horrible customer service. fraudulent advertising. Claimed some things were from Hawaii when they were not. as well as fake stones.

Bruh!! Support locals and kanakas!! Highly recommended. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Cracked jokes was really solid. Great selection of local and kanaka kine small businesses. Luv wat this store is doing! Yesssaaahhh!! read more

I. Love. This. Store. So. Much. Ok, hands down one of the best places to get or purchase from locally owned Hawaiian businesses. I have gotten so many great language pieces that have helped me along my path to learning 'ōlelo Hawai'i. The staff is so so so friendly and welcoming. The selection of clothes makes preparing for either a relaxing evening at home or a nice pupu evening with the girls so fun! I love all the hand made pieces and if you have questions, they staff will explain it all. Great place for gifts, and if you're a tourist, a great place to learn more about the islands you're vacationing on. Mahalo nui loa titas and brothers that work here! Love your passion for the culture and keeping the doors open so we all have a place to shop to support local Hawaiians doing their craft and skills to perfection!!!! read more

The phone number says to text message if you need immediate assistance. Whoever messaged me was wonderful in giving me the store updated hours. She also sent me pictures of the item I was in search of. On top of that she also gave me another store I could find the item I was in search of. When I arrived at the store 4 staff members went looking for more artificial haku leis, because they are placed in different parts of the store. I truly felt the aloha. As I was leaving the cashier gave me well wishes for the event I needed the lei for. read more

Loved the variety. Comfy clothes. Just happened by this store. The clerk was really helpful and patient with my questions.

A friend was visiting and we were walking off some of the delicious veggie stir fry we had at Big City Diner. I was scanning the stores in the mall for something she would not be able to find back on the mainland when I spotted an unfamiliar but unmistakably Hawaiian name and said let's go there! We found plenty of clothes for the hane, wahine, and keiko in both traditional and modern prints and styles. These are not 3/$20 aloha shirts or dresses you might find in Chinatown, but locally designed and made (I think) t shirts, tunics and dresses. I opted for a papale print dress (with pockets!!), but next time I go I think I will treat myself to the canoe paddle earrings ($35). I also had my eye on a cherry blossom print top, but as I explained to the auntie working at the dressing room, all those Christmas cookies I ate made the straight fit a big snug right now. A friend always holds a Merrie Monarch viewing party and before this year's I think I will be back for one straw papale (or two!). And I know I will find something beautiful when I do. read more
