The Koloa Trading Post moved in the space vacated when Paradise Clothing closed. I'm not sure how…read morelong they've been open. If they have a website I couldn't find it online. The space looks shiny and clean, the wood floors gleaming. We had dinner at Garden Island Grille next door tonight and spent a few minutes beforehand exploring Koloa Trading Post. It was notable for its interesting and appealing merchandise and the absolute unfriendliness of the young woman who was working there tonight. Alan and I wandered through for 5 or 10 minutes looking over the merchandise. We were not acknowledged, nor were any of the other customers who wandered through, as far as I could tell. There are hats and aloha shirts, interesting decorative and functional ceramics, funny socks and oven mitts w/ funny and vulgar sayings.. There are t-shirts and jewelry and other items. We left and went next door to put our name in at the restaurant. The wait was about 30 minutes. Alan saw an attractive long sleeve t-shirt in the interior window facing the hallway to the restaurant. Because he liked it we went back. I thought it was for him, but it was a woman's style and he was thinking it would be for me. I liked it and decided to buy it. He gave me his credit card and I took the shirt to the front desk where the young woman had been helping another customer, who seemed to be making a return. I handed her the shirt and she asked if that was all I wanted. Yes. She rang me up, folded the shirt carelessly and put it in the smallest bag possible. Whoever owns this store has nice taste in merchandise, but needs to hire staff who are more outgoing and helpful. I'm not particularly demanding, but I do expect to be acknowledged when I'm in a store. The 4 stars are for the merchandise.

I also liked their huge selection of sandals from Reef that are perfect for the beach. Service was always friendly and the employees are happy to help answer any questions you may have.

I visited this boutique recently and had a very disturbing experience. During my conversation with…read moreone of the salespeople, they made openly antisemitic remarks about Jewish people. It was completely unprovoked, inappropriate, and deeply offensive. No customer should be subjected to this kind of hateful language, and it made me extremely uncomfortable. I want others to be aware of my experience before choosing to shop here. There are plenty of businesses on Kauai that treat all people with respect--unfortunately, this was not one of them during my visit.

I had frequented Blue Ginger (Kuku-Ola shopping center) every time I visited Kauai! I have several…read moredresses! However, my recent visit wasn't as usual. The customer service wasn't the same. Twice this week on two separate visits I experienced very poor customer service. The first visit found myself and only one other customer in the store. As I was browsing, the employee was chatting with another customer about her divorce, her two son. I they had biblical names. Anyway, everything was about her divorce and her sons, not once did she stop to ask if I needed help. I continued to browse, and she never approached me. Fast forward a couple days, Thursday I checked the website for hours, which indicated 9:00 a.m. I knocked on the door, the employee looked up and ignored my knock. So I called to see if they would be opening soon, no answer! Employee can still see me I knocked one more time and she looked up gestured her hand as to flipping/shooing me away! I tried to make eye contact gesturing with my hands two five (10:00) she continued to shoo me away with her hand. Honestly, all she had to do was simply tell me when they would be opening. I felt she was very rude, and unprofessional. I've spent a lot of money in their establishment, told my friends too. However, I will no longer spend my $$$$ at any Blue Ginger.

When I left the shop and checked my receipt, I was charged full price $108. I went back in to confirm pricing and was told it wasn't on sale. I swear there was a sign that said 40% off but at this point had taken so long to pick the ring out that I left the shop happy with the ring but not the price paid. Which rings were 40% off ? I guess I will never know? I probably should have confirmed with the owner what the sale price was referring to, but she seemed frustrated that I returned to question the price after taking so ling to make the purchase that I felt bad and left without confirmation. My bad.

His first pick & he asked if I approve....yes, indeed! On the way to purchasing it, I scanned over other hats on the wall & I spied a crossover bag that screamed at me. Yessss! Finally, one that's Hawaiian inspired with a wide strap & the size I need. Score! The staff were nice & friendly with a ready smile. Now back to Lydgate to swim with my kick board. I'm set!

A lot of stuff packed into a little store... Stopped in last…read morenight before dinner, and boy does this store have a lot of stuff. From t shirts and hats, to boardshorts/bikinis, flip flops, and backpacks. They even carry refillable water bottles and cups. Here's the thing though, everything is piled together and you have no idea what is where, and good luck finding something in your size. Like I said everything is kind of piled on top of each other, or hing on the few racks but without order. For example, we found a t shirt, but only one. Asked the young lady working, and she said not sure that we could look through the piles on one of the tables. Huh?! We still ended up with a hat, only because we knew if we didn't get it, who knows if we would even be able to find it again if we went back. This place is a mess. Also, not friendly, and they don't accept cash. So there's that.. if you have patience to dig and rifle through everything, you will probably find some good stuff. They have all the best brands, so it's a shame to see the store as it was. Definitely not repping Hurley, RVCA, etc. the way they should be.

But a sign on the door is the least they can do or an automated voicemail when they randomly decide to step out. It's summer time, I'm visiting from O'ahu, and just wanted to support local and also grab a bikini before the beach. Kaua'i already has limited shops, especially with their 40mph highway it's not ideal to always "go to the next shop" like back home. So this was unfortunate that I drove here for no reason. Also they still have old Covid signs that need to be taken down. Maybe I'll try again next time? Won't bet on it

Their business is just fine, but today discovered a bogus site that likely tries to steal your credit info. Look closely at the URL. The bogus one is crazyshirtsi.com; it looks real, and the items are priced much lower than the real thing; check the return policy. This site says to use the nearest PostNL parcel point. PostNL would be a Dutch carrier; the site resolves without owner name in Whois to a Michigan Ave/Chicago address, with Alabama land line phone. This has been reported to the real Crazy Shirts, and we can hope the site to be shut down soon. Shop well and careful.
