I walked in and out looking around and all i got from a few vendors was a simple hello if that, Which made me feel rather unwelcome. Then i went around to the back and found Trudy's and was immediately greeted with warm and cheery "hello, how are you?" She talked to me about how everything in her shop is made on the island and asked if i wanted to see anything in particular. She was so helpful she pointed out a pair of "Rare Treasures" earrings that she thought i would like and i loved them! I told her I'll take them! I simply adore my new earrings and Couldn't be happier with my purchase. I'm so glad it rained and i will definitely be going back to support the local businesses and not that cheap made in china imitation stuff.

I feel bad saying anything negative about JA businesses because I am JA myself but the joint was not great at all. It was dingy and felt dirty and in disarray. The place needs an update and the vibe, which was like my grandmas closet (if my grandma actually had a closet), did not encourage me to browse and buy. If you're coming from Oahu, better to just wait to buy fabric back home. If you're coming from a place that has no aloha fabric, I would recommend going to Hilo to Discount Fabrics instead.

We received such a warm welcome from Terri & Carl that we immediately felt like we knew what the Aloha Spirit was about! It was a great way to start our vacation. You truly have so many choices of where to shop when you come to the Big Island but after walking into Sunset Traders you won't need or want to shop anywhere else! They helped us find everything we needed without ever making us feel pressured to shop. They gave us our space but were close enough when we had questions. This store has everything! I wish I had taken more photos but I was just so excited bc who wants to waste time shopping at a bunch of different stores on vacation when they can find it all in one place? The variety ranged from the cute Christmas ornaments with Santa & turtles all the way to handmade, beautiful one of a kind jewelry. Sunset Traders has items for every budget too! Stop in & grab a few postcards or buy a quality shirt that won't fall apart after a few washes. I also think it's a great idea to support local small business owners! Chain stores are great but will you find unique, one of a kind jewelry? Nope! We left with exactly what we needed, smiles on our faces & great advice on local beaches / restaurants that we should try out from Terri & Carl! We not only enjoyed shopping in this great store but the view out the front door was beautiful! It is also conveniently located next door to shaved ice! So, shop, take photos of the ocean right outside the front door & then grab dessert next door. Mahalo to Terri & Carl!

What made my first visit so special was finding such a unique piece -- a ray, for me symbolizing one of the best free dives of my life -- and meeting the young craftsman who had carved it. We talked for quite a while and I loved hearing him share stories of his creative life and work.

So much better than going home with a t-shirt! I found a piece of pottery with Hawaiian flowers painted and textured on it by a local potter on the island. I am going to add to my collection.

I'd recommend stopping--it's like an art museum and gift shop combined!

I had a very negative experience with Big Island Living and would caution doing business with this…read morebusiness and owner, Courtney. About a month ago, I ordered two furniture pieces and paid a 50% deposit, with the understanding I would pay the remaining balance when the items arrived. While I was in the store, I witnessed another customer ask about a kamaʻāina discount and paying cash to avoid taxes, and the salesperson agreed. I then asked if I could do the same. The salesperson told me that with a Hawaiʻi driver's license, I qualified for a kamaʻāina discount. The salesperson offered to refund my deposit so I could pay cash after the discount was applied when the furniture arrived, and I agreed. Later, I was contacted by the owner (Courtney), who told me they do not offer a kamaʻāina discount and that paying cash was the "discount." That is not what was explained to me in-store. When I asked that the agreement made by their salesperson be honored, it was refused. Instead, I was repeatedly told that the kamaʻāina discount (which they dont offer!!) referred to tax savings, which was never how it had been presented at the time of purchase. I questioned why I needed a Hawaii Drivers License then? Anyone can pay cash! During that call, Courtney ended the conversation after stating she would not honor what had been communicated in-store and had nothing further to discuss. Because of how this situation was handled, I chose not to move forward with the transaction. Potential customers should be wary of what felt like bait-and-switch terms and unethical business practices. What is communicated at the point of sale may not be what is ultimately honored. This experience felt misleading, reflected poor business practices, and completely eroded my trust.
