Worst holiday return policy on earth. Cute stuff but overpriced. Worst customer service ever. Do you really want me to go into detail after your ridiculous response? You call a 10-day return policy, a policy to accommodate for the holidays? Dec 21-31? I got the gift on Dec 31st. Also, as your employee handed back the item I was trying to return, she dropped it and it broke. No apology or anything. You can look in your trash can if you really need any further explanation. read more

They love following me around like I'm going to steal something. Not a good feeling. I asked about an artist who did one of the necklaces and the clerk knew nothing about the creator of the piece. read more

I can always find the most unique gift for that hard to shop for person. Great staff with great finds!

I've come to Magnolia before for their Jellycat collection. Today was such a disappointing experience. I walked in and went to go look at the jellycat display. I wasn't there long before I noticed the lady that was at the register was suddenly in the corner very close to me staring at me while I was browsing. It's such an uncomfortable, upsetting experience being profiled. I got what I wanted and quickly left. One star for the cashier who was friendlier. read more

This charming art store has a delightful variety of items, offering a little bit of everything for every creative need.

Many different souvenirs to choose from. For instance, there were wooden coasters, ceramic coasters, regular coasters. Got some items and would have purchased more if we had more room in our luggage. read more

No matter how many times I came this store to look around. The customer service is never there. Not even a "Welcome " or a " thank you ". Just a cold stare as I walk inside. They always have this stare like I'm gonna steal something. I hope they be a bit more enthusiastic with customers coming in no matter they're looking around or planning to buy something. read more

They don't mark the prices on the products. The woman presumably the owner rang me up as I walked away I noticed the price on an item. Ridiculously priced wooden honey dipper for $9.99. Tried to return it. Nope store credit or exchange only. Sorry I'm not local and you really should mark the prices on the products you sell. Obviously I am not going to let this store keep my store credit until the next time I'm on island. Seems like a shop that gets little traction, judging by lack of reviews and people shopping. I ended up looking around and selected something else. Paid the difference and made sure to ask her to wrap it. Terrible customer service. When you buy something glass and breakable it should be a given the sales person wraps it for you. read more

I haven't been to Kahala Mall in a long time and happened to come across Magnolia. I remember this store to sell vintage/antique items but those types of products are no longer being sold here. Instead you'll find a slightly different vibe and direction from previous. Magnolia seems to be headed towards a more local vibe and featuring art from local artist such as Heather Brown. In my opinion, it seems a little confusing right now since I'm not sure it's such a "touristy spot" to shop at or is it still dabbling in household goods/furniture? In the back of the store there is a table with chairs that appears to be used for in-store workshops classes. I love that in a store - something that doubles in workshops and not just retail. Turns out, Magnolia is the only distributor on island that sells Annie Sloan Chalk paint. If you're at a loss for what that is, you're just not clued in to that language (yet). It's one of the latest craze in DIY painting projects. I'm thrilled that not only does Magnolia sell them in different colors but that they also host classes that teach you every step in the process. Seems I just missed the February class but was told to check on the website for further postings. So if Annie Sloan Chalk Paint doesn't draw you into this store I'm not sure what else will. Like I said, it seems disjointed right now (product selections and niche). It's a mish-mash of sorts and unlike clothing boutiques you know they sell clothes, etc. Magnolia appears to be in transition. You'd probably come here for chalk paint workshops if that was your thing but other than that, it's hard to pinpoint what exactly is their specialty. Customer service was nill and void. The elderly woman at the counter was preoccupied with something other than sales on the floor. I asked her about the classes and she pretty much brushed me off and told me to look on the website. Oh well, maybe she was having a bad day. read more

This store has a lot of items to add some beauty to your spaces: island inspired art prints and crafts from local artists, children's things, and unique gifts. The customer service was also great. Everyone so friendly and low-key. When I found a print I liked by Shar Tuiasoa, the salesperson asked if I wanted to get a frame and brought out a cute, white distressed frame that matched the print and happened to be on sale. She wrapped it all padding, gift wrap, and bow after I said it was a gift. read more

I went to 3 different businesses looking for a specific Surfer Towel and this store had it. Great selection and quality Hawaii made items. I'm a fan ^_^ read more

The Heather Brown pieces in the window caught my eye, so I dragged my daughter into this store with me ... discovered some new artists and goggled at all the cute stuff. It's an eclectic range of products, from local honey to specialty paints to children's clothing - I could have spent an hour in here just checking out everything. Will be back for gifts for friends off island! read more

Love this artistic boutique for its amazing decor and quality products. Plus owner Maggie is friendly and her staff are very helpful. Loving my Kai lotions. Highly recommend visiting Magnolia the next time you're at Kahala Mall. Mahalo! read more

Discovered a new watercolor artist, originally from Honolulu, but now living in Arizona, Gail Alger! She does beautiful Hawaiian flora such as niu (coconut), ulu (breadfruit), white ginger, plumeria, cymbidium orchid, etc. Her paintings are beautiful, delicate and realistic! And her prices are reasonable! Wish I could have bought all her paintings... Go to Magnolia and check out all the interesting things they have in their store! Woo hoo! read more

I walked into this store today thinking I could find a nice birthday gift for my wife. Instead of a greeting - like at any other art boutique store - the older lady with short hair just gave me a look of disgust, perhaps because I was in my work clothes and not "tourist" clothes. How very "Pretty Woman" of you. The business next door got my business instead. You're welcome! read more

We stopped here to look around bcuz it was soo eye catching from the outside. Cute lil shop with lots of local products Tolentino honey, seasoning from kailua, jams, art work, cool trinkets and more. Alot to look thru make sure you have time and no one nagging you. read more

Maggie is an amazing person that really care and has a beautiful smile all the products in there are absolutely beautiful and she likes to support local businesses which is a plus! Love me some Magnolia Hawaii read more

Entered this shop today. They have nice things but nothing that interested me to buy. Browsed around and none of the two clerks behind their sales counter approached me to say hi or offer assistance. They were both talking among themselves. Only as I walked past their counter to leave, one asked if I was doing alright. Pretty sad huh. read more

Updating my review. After my original post the owner contacted me directly and apologized for what happened. She allowed the exchange to be good for the month and gave me her number to reach out to her. When going back into the store the sales person was very friendly and the exchange was not a problem. I very much appreciate the owner reaching out to me to remedy the issue. Taking the time and effort to do that says a lot about a business and deserves our patronage. read more

I Love this store!!! I just moved here from Portland a year before Magnolia opened and was looking for some beautiful gift items that where not Hawaiian. This is not easy. When I walked in the store I felt like I was back in my old hood the Pearl district. This store is full of wonderful home decor and unique gifts. I'm also into beautiful food and there is a extensive variety not found at whole foods, theses are treasures ! LOVE IT! read more

I love this place. They have really unique items. I could move into the store, I love the displays and the smell of everything. I want my whole house to look like this place. I figure if I keep buying one piece at a time, eventually I will get there! the owner Maggie is great and will go out of her way to help you find gifts for picky people. read more

I felt compelled to write this as a small business owner myself. I strive to meet great customer service in my company and expect nothing less from the people I buy gods from. Magnolia is my wife's favorite store for its WONDERFUL collection of antiques and unique items, and it's mine for its professionalism, prompt service, and easy going help. I would suggest this store to anyone with fine taste and appreciation for good people and nice things! read more

Horrible customer service. Went there yesterday. Bought a present for my husband. When I asked for gift wrapping the sales person said she is too busy to wrap it.... there was 4 people in the store including me and my daughter. She also said something how she has to manage her time. Rude! Not returning to this one. read more

Just moved into a new condo recently and was in desperate need of some decor. Found Magnolia as I was walking through Kahala Mall and was very stoked on the selection of Imports that they had! Customer service was fantastic and I was able to finally put the finishing touches on my new place.. really feels like home now! Many Mahalos to the friendly staff there! read more

Wikipedia says: Magnolia.. named after French botanist Pierre Magnol. Magnolia is an ancient genus. Having evolved before bees appeared... Aaahhhh as I walk along the shade in the Garden of Eden the scent of sweet fragrant blossoms.. Oh my God I'm in Magnolia's in Kahala Mall. I guess I was transported for a moment. Reminds me of my shopping in little quaint European style villages and small towns throughout the U.S. south as well as my favorite shop in South Beach, Florida Restoration Hardware, but in a much more intimate setting. Thank you Maggie for touching such a wonderful memory and bringing it home. Always I remain one your most appreciative customers! read more

Magnolia offers a nice change from all of the modern furniture you see available these days. The store is full of beautiful antiques and vintage furniture that would work nicely into any type of space. Not only do they offer great furniture and trinkets, but they also have a great selection of artisan olive oils in their boutique. These olive oils are delicious and impossible to find anywhere else on the island. Be sure to stop in here next time you're in Kahala Mall! read more

I love this place! They have everything from Heather Brown art to Kai Fragrance. If I need a gift for someone, this is the first place I come too. They usually have something for the person I'm shopping for. The staff is pleasant and knowledgeable about the products they carry. One of the sales girl even had me try the different types of balsamic vinegar they carry. Needless to say I bought one and it was delicious :) read more

Love this store from the extensive line of Olivina products to the exotic olive oils, vinegars and salts to the eclectic selection of gift items I always find what I need at this place. read more

Magnolia is a breath of fresh air in the midst of the mall madness. I'm not adequately educated to differentiate between olive oils, but the staff walked me through samples and taught me the subtle differences utnil I found a favorite. The olive oil and antique furnishings may be what you came in for, but the soaps and jewelry selection are hard to resist! read more

Magnolia is a great place to put up some fun and unique items. I purchased a number of Christmas gifts at the store this past December. All who received them were thrilled and asked where I got the items. It is a must see while at Kahala Mall. read more

I love to go Magnolia. It reminds me to europe. If you go to europe, you would know what I mean. Very tasteful and beautiful. From decorative Items to gifts from modern to classic. the finest selection of olive oil. I grew up with olive oil and have been dreaming of a good bottle of fine oil. Magnolia is the only place in the Oahu, where I could get a very flavorful olive oil with low acidity. Most of the olive oil with low acidity missing the flavor. I tried every shop and finally I found it in Magnolia. I just love shopping there and use any excuse to go there. read more

Magnolia is my go to place when I need a gift that is special. The selection they have is fabulous, unusual, classy and something that the recipient of the gift will treasure. Along with beautiful antiques and floral displays, the store juste says "welcome" as you look at it from the outside, and the welcome from the staff is always cheerful. They also have a fabulous selection of high-end olive oils which they will gladly give you a tasting of to make sure you get the one you want. read more

Miscellaneous gift shop with unique and quality items. Good for last minute gifts or simple browsing. Something for most everyone.

The first thing I notice when I walk into Magnolia is the wonderful scents. It's so clean and welcoming. I love the Olive Oil lotion, i think thats the source of the great smell. I purchsed the prettiest little butterfly pill-box case for my vitamins. I enjoy checking out their ever changing dining set. Prices are reasonable and the quality (of the items) is excellent. read more

This is a wonderful store with excellent food goodies, gift items, furniture and jewelry. A delight to the senses to browse through and something in every price range!

I love this place! It's has fine taste and a variety of goods from all over europe.. I am surprised that Lynn P. had such a horrible experience, as I have always had a pleasant experience there with the nice ladies that work their. I dont think that Magnolia is a competitor with Whole Foods, so that is odd that one would compare the two! read more

Magnolia ~ The store I have been wishing for in Hawaii. This shop offers a delightful assortment of lovely gifts, furniture, jewelry and of course olive oils. I love to browse the unique offerings no where else found in Hawaii. I feel as though I have been transported to a boutique on the mainland or Europe. A great find! read more

Magnolia is the perfect store for home decor and imported goods. The antique furniture imported from Europe is hand selected by the owner so each piece is unique! I just can't get enough of the fig & walnut jam and I love how there are samples all the time. The interior decorator does a great job of giving the store a glamourous look. The flower arrangements are to die for and every time a new tea set comes in I want to buy it. Even their little gifts like wine openers and pens are absolutely beautiful must-haves! read more
