Karli is a color specialist and the only one I trust with my hair and is honest about what should be done. She takes pride in her work and is extremely knowledgeable in the color process as well as all details of the beauty industry. I have witnessed that Karli Rose Designs and Loft 145 treat all their customers with the same interest and concern to provide the best service for that individual. I highly recommend Karli as well as Marc @ Loft 145 where the atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the service excellent. But remember, you need to make an appointment.

Pua shared the story behind Miffy with us, and later shared some Hawaiian cultural history with us. She was very proud of her Hawaiian culture and rightfully so. The store was bright and inviting. I initially left without Miffy, but had to come back and pick up an adorable Miffy keyring to remind me of the kind interaction we had with Ms. Pe'a. She was a delight and a great representative of her business and culture.

Most of the fabrics were modal blends and linen. The prints were lovely. I tried on and purchased a beautiful purple print swing dress. It is pretty and comfortable. I asked if it is ever possible to have an item you love made in another fabric or if a different size can be made. The answer was yes--they can do the custom orders. The quality, service, and value are all there. Instead of mass-produced fast fashion, you can get locally-made fun clothes right on Maui. I look forward to visiting again and again.

They're so so kind. I was excited to visit the storefront and was not disappointed. There's lots of parking, the store is open and bright. There's a clearance section, but I love that it appears to also house the patterns for the clothes! When I was shopping, I'm pretty sure the owner was also cutting fabric. So cool to see the clothes being made! I tried on a dress, which the owner pointed out was a little shorter than the others. She offered to make another one if I wanted a longer length. I thought that was such a nice gesture!

For example, they have the Pineapple collection as well as the Mermaid collection. I got one of the rings from the Pineapple collection and I absolutely love it!

I love supporting small businesses like this one, especially when their products are so beautiful and really showcase elements of the Hawaiian islands and tropical life.
