Found a beautiful, unique opihi print dress and matching aloha shirt for my significant other. He's not into "matchy matchy" wear, but I was surprised he was willing to wear the aloha shirt because he actually liked the print! Who knew?!! And the staff gave us kamaaina discount without us even asking! Woo hoo! So we got great value and great aloha wear. Definitely will visit on my next trip to Hilo!

The store is beautiful and they're doing some gift with purchase for every hundred dollars you spend up to $300 (free beach bag tote). There's nothing else like this on the strip so you must stop here if you're in Hilo town for a long time or just a good time.

I'm originally from O'ahu and was excited to see Alohiwais sign when my sister and I were walking…read moredown the row of stores. We decided to go in to check it out since their sign still said open. Mind you, I always go to Ho'omau Market and always buy stuff from their booth back home on O'ahu. I also just wanted to say that I sometimes see the owners at Ho'omau and they're SO nice and so inviting, girls working there are also very nice. But this one girl today, omg. So there were two girls on 6/9/26 at a couple of minutes before 4. One of the two girls were okay, but the other... let me tell you. I picked something up to try on because I have had my eye on this style of dress online for the longest time and was excited to see it in person. I was going wait for them to come to O'ahu but thought since I'm on vacation, I thought maybe I wouldn't have to wait to get it. Alohiwai is actually one of the first stores I always choose being a VIP at Ho'omau. I was in the dressing room trying on the one dress I took in, LOVED it, decided I was going to make a last minute purchase, and was almost about to come out, when I hear the other girl of the two say, "hey.. so we close at 4 and it's 4:04. So you kinda need to wrap it up" I didn't say anything because I was actually taken aback. I didn't get to see what she looked like, but my sister did. This girl worker, btw, was wearing an off the shoulder white top with curly hair and has tattoos on her shoulders 6/9/26 @ 4:04pm (& yes, I know the exact time to the minute since this worker was in a rush to get home). This worker lacked SO much professional ediquette. In the moment, I was in shock to have been talked to that way from a brand I actually REALLY loved and wanted to go back inside the store, but thought writing a review would be better. (couldn't if I wanted to because they were 4 minutes past closing time) Overall, I'm disappointed and just thought that that first experience IN STORE was a sour one. I ended up not buying anything in store because I felt rushed with the store being closed for 4 minutes. The unprofessional worker was assisting another customer and was being so helpful and professional with her, so maybe she took out her frustrations of wanting to go home right at 4:00pm on the dot with me? Not sure. But I took my business down to all the other stores down the row with better customer service. This experience was so negative for me that I'm questioning taking my business for Ho'omau this weekend when I get back home to O'ahu. Always love shopping at their booth, but for sure NEVER coming back to their home location.

Review #13 for 2020…read more Aunty Zennie Sawyer of Haku Designs has been making AMAZING clothing and accessories from her original screen prints for several decades. All of her designs are based on things from the āina such as kalo, kupukupu, lauae, liko, ōhia lehua, and more. She primarily prints women's clothing and accessories (v-neck shirts, tank tops, scarves, etc), but she also does a limited stock of men's clothing as well. Last year I provided Aunty Zennie with a collared black shirt and requested a liko print, and I was super stoked with how it came out. Every time I wear the shirt, I get lots of compliments, and I tell people it's one of a kind! She recently did a copper colored print of kalo on a dark gray shirt for me, and I'm stoked to wear it once the stay-at-home order is lifted. Aunty Zennie mostly does small craft fairs, but she also posts her stock to Instagram and Facebook and can be contacted on those platforms for orders. She is an amazing kupuna and actively lives out aloha āina. IG: https://instagram.com/zennie.sawyer?igshid=1vn0q9ajzxl1w FB: https://www.facebook.com/zenaida.sawyer
