I first fell in love with Kealopiko years ago at the Merrie Monarch craft fair, and ever since,…read morethis Molokaʻi-born brand has held a special place in my heart. Their online drops are legendary--beautiful, meaningful designs rooted in Hawaiian culture--but blink and you'll miss them. I've lost out more times than I can count, so stepping into their charming little yellow cottages on Monsarrat Avenue felt like a dream come true. The shop is small but thoughtfully curated, with just one of each size available--so every piece feels extra special. There are a few parking spots right out front (a gift in itself on Monsarrat!), and the whole experience feels intimate and intentional. From the hand-printed fabrics to the cultural storytelling woven into every design, Kealopiko is more than a clothing brand--it's a celebration of place, language, and identity. Super adorbs and totally worth the visit.

This cute little Monserrat shop is kind of hard to spot if you're speeding down Monserrat, but if…read moreyou go a little slow, you'll spot the yellow house looking shop with a couple parking spots in front. I saw the reviews of others saying that the service isn't super friendly. I get it. I live with some pretty angry Hawaiians and I get that it's hard to be happy all the time living here and working in an area filled with tourists. The few times I've been here, service has been a mixed bag. But they all get the job done. They'll usually try to give you a new item (instead of the display items) if they have any in stock. I think they are card only. Ofc the most difficult thing about kealopiko is how exclusive it is. They make their clothes in small batches and hand print the material. It's good quality items and honestly less expensive than some other locally owned stores, so I like shopping here. It's just sometimes hard to get your hands on things. I'll definitely be back. I try to follow them on Instagram so that I can head to the store when they do a drop. It was definitely easier when I lived in town.

When I came in Friday, there was a temporary sign saying 9am. So I left and came back. The clothes remind me of Rainbows on the mainland. Very Similar. I found several cute outfits. Pricing was a little higher but it's Hawaii.

I'd say that 90% of the time I leave with a shopping bag. Usually the red tag accessories are 75% off compared to other locations which are 50% off or none at all during the week. As for customer service, I'm usually greeted, checked on, and have no problem getting into a fitting room. Since this is a small location, the selection isn't too great, but really it's actually not that bad, which in my opinion is a good thing for my wallet. Since it's affordable clothing, it does need a little extra caution when washing and drying. After a few good uses, it's already wearing out. But can't beat the price and the everyday basics! Parking can be an issue if you don't frequent this area as much, then honestly I wouldn't even bother with that hassle. (Just pay the little difference in sales price at another location.)

The vibe of the whole shop is so nice and very organized making browsing so easy and dangerously tempting as I found myself selecting several items and finding out that some were actually on sale as well...ohhh love a sale! The staff is very nice and helpful to point out other items as well shopping here is a great place for yourself or to find that unique item for gifting. Thank you!

We were drawn in by all of the colors, varieties of merchandise, and quality of goods. SoHa Living has several locations. This store is known for home decor, home furnishings, and souvenirs.

Staff were busy with customers, so we really didn't interact with anyone. It's a great place to browse and purchase gifts!

Aloha! As many times…read moreas I have window shopped at Salvage Public at South Shore Market throughout the years, it wasn't until I saw Hōkūpa'a, Nāpali, and another staff (I hope you can forgive me for not asking for your name) at their pop-up location in Hilo. The Merrie Monarch vibes must have kicked in and I had to finally pop that cherry. I initially went with my hula family and used that time to soak everything in. The next day I went back alone to purchase a few items I couldn't stop thinking about. Both Nāpali and Hōkūpa'a hyped me up during my visit and all items I tried on was sold on the spot. Countless hugs and mahalo were exchanged during my encounter with them. Again, I had to go in a third time just to mahalo your (business) ʻohana during my trip to Hilo! Just about a week later I figured I would "window shop" again during my lunch break at South Shore Market and I was able to catch up with Hōkūpa'a. Then after some time of being educated about the items at the store I was sold again - resulting in me purchasing even more items than I did in Hilo! More hugs and mahalo were shared that day. I can't thank Nāpali a me Hōkūpa'a and the rest of the Salvage Public ʻohana enough for your continued legendary service every time I visit.

I don't know how to rate this place because I haven't been able to get in to check it out. On their…read morewebsite it says they're open daily at 10am. Right after church, we drove from town to Kailua specifically for this shop. Our daughter wants a gold bangle bracelet with shells. Saw that there's a Black Friday sale still on so we took the drive over the Pali to check it out! Got there, there's writing on the door that they'll open at 11. By 11am, still no one there. So we decided to go next door to SoHo Keiki. There's plenty of employees who were willing to help and we found what we were looking for. Discount wasn't as good, but hey, they were open and had what we were looking for. I understand it can be harsh giving 1 star to a pace I haven't been inside in, but we drove all the way over here specifically for this place. If they were going to be closed, it would've been acceptable if there was a sign that said it.

I'm so salty for the beach…read more.. This shop gets me into the beach vibe mode as they're just so much bright and vibrant items here to literally get you beach ready from head to toes. Located in Kailua Shopping Center this newbie is a fun place to get that and so more like a water bottle with their shop name, a tote that's says Vacay is my kinda vibe and the cites shell prints on a tee and swim wear really got me smiling, I just love the selections they have here. My only deal is the ladies who could care less as I certainly don't fit into that thong or shopper they probably are targeting for as there was zero peep from them no hi or hello through my browsing experience and I was interested in a few items but have decided not to sadly as it was all lovely and reasonably priced. Left feeing a bit salty and it's not from the beach.
