I think the cashier seemed like the owner, he was so nice!! He asked if I wanted a dressing room, and was so great as our cashier. The selection is wide, I think part of it is like clothes from other brands with their label, not sure if it's like "thrifting". And some clothes with just their label. It's all cute! It's a little pricey for the concept, but I don't care. I prefer going to local places and supporting them while I'm on vacation anyways! read more

88 Tees - Interior - Women's Clothing Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Luki was the sweetest! Amazing store with lots of selection! Tons of shirts and tons of cute license plates!

88 Tees is always a must stop whenever we come to Hawaii! If you've watched Terrace House Aloha State, you'll know this spot. It's not easily seen from the main road if you pass quickly since there isn't a large storefront sign, but you'll see a stairway from the sidewalk and you'll go upstairs to get to the shop. I feel like the prices definitely increased after that show got popular, unfortunately for me, but good for them! Still happy to support. There are so many different shelves and tables to look at here. If you don't mind digging through the chaos, you'll find some cute stuff! I always like grabbing a new long sleeve or hoodie here to bring back to California. They have so many different designs and colors, from newborn size all the way up! read more

88 Tees - Women's Clothing Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I remember coming here when I was in High School. It looks different inside for sure and seems bigger than I remember. It still gives that thrift store vibe with way more 88 tees merch. Prices were a little steep for some of the 88 tees vinyl branded tees. The lady gave me the rush vibes and was a little rude when we asked about the bags. We had seen her grab bags from the back so asked if a specific bag was available in a different color, her reply "what you see out there is what we have, that's it" it was notnthe reply but rather the tone of the reply. read more

Awesome place! Very friendly and awesome shirts! Highly recommended! Great selections and great prices

My fiancé's sister bought him clothes from here as a gift previously and recommended this for unique tees. It was an interesting location where you go up the stairs and greeted with desks and shelves of clothes. The quality of clothes and items are really nice and the prints are cute. I actually bought a harness for my fur baby here, which ended up a bit small (a bit of miscalculation on my part when reading the tag) but the item itself was so cute and nice. I loved talking to the owner's family and getting to know their pet Iya too. She is so adorable!!! Highly recommend and also would visit again when I come back to Honolulu! read more

88 Tees - Say hi to Iya!! - Women's Clothing Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

88 Tees is a well-known T-shirt shop that can be said to be a symbol of Hawaii. The iconic character "Yaya" expresses the spirit of "Ohana" and "Aloha" who share happiness with family and friends. The other day, I found an 88 Tees shop on my way to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel on Kuhio Street. I was attracted by the Yaya sign and went inside, and just like the Kalakaua shop, I was greeted by the familiar sight of a mountain of T-shirts. A man who seemed to be the manager was busy folding T-shirts and handling the cash register. He noticed me and spoke to me in a friendly manner. He introduced himself to me and I noticed his name is Jack. I learned that they had gone through a lot of hardships, such as reducing the number of stores due to the COVID-19 pandemic and opening a new store in this location. Still, there were customers constantly coming and going on Kaiolu Street, and it was impressive to see him always busy and moving around by himself. That's because he is a veteran staff member who has served many celebrities and supervised the original T-shirts they make. The Kalakaua store is decorated with photos of celebrities and the owner everywhere, but there were no photos of that kind here. However, the veteran staffer here knew the history of 88 Tees and showed us some photos of famous people on his iPhone. Even though the number of stores has decreased, 88 Tees is still an important Hawaiian business for us locals! I hope that the stores will continue to thrive and attract more customers than ever before. The location is diagonally opposite the Ritz-Carlton, marked by Yaya-chan. Just like the Kalakaua store, please go to this store and have fun! 88Tは、ハワイのシンボルと言っても良いほどの有名なTシャツショップです。その象徴的なキャラクター「YaYa」は家族や友達とハッピーを共有する「Ohara」と「Aloha」の精神を表現して居ます。 先日私はクヒオストリートのリッツカールトンホテルに向かう途中で88Tショップを見つけました。 Yayaちゃんのサインに惹かれて店内に入ってみると、そこはカラカウアショップと同じく沢山のTシャツが山積みのお馴染みの様相が目に飛び込んで来ました。 店長らしき男性が1人でせっせとTシャツを畳んだりレジ対応したりと忙しく動き回って居ました。 彼は私に気付きフレンドリーに声を掛けてくれました。 彼は私に自己紹介をしてくれたので、私は彼がジャックである事を知りました。 そしてコロナ禍の影響で店舗数を減らした事、しかしこのロケーションに新店舗をオープンした経緯など、、、私は色々苦労があった事を理解出来ました。 それでもこのKaiolu streetには引っ切り無しにお客さんが出入りし、常に忙しく彼が1人で動き回って居るのが印象的でした。 それもそのはず、どうやら彼はベテランのスタッフで今までにも幾多にも及ぶ有名人の接客や彼らが作るオリジナルTシャツの監修にも携わったそうです。 カラカウア店には有名人とオーナーのルーキーさんの写真が所狭しと飾られていますが、こちらにはそれらしい写真はありませんでした。 しかしこちらのベテランスタッフは88Tシャツの歴史を知っていて、彼のiPhoneにある有名人との写真を幾つか見せてくれました。 店舗数は減ったとは言え88Tシャツは我々ローカルに取っても大切なハワイのビジネスです！ これからも益々お店が繁盛して今まで以上の集客が出来る様になることを願って止みません。 ロケーションはリッツカールトンの斜め向かいでYayaちゃんが目印です。 カラカウア店同様、こちらの店舗にも行って見てくださいね！ read more

Cute shop with friendly staff and worth a visit. I purchased a pink tank and a great selection of shirts!

Was fortunate enough to come back again & visit. Overall just a fun experience. So many designs on shirts, hoodies & sweatshirts. The store is fun & the employees help make it a very good experience. Arcella (I hope I spelled her name right!) helped me again. Super helpful, friendly & personable. Another lady helped me out as well, didn't catch her name, but also very friendly. read more

My husband and I did a little staycation since we're from Waipahu side and grew up here we don't really find ourselves in Waikiki as to our fellow locals iykyk Waikiki isn't all that of a safe place to be in. Anywho I seen some other reviews and we didn't have any type of racist interactions at all with any of the staff. We're both Filipino and I'm mixed with Hawaiian and Chinese my husband being full Filipino. We were immediately greeted and welcomed and we had very nice small talk with the staff. The shop has TONS of shirts and other things that I found very cute!!! My husband and I were familiar with the shop by watching terrace house lol. We both agreed this shop is a really good stop for tourist. The entrance is enticing enough where you get curious and want to see what's up the stairs. And we both agreed if you do end up spending money here although they offer a small Kamaaina discount it is a bit pricey for shirts. However we bought matching shirts with whiskey the French pup on it (which btw you can see in real life since they bring whiskey to work that little guy is famous) a shirt for our 6 year old which I still think is such a cute shirt!! And a baby long sleeve hoodie onesie for our 10month old. We asked ourselves are we ever going to come again? And tbh probably not since again we're locals and Waikiki isn't much of a hangout place for locals. But for the sake of our staycation we splurged a little. Do we regret it? No not necessarily since we both know that these shirts you can only purchase here in at their shop in Waikiki so it's kinda like a souvenir type of deal. I know it sounds silly but as locals we both know we aren't going to be adventuring Waikiki anytime soon again. Do I recommend stopping by? YES I do!!! Do think the staff is nice? YES I do!!! Do I think you should also purchase something here?? YES I do!! Especially if you have kids idk if it's just the mommy in me but the moms out there once you go in you'll get it!! lol I also didn't realize how many celebrities actually stop by this shop to so I guess you can say they made a name for themselves which is awesome!! Do I think it's a little pricey?!! YES I do but like I said it was a splurge purchase I mean go ahead and treat yo self and you can tell others "you can only get this tee from 88tees your not gonna find it anywhere else on the island" exclusively in Waikiki !!!! They also gave us a free bombucha reusable bag with our purchase which I thought was also cute!! It has there little cute logo on it Basing the 4 stars based on price of the clothing again it is pretty pricey but just tell yourself it's worth it and that the items you bought are super cute it'll make you feel a lot better hahaha cause I mean it isn't a lie besides I guarantee you'll get compliments on your shirts from your friends and family local or not Much love 88tees read more

We love visiting this store every time we're in Waikiki - it never fails to impress! Impressed by the range of clothing and aloha trinkets that keeps improving, although it's a shame that their prices have gone up due to inflation. The shelves can get messy as people dig for the best deal. The staff always bring that laid-back island vibe and greet you with a warm, hang loose attitude! read more

awesome place to come to for souvenirs! employees are nice and friendly. would come here again!

We usually visit O'ahu every year and have shopped at 88 Tees numerous times in the past. We went to shop there today and this was the first time we've met Aracely. Let me tell you, the moment we came up, she was the nicest and so welcoming! She kept checking up on us to see if we needed help finding a size or telling us what designs she thought we'd like. She was the sweetest lady and I really hope we see her again the next we're in O'ahu! Aside from her giving us excellent customer service, the store itself is so cool and we always find something to buy! Love this place! read more

88 Tees - Women's Clothing Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Staff was amazing. Everyone was helpful. I love this shop. Good selection and value. I got a free bag.

This shop is kind of low key. I was in Waikiki in May and Sep 2022--but I didn't realize this was a retailer until my recent trip in Mar2023. "88 Tees" has a wide variety of merchandise: clothing for men, women and children; and accessories, like mugs, key chains, hats. They also collaborate with other local brands--like Zippy's. The point is that 88 Tees designs its own products and owns its own intellectual property. You can buy products from brands like Hurley and Quicksilver anywhere. But 88 Tees is a local business and has been so for more than 35 years. Look for 88 Tees on social media: Facebook, Instagram, Tik-Tok. If your buying souvenirs, why not buy local to demonstrate you've been? read more

This place is nice when you're just trying to find a cool tee shirt that is Hawaiian themed. Even tho I didn't get one I can say that I would buy one in the future. The best part is that they have labubu. They had big to energy,macaron, have a seat, and coke one. There 120 per labubu which is pricey but the counter people where so nice and chatted with me. I might come again!! read more

Wanted to check this place out since I saw it popularized on terrace house! It was exactly how it was portrayed in the show! Lots of shirts everywhere and a decent amount of people too. Avian wasn't there so we couldn't take a picture but a good store if you're into t shirts and different graphics! read more

Amazing staff and a very wide selection of cute T's. Love this place always stop in yearly to pick up a shirt when I'm in Oahu.

Fun t-shirt shop in Waikiki - I found out about it via Terrance House and wanted to check it out when I was in town. It's Waikiki so I recommend walking to the shop, it is located on the 2nd floor so expect stairs. There are TONS of t-shirts, I don't think I looked through everything. Tons of graphic tees, with lots of Hawaiian and Japanese inspiration! It was a great spot to shop for gifts. read more

I am a huge fan of Terrace House so I came here to visit and hopefully run into Avian which I did so that was awesome! But I love the vibe of the store where you just look for clothes and see if you like any. It's like finding that right shirt for you in a storm and you actually might get more than one since you might keep running into clothes you like! read more

If wasn't for the Netflix show Terrance House, I will never know this place exist. It is easy to miss when you walk by, when you see the small sign, you need to go up to the second floor and you will see tons of T-Shirt. The sign listed each short sleeve T-shirt is selling for $26.99, you really need to dig through it to find the design that you like because most T-Shirts are fold up and I guess this is the fun part of it. Go check this please out. read more

This store is my favourite store in Waikiki! Quality and unique place to shop. It is so cute and fun to shop when I come to Waikiki! read more

Unique styles, good prices, and friendly owners. If you are looking for something different, check them out. We got cute hats and T-shirts.

Yes, like everyone else, I visited 88 Tees because I saw Avian on Terrace House (Netflix). I saw her in the store, but I didn't want to bother her, so I went about my souvenir shopping. I saw a couple of Japanese guys who spoke Japanese with her, and she graciously took a photo with them. She seemed very nice. My rating is more about the quality of shirts that are being sold, and the prices they're being sold at. Although I didn't much like having to dig through piles of tshirts to find the designs I liked, I feel like that's more of a personal preference than anything (some people probably like the "treasure hunting" feel). In my humble opinion, I felt like the quality of shirts were... pretty bad. Thin materials or materials that would pill easily. Some prints were off center or ironed on crooked, so just make sure that you inspect the shirts carefully before you buy them. Would I recommend 88 Tees to others? It's a cute shop; if you loved Terrace House and Avian, then it might be worth it for you to pick up a souvenir shirt here. Otherwise, I think you can skip the shop if you're on a really tight schedule. read more

Cute place to get T-shirts or souvenirs for men, women, kids or dogs! If you watched Terrace House, you would definitely recognize this place since one of the girls, Avian, in the Aloha State series owns this shop. The decor is cute and you can find a lot of designs with her logo and cute characters with a character named Yaya. They all have a Hawaiian theme or design. I've bought a few cute shirts and tote bags. Definitely recommend checking them out if you want a unique Hawaiian souvenir and support a local business! read more

Ok. Just average shopping experience. It's a small local brand-successful one too on the main Waikiki strip. A small warehouse in a stuffy dark upstairs loft. The place has plenty character and styles are Japanese influenced. Prices are fair for being I the heart of Waikiki. This is one of those local finds that pay off well if you find something you like. Not big on the helpful shopping experience. You just have to go through the tables and cubbies to see if anything catches your eye. I wasn't able to find anything this time, but that doesn't mean you won't. Go check it out. read more

As a fan of Terrace House, I definitely bookmarked 88 Tees as a stop. It's also very convenient as it's located on the main Waikiki street. We visited twice actually -- the first time just to take a look and finally see what the store is like and the second time is because I wanted a particular hat so we stopped by to get it. During our second visit we actually saw Avian!!! She was super nice and friendly, helped us find the cap we wanted. I was so shy so my boyfriend helped me ask her if she was Avian haha (we were honestly both shocked to see her at the store!!) Definitely a gem to visit -- truly ohana vibes in there PRO TIP: 1. If you are purchasing, make sure to ask them about any promotions. Avian told us if we follow her or the store on Instagram and post, we can get a free t-shirt! 2. The store is kind of hunt for a treasure vibe so if you are looking for something in particular, go on their website and ask one of the friendly staffs to help you find! 3. Even if you are not purchasing just GO and check it out. The store is truly great vibes (sometimes the dogs would run around too super cute and friendly!) read more

1/31/23: Massive selection here, you could literally spend an hour or so just looking, and then another 30 mins separating them into your Yes/No/Maybe piles, and then another hour looking through more shirts to replace the one's you've just discarded to the "no" pile. Great quality, soft shirts, long-lasting print screening is used (unlike the low quality heat transfer method you'd find at those 5 for $20 t-shirt booths). IMO a great souvenir says where it's from (ie: 88 tees, Hawaii, Honolulu, Oahu), and you will find that here! read more
