I especially adored the kids lunch boxes they had and definitely would've gotten one for my niece if she wasn't years away from needing one. There's a pretty big range for the price. For some, I was surprised they were more inexpensive than they looked. Others, my jaw dropped at the price tag. I ended up finding one shirt I really liked while browsing. Unfortunately, the size I needed wasn't available. It's definitely worth a stop and one of the better clothing shops in the area.

She proceeded to ignore me and my husband, until my husband went outside to wait for me allowing me time to enjoy shopping, as he was getting angry at the way I was being ignored. I had several items and put everything back as I was not going to support a business that did not welcome and treat local people with the same friendliness, welcome and Aloha she was showing tourists. Went across the street to Beachside Boutique and Salt & Sea that had no problems welcoming all shoppers and spent my money supporting local businesses that made me feel welcome and valued.

In terms of style, this place is one of my fave that I visited on the island. They have a lot of…read morecute, unique items that you don't get to see anywhere else. I found a couple things I liked. Unfortunately, they were all overpriced in my opinion. While the quality is nice, I couldn't justify spending $80 before tax on a plain white shirt. If it was more affordable, I would've bought multiple items from them. I would've given them 4 stars, but they lost one because one of the employees kept watching me the entire time I browsed the store. She would literally crane her neck around people to keep watching me. It was very uncomfortable.

This is the place you need to get your Kauai souvenirs from. I'll just cut to the chase, because…read morethis is it. My reckoning as follows. Similar to Kauai, I live in a state that banks big on tourism. Similar to Kauai, New Mexico is a place that doesn't sell out (define that as you may) and has a lot of cultural soul, historic pride and sly personality, as opposed to our neighboring southwestern states. Thus, the Locals know that our desert island is simply authentic. While the average tourist brings home a suitcase of dreamcatchers (most likely made in China) and moccasins (made in Minnesota), the best goods are produced by local artists. While I won't say By The Sea is a purveyor of strictly local finds, if you spend some time digging, you'll dig what you find around here. Shirts and hats are simply cooler than anything I'd seen anywhere else. I can't define cool, it just is, you'll know it when you see it. High quality products produced in America. Funny jabs and smart, proud merch. Just go. My wife got a baseball cap that looks straight outta the 80's, and I'm not ashamed to note that I remember that decade.

The clothing prices are fairly expensive, but the quality of the fabric for both the Tori Richards and Pineapples pieces is very good. Great pricing on sterling silver jewelry, although I cannot speak to the value on the local pearls. The clothing had a nice range of sizes, although was somewhat lacking in women's size medium for some styles. I visited the shop three times over the course of a week-long stay nearby (my indecisive husband was picking out a shirt), and I did not experience the poor service highlighted in other reviews. Each time, the clerk welcomed us and was ready to answer any questions. I also got a good, informative overview on the local pearls and why their selection has some imperfections from one of the clerks while my husband was trying on shirts, without feeling pressured to buy jewelry.

Went here last week because I wanted to shop for a dress. The woman manning the store was…read moredefinitely not an example of Hawaii's aloha culture. She didn't even bother greeting me or my daughter and she was just in front of us as we walked in. But I noticed that she was welcoming other customers who came in the store! (Things that make you wonder!) I asked her a question about the clothes designer and she didn't even bother to look me in the eye when she responded. Instead she made it a point to talk to another customer ! At that point I was done. I work in the travel industry and good customer service is number one for me! I provide it and I expect it , especially if you work in a major tourist destination where you can ruin someone's day by just being plain rude and unwelcoming. Anyway I left and went to Ayatar, the clothes boutique across from this store. The sales person at Ayatar was friendly and accommodating so I bought $500 worth of stuff from her because I always reward good customer service.
