They have an uncountable number of dresses and shirts for all sizes and genders, and it's easy to find a matching set (dress for her, shirt for me) with identical prints, as my wife insisted on purchasing before attending a luau the following night. And the prices are surprisingly reasonable, with a adult dress, adult shirt, and toddler shirt/shorts combo (for our little one on the way!) ringing up around $70 bucks! It's easy to support this local, family-owned establishment, thanks to its incredible selection and affordable prices. Mahalo!

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.

The guy told me $35. * One of my sisters (I was at the art show with my 2 sisters, my daughter, and our husbands), also asked how much the women v-necks hanging on the rack were, and the guy also told her $35. * My sister bought a small size and paid the $35. * I was unsure if the size that I wanted, so the guy was nice enough to let me try on the v-neck in the restroom since I like my v-necks loose. * I ended up liking the M size and I didn't have my wallet with me so I asked my husband to pay the guy. * Once I came home to California, I looked at the receipt and the guy charged my husband $45 ($10 more than I was quoted)! * I called and spoke to the T shirt guy once I looked at the receipt. .I told him that he overcharged me because he charged me $45, not $35. *I told him, that the guy whom helped me told us $35 for the women's v neck, and even charged my sister only $35! * The guy told me than the guy misspoke, or he misspoke, and "under" charged your sister because he should have charged your sister $45 for the v-neck so your sister got a deal. He went in to say that the regular t-shirts were $35 *I told him that it's like bait & switch situation and that's not right. * I told him then your person is mis- representing you and it's not fair. * He said he should collect $10 From his guy since he undercharged my sister. * I told him I don't even pay $45 for an HIC (Hawaiian Island Creation) T-shirt. He said we are local company/artist and don't do mass production. * I told him that your guy told us $35 and so I would like a reimburse of $10. He told me what don't you understand! *He said there was a sign on the rack that said $45 and he told me that he put them up himself! * I said no there was not a sign over the women's shirts that were hanging on the rack so that's why we asked! * I just double checked with my sister and daughter, and they told me there was NO Sign on the rack, above the rack, and no purchase price on the v-necks on the rack! * He said feel free to return it for a refund. I told him that by the time I spend the money to return it, I'm losing more money, because I live in California. * He again said well I don't know why you don't understand. I told him ok if you don't want to work with me, I will leave it at that, and I'll just have to leave a bad review for you, I said thank you and hung up. * I thought I was doing a good thing by buying from the locals. It's only $10 but I feel that this guy took advantage of the situation. It's the principle that I stand for! From: A former Kama'aina of Oahu.

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

Best vintage aloha shirt selection in Hilo…read more I didn't expect much from the casual storefront with emphasis on kids and women's clothes, but to my pleasant surprise I discovered the most carefully curated selection of designer vintage aloha shirts on the street. I went into all the vintage shops on that block, and Stella's place had the most prime assortment of men's Manuheali'i, Reyn Spooner, Tori Richard, and Sig Zane aloha shirts. Shirts were fairly priced according to rarity. I found 6 I wanted but rationed myself to 3: a long sleeved Manuheali'i, a short sleeved Manuheali'i in Christmas red, and a Reyn Spooner. Woman owner said Stella is no longer with us, but she is Stella's daughter. I appreciated that she was willing to give an opinion on each shirt as I tried them on. Pricing may be negotiable on multiple purchases? I just paid the marked price on my 3 selections since it seemed reasonable. Only one small changing stall so you have to wait your turn; a second changing room would be a nice improvement.

There were items under the Christmas tree that were on sale, so I grabbed some of those. The owner Napua knows all of the companies whose products she sells, and while I was visiting, an aunty who makes lauhala products came in. Such a delight! I picked up some fruit gels, lotions, chili pepper water/sauce, toffee, soap, and even an adorable pair of earrings made from recycled materials shaped like the Big Island. Prices were reasonable, and the owner is Native Hawaiian. Nalani Farm Store is tucked away behind KTA and the farmers market, but is easily findable using any map app. I'll be back!
