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!

Located right in the front of downtown Hilo with plenty of parking is this lovely boutique that has…read morethe best items you can ever want for Aloha Resortwear. Because we were here for Merrie Monarch weekend. They were incredibly well staffed and had a great selection of items but of course their limited pieces were almost sold out by the time we got there. 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.

The material and sewing are top-notch. The shirts are one size larger than average brand, so my co-workers who normally wear x-large will fit large, and my son who normally wears a large fit the medium. I used to go to the downtown store with a co-worker but it is easier to order online. There are more sizes and designs on-line, and shipment is super fast!

Shopping in Hilo Town, Hawaii…read more.. I remember the name of this store... I was here decades ago when I was active with the Jaycees (Junior Chamber of Commerce). We would have meetings on the Big Island every so often. After our gatherings, we'd roam around the town! This store still has amusing gifts, practical items, and cute stuff! It has postcards, jewelry, t-shirts, plushies, baby items, children's toys, Aloha shirts, soaps, lotions, books, Hello Kitty merchandise, tote bags, greeting cards, and more! Service is very friendly! The nice lady at the cash register asked me about my Shohei Ohtani shirt... LOL! Note: this store didn't have air conditioning... shucks! However, there's free street parking all around the area!

She didn't have to do all this, so I would consider this going completely above and beyond!

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

They carry all the standard surf brands with great selection for men and women. We come for the accessories like their bags, belts, hats, etc. and they have great variety.

This is probably the only boutique shop in Hilo. I came here last in December 2009 while visiting…read morehome for the holidays. My mom's friend owns this place. She's really sweet. I'm giving this place 2 stars... because although they have a good variety of styles and things from clothes, jewerly and bags that you can't find in Hilo... the prices are high! So high that you're probably getting ripped off! Maybe rent is high. The quality of my bracelet from here was horrible. They don't have alot of size small, many of the sizes are large. All the things I wanted was in size large. My mom spent $15 on a bracelet (that probably could be purchased at a regular chain department store for a couple bucks), it fell into peices & the stones fell off when I took it out of the bag to try it on at home. Blah! My mom spent over $40 on a plain stylish jacket, which you could also probably get for half the price at a department store, but I love it so it's okay. Also, not to mention $20 for a bracelet. Gorgeous, but probably worth half the price. The point is... the prices are high and maybe not worth what you get!? Meaning there's no bargin here. 1 star for fashion options in Hilo. Hilo needs places like these... when I lived in Hilo, I would save myself to shop when I travel... Hilo has no selection. 1 star for cute packaging and the fact that Hello Kitty items are sold here. Because my mom knows the owner and she's a sweetie... I hate to give such a low review but even my mom was disappointed when I told her my bracelet fell apart when I tried it on after purchasing it, I couldn't even enjoy it. Parking is free. If you're in the area or in Hilo and need something nice and fashionable to wear to dinner or a special event, stop by Divas and see what they have and if you're willing to fork up the cash for it... if you're size is available. My mom probably supports this store because she knows the owner and there's no other boutiques to shop at in town. As for me, I'm always down for shopping, but I rather save myself to shop on Oahu or on the mainland... or better yet, the INTERNET if you're stuck in Hilo!
