Super friendly place right next to the USPS office that caught my eye several times as I walked by. They had some really nice rolls of fabric along with some remnants for sale. I had to get some for a project I am working on. I found the prices okay with the people working there being so nice that I felt I had been shopping there for years. Definitely worth while to stop in and check out some of the cool Hawaiian fabric patterns read more

Such a fun unexpected experience shopping in David's store. Such a pleasant experience with conversation and sharing. Can't wait to get back to the mainland to use my new fabrics. read more

David is so kind and friendly! Lots of GORGEOUS fabric! The prices were great, also. A little off the beaten path but oh, so worth it! In fact, I'm headed back before I go back to the mainland. Don't miss this place! read more

(Shopped 08/19/24 MO @ 12:30pm): Would this Hawaiian business have the fabric I was looking for!? In my quest to explore the various cuisine scenes as well as other businesses throughout O'ahu's Windward side (east shore of the island) after a recent acquisition of an investment/private-use property, the helpful Yelp app led me to Hawaiian Fabric as a potential place to find something to tie newly-installed curtains. Whenever the windows were open to allow for the cool tradewinds in, the curtains uncontrollably flapped and whipped around which eventually got annoying and distracting. Was I able to find a solution in this fabric shop filled with Hawaiian prints!? PURCHASE 20 Cut Strips Gray Fabric ($5.00): This was probably just a "toss-out" quote which was fine with me. This color of fabric nearly matched the gray in the curtains I would use them with, so this worked out perfectly! Nothing fancy, but they did the job! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=XTn3kR-4ZGFPqUIZlQTXkw SERVICE I was warmly greeted by a middle-aged gentleman who asked how he could help me. I asked if he had any ribbons or ties I could use or our window curtains. Although he said he didn't, he suggested cutting 24" strips of fabric similar to the sample I brought as reference, which was an ingenious idea! He quickly cut twenty strips, I paid and left with a sense of accomplishment - mahalo! PARKING (FREE) It appeared they shared a very tiny parking lot with a couple of businesses, so I found plenty of street parking along the main residential road Martha St. while the cross street on Campbell Ave. was another good option - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A simple small shop https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=9XO1eXST2TGN1oyYA2AtDQ covered top to bottom with well-organized rolls of color fabrics mainly of Hawaiian prints but truthfully anything with a tropical feel. A sample or two of quilts and quilt kits https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=y4dOJFgBFwGtlqnFzDLXhw were on display. There was a lone workstation where the gentleman did work. A decent amount of natural lighting came in through the front door and windows while electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs nor any background music. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=5huLIDQAeiCp69iBST5k5w ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I honestly didn't have much expectations of Hawaiian Fabric because I went in flying blind to what I was specifically searching for. Having said that, my experience was a positive one because I found a solution https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=9xzzq3IColNdI13QB5Pjpg at a low expense. I didn't quilt, sew, and my needle pulling thread skills were non-existent. However, if these activities and hobbies were up your alley, by all means check this place out! Maybe you could sew me a killer aloha shirt! And, it was always a pleasure to support small local mom & pop businesses like this one. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience [except for what was used to open the respective accounts] was around $5.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, although I used a different card, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS read more

Kind and helpful staff. Great selection for all my sewing needs! Had to call like 5 stores to find black tulle, I was so relieved to hear they had it. And did I mention the prices are keeping me alive in this economy read more

I visited this store while on vacation and ended up with a few fabrics for future quilt projects. Don't let the size of this store fool you, the selection of fabrics is great, with 100% cotton and cotton & rayon/polyester blends available. You can also find charm packs/bundles, quilt patterns, and fat quarters. Prices are labeled on the shelves and are reasonably priced. The owner is nice and was helpful. They do ship nationally if you are interested. I kept my purchase small, but I will be ordering more in the future. read more

This review is for an online order only. I was looking to make more masks and wanted to find some Hawaiian fabric. My friend recommended them so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the selection and prices. I was able to order several yards and received my order within two weeks. (There was a slight delay with my order as they had it marked it as in store pickup but David was quick to resolve the mix up.) I opened my package today and found this beautiful drawing on the inner envelope. Love it!!! Thank you for the beautiful fabric and great customer service. Can't wait to visit next time I'm in Hawaii! read more

What a delightful experience ! The owner of the store was so friendly and knowledgeable about his fabrics and the designs. The prices were great and he shipped them to my home. I will definitely be returning on my next trip to Hawaii!!! read more

We were there yesterday, friendly owner, very reasonable prices. I will probably order from his site once we are back in WI.

So lucky to have found this perfect fabric shop in my area! Although the store is small, they always have a great wide selection of fabrics with good prices to choose from. The shop owner is always kind and helpful, this is my go to fabric shop! read more

After doing my research on all of the fabric stores in the Honolulu area that I could find on Yelp, I chose Hawaiian fabrics in the Kapahulu neighborhood, somewhere near the Rainbow Drive-In. It's a very small warehouse-style location. But it's filled with a lot a lot of beautiful and quality Hawaiian-style cottons. It's run by the owner, Dave, and he's extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. Encouraging you to order by mail if you're visiting from the mainland. But being there is certainly worth the visit. Prices are very reasonable. I bought a few things to use in my slow stitching project while I was visiting and loved having the feel of the quality fabric in my hands. Slow stitching doesn't require larges quantities of fabric. It's small "handwork," but Dave was just as happy cutting me 1/3 yd lengths (of which I bought a few) than if I was buying 20 yards. Very obliging and amenable. He also explained that all the fabric stores on the island cooperate with each other in that each sort of specializes in one type of Hawaiian fabric. One in Asian themes, one in children's themes, etc. So they are happy to recommend one to the other. That's great! Quilters will love it this place. Sew-people will love it for shirt motifs. Definitely shop here. read more

Small shop. Good selection, fiat prices of Hawaiian designed fabric in various material. Definitely worth visiting!

I have been a loyal customer of Hawaiian Fabric for a few years now! They carry a large selection and variety of fabrics and notions and their customer service is outstanding! I live in Washington state and there is nowhere to buy Hawaiian and Asian print fabrics like those available at Hawaiian Fabric (HF). I have checked out other online fabric stores in Hawaii and I haven't found any that can compare to HF. Not only in selection but the prices and shipping are very reasonable, and they ship FAST! I highly recommend shopping here for your Hawaiian/Asian fabric needs! Many Mahalos to David for his personal attention and caring! read more

He is such a nice person. Stated that he even ships if i forgot something. He was incredibly polite and respectful. He helped me find everything I wanted/ needed. He even waived some change because i only had big bills. Such a delight. read more

Seriously, go here! Great little shop. Sells predominantly wholesale online, but you are able to buy at a great price in the store. Quality fabric. Had to keep reminding myself that fabric is heavy in luggage for the trip home, otherwise, I would have bought more. The owner, Dave, is nice to chat with and helpful. We got lucky and got one of three parking spots in front of the store. read more

If you are a serious quilter or garment maker, you will appreciate this small shop with a carefully curated collection of printed fabrics designed in Honolulu & printed in Japan, Korea or Indonesia. What a relief to not have an allergic reaction to a fabric store! I bought one piece of cotton & one piece of cotton barkcloth while on a holiday (shop is totally walkable from Waikiki, located in the Kapahulu neighbourhood but off the main drag not far from Bailey's Aloha Shirts). I washed & dried these two pieces & they came out of the dryer virtually wrinkle free, so very satisfied with the quality at such a reasonable price, even with conversion to Canadian dollars. Thank you to Dave the owner. read more

if you are looking for a shop that sells authentically designed Hawaiian fabrics, designed by Hawaiians on the island and an owner that is friendly, knowledgeable and happy to visit, do not miss this shop. I'm thrilled with the fabrics i bought and so happy I can also order on line. a must for quilters visiting the area. read more

Had no idea what my Mom needed other than she sent me for an errand to bring back "squares" for her quilt project. Cutest place. Organized. Clean. Dave was super helpful, patient, knowledgeable and accommodating. I FT my Mom and showed her the shop and options Dave and I picked out for her. He was spot on with the choices he recommended. Since I don't have a clue with quilting, Dave listened to my Mom's questions, helped with measurements, etc. My daughter wanted to pick up additional squares for a quilt and Dave was so kind to let her pick any fabric and cut them down to size. We spent over an hour talking and picking the best combinations of squares while he respectfully let my daughter keep her personal style. Thanks Dave!! read more

David is a dream to work with! I am not a sewer and I was buying for my mom on the mainland. I liked that he had fat quarters already cut and packaged. I liked that he had cute little kits with pre.cut fabric and patterns. read more

Nice folks, great selection for such a small store! We found the perfect fabric for our drapes and got a great deal.

This is one of those little hidden gems in the Kapahulu area. Hence their name "Hawaiian Fabric" they stock a ton of Hawaiian style fabric. Unfortunately they didn't have what I was looking for but they pointed me in the right direction. If you are looking for good fabric at good prices, come on down and check them out. FYI I read somewhere that if you use your spouse's fabric scissors to cut anything else but fabric, it is grounds for divorce. #FunnyNotFunny read more

I live in NYC and take an annual vacation to Hawaii. I always shop at Hawaiian Fabric! Not only does this little shop have a terrific selection of fabrics at reasonable prices, but the owner David is knowledgeable and welcoming. My husband loves to talk sports with him while I shop. One of my favorite parts of vacation is knowing that I'm guaranteed to come home with pretty fabric from this local gem! If you are a sewing hobbyist and you want to add to your memories of Hawaii, shop at Hawaiian Fabric! read more

This store specializes in and almost exclusively carries Hawaiian prints. They carry a large assortment of prints in a large selection of colours. I had trouble deciding which fabrics I wanted so I purchased a bunch and will decide what to do with it later. David, the store owner was friendly, helpful, and patient. The store is set back in a corner of a small parking lot, so look for the sign saying "Fabric" on the east side of Martha street. The store is located in a slightly sketchy-looking area, but when you enter the store, everything is neat, clean, and well organized. David gave me 10% discount for finding him on Yelp which was a bonus, since fabric was already reasonably priced. I left a happy customer, excited for the projects to come. If you are a crafter, quilter, or someone who likes to sew, this is a place to check out if you're ever in Honolulu. read more

I am a quilter and have many ggrandchildren, so was anxious to replace my dwindled stash of hawaiian fabric while visiting my brother, so was impressed when I saw this shop on Yelp. It was very difficult to find because it is a tiny shop back off the street. Well it was all i expected although was low on stock, still I loaded up what I could. The owner was super nice and helpful, gave me his card with the email site I could order from in the future and he would have it mailed. I made sure my family on the island was made aware of this shop, so they could also shop there. I now live in Oregon and discovered he had lived there before, so we reminisced. You will not be disappointed when visiting this fabric shop. Mahalo, David read more

Went in after seeing they were close to where we live. Had a sign that said one customer in store. Was greeted by owner who was super friendly . Clean interior and chill atmosphere. Tons of Hawaiian print fabrics. They also make custom aloha shirts to order as well. Definitely would recommend for anyone in need of fabric with Hawaiian print. read more

Popped in for some fabric for a craft project. The man who helped me was kind and professional. The selection of fabric was great. They even make custom aloha shirts for all ages. I will have to return and get my kids matching aloha shirts :) I highly recommends this store for all your Hawaiian fabric needs. read more

I went to the gentleman's store and found a large quantity of quality cotton fabric in a dazzling array of patterns and colors! These were at half the price I usually pay and he ships. When I returned home to Georgia from my cruise the package was waiting for me!!! Yea!!!!!! read more

Deserves 10 stars. The quality of the fabric here is incredibly high! David is the nicest human and I can't wait to buy more fabric from him online.I have not found anything close to the patterns or quality of fabric on mainland. I will always recommend them. An absolute joy of a time. read more

LOVE this small shop and its owner. There is an excellent selection of lovely Hawaiian prints. Dave helped me mix and match prints for a home project. If you are a quilter, you will definitely want to stop here. There are lots of pre-cut fat quarters to choose from. My husband ordered a custom made shirt. They'll also make scrubs and some other things from fabric of your choice (shirt sizes run large). He is completely happy with the excellent workmanship and quick delivery! This is a one-man shop, so call to make sure he'll be there. Also, a little hard to find. No big sign here. But if you have the address, just park the car and walk up. read more

What a wonderful time shopping in this store. What makes a business is not so much the inventory, but the employees. Kahlea is the sister to the owner. An absolute delight to chat with and gather information on what makes a real aloha shirt vs a knock off Hawaiian shirt.... the fabric was less than it would cost on the mainland, but the inventory was wayyyyyy more. Thank you Kahlea for making our time there so enjoyable! read more
