No refunds or exchanges due to Covid 19  May 2025!

Love the products and the businesses represented here. But they have no signage that all sales are final. The receipt message seemed outdated bc it said due to COVID 19 and the misspellings on the it. When I asked if that was just an old message bc I had hoped to exchange some items I was told COVID was still around and on the rise. They should be more transparent when ringing up purchases that all sales are final. And fix the grammar and typos on their receipt!

Shopping in Kaneohe, Oahu, Hawaii... On the second level of Windward Mall... You will find a special store that is destination worthy! It's called: I Mana Ka Ōiwi... We Are The Descendants... This shop will be here for a limited time because it's seasonal. The vendors are small business owners. They're all in one place for your shopping convenience! I was drawn into I Mana Ka Ōiwi because I am fascinated by authentic Hawaiian items. For example, I've always wanted a Ni'ihau shell necklace. They are rare and expensive. I saw some earrings and other jewelry in the display case... But I was afraid to ask... Haha! I also looked at the Lauhala hats. I tried to win a topless papale (hat) on Instagram, but... Alas... You cannot win them all. Aunty Ipo, the creator of the hats, approached me and encouraged me to try them on. She showed me various heights, widths, and styles. I really liked the one that her daughter had made. Aunty said that she would give me a discount and add an artificial plumeria flower. Sold. Tiamana was the efficient, friendly cashier. He was so professional and knowledgeable! He processed the transaction flawlessly. I saw him again the next day when I returned to the store to show Aunty how I paired her hat with a Wai'ono wrap. She was really happy! Tiamana saw me looking at the Ni'ihau shell jewelry again. He knew that I really wanted the Ni'ihau shell necklace and let me try one on. He was able to tell me the pros and cons of the various lengths and styles. Ahhh... I think I will be returning for one soon... I put one on hold so that I could dream about it and want it more... LOL! Note: I also like the t-shirts with Hawaiian phrases... And the soaps, tote bags, and other accessories for gifts for friends on the mainland!

Absolutely love your store. You're Aloha spirit and energy was just so cool! I'm a local girl born and raised in Hawaii live in California now, but came back to visit my dad and came to the mall to go shopping with my sister. Ran into your store because it looks super cool and ended up buying a bunch of stuff your, essential oils candles, purse !!! Everything was SO beautifully placed, and your spirit was awesome! Was interested in getting some more Pikake oil sent to me here in California. Don't see a website to order anyway I could have you ship me some! Loving aloha Nicole. 925-595-5586 -call or text Doggeewuver@yahoo.com

This place... one of my favs in Windward Mall. Finally a place that has so many Hawaiian Vendors with a variety of local Hawaiian and Polynesian attire ranging from casual to elegant. Not to mention the jewelry, hats, towels and anything local you can think of. Not to mention the staff was full of Aloha as we entered and continued to shop. My friends and I all have different taste. So it's nice to have a place we can all find something we like. The kicker... I saw my Niece, Tatelyn's Hawaiian Hats. Gets better.... My daughter's pics next to the hats that I took for her line of hats. Go figure. Like I said, good stuff there. Check it out

The phone number says to text message if you need immediate assistance. Whoever messaged me was wonderful in giving me the store updated hours. She also sent me pictures of the item I was in search of. On top of that she also gave me another store I could find the item I was in search of. When I arrived at the store 4 staff members went looking for more artificial haku leis, because they are placed in different parts of the store. I truly felt the aloha. As I was leaving the cashier gave me well wishes for the event I needed the lei for.

One of my favorite store in Windward Mall. Definitely a one stop shop if you're looking for…read moresportswear/accessories. I have to say I stop in at least every other week to check out what's new and there's always something that catches my eye. As Philadelphia native, this store has brought back some nostalgia of my days in PA with the pieces they carry. I'm also big on supporting local businesses so I love coming here to support our local economy. I will come back time and time again because it's such a good positive atmosphere. Also really nice to be able to watch the games on the two tv screens in store. 10/10 I always recommend this store!

Shopping at Windward Mall in Kaneohe, Hawaii…read more.. When I go to the movies at Windward Mall on Tuesdays (when it's $6 per ticket at Regal Theater), I pass by this store and notice that it has NFL (National Football League) items. Island Sportswear is located on the upper level of Windward Mall, between Regal Theater and Glow Putt. The name of the shop is misleading. It doesn't have Aloha shirts nor muumuus. Instead, it provides customers with quality NFL Team gear. Are you a Cowboys or Rams fan? How about them 49ers and the Steelers? What about the Patriots and the Vikings? Some of my coworkers are loyal to the Seahawks. They wear their jerseys on game day to work and are very proud. I wonder if they got their attire from Island Sportswear? The location is so convenient and accessible! Besides t-shirts, sweatshirts, and collared shirts, Island Sportswear has koozies, flags, lanyards, key rings, blankets, caps, pop sockets, and even earrings! Wow! I'm ready to gift a lot of this merchandise to my family and friends! This store makes shopping so easy! Everything is organized well and displayed neatly!

Daughter & I decided we'd spend the day in Kailua and support the local stores. We came upon Sugar…read moreSugar in Kailua and enjoyed our shopping experience very much. Adrienne had just opened the shop for about 30 minutes and we happened to walk in and were the only customers at that time. Adrienne was very happy to help us as she offered her assistance before we even asked for help. We looked around at all their clothing, jewelry, magnets, coasters, puzzles, hair clips, games, and so much more. We already shop at the Kahala, Pearlridge & Ala Moana stores so we're well aware of their merch. Daughter & I grabbed a bunch of clothes to try on as they have these little private makeshift dressing rooms available. The store is so inviting as they have so many cute and colorful merch to select from. Even if you're not there for the clothes, they have a bunch of trinkets and cards that you'll find something to your liking to purchase. The prices are fairly reasonable for what they have. There were these cute hair clips with floral designs on a wood base attached to the plastic hair clips that was really cute. It sold for $22. It'll make a nice gift for almost any gal with long hair. There's street parking in front but I'm sure you can park in the big parking structure or huge lot across the street. We did and we didn't have any problems on our return. Adrienne was so upbeat, friendly and nice that she makes you want to be her friend for life. We'll be back to support local and dive into their new merch that they pretty much bring out often.

Cute place with local touches - I like to support small business! If you get a chance def goread more

Shopping in Chinatown, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. My mom was on the hunt for Year of the Dragon shirts for my sister in Colorado, my nephew, and my nieces. We went to Walmart, Don Quijote, Dillingham Shirt Outlet, and Maunakea Street in Chinatown. She found shirts at Jessica's Jewelryand Gifts, but she didn't get a shirt for my nephew's girlfriend. In a panic, mom called me to go back to Jessica's. They were sold out. Only XL gray shirts were left. I entered Maunakea Marketplace, where I had dropped her off the other day, but she didn't walk far enough in... to get to YaFangShi Fashion. On the day before Lunar New Year, I saw many shirts of various colors and different designs hanging outside a shop! Inside, the clothes were neatly folded, and the dresses were hanging for better viewing. OMG... It was like t-shirt heaven! The shop was called YaFangShi Fashion. The friendly owner introduced herself and said that her name was Lian and that she's been here for 24 years! I had passed by often... and even bought a lavender-colored Cony umbrella, but didn't know the name of the shop. Looking around, Lian even had dresses, tops, jackets, footwear, accessories, and pants! I got a navy blue, medium-sized Year of the Dragon shirt for my nephew's girlfriend and gave it to mom to give to her on Lunar New Year. Everyone was happy! Yay! Happy Lunar New Year of the Wood Dragon!

Do you dream of having a vacation cottage with a beachy Hawaiian theme with a touch vintage…read moreflare...well Muse Kailua has that in the tiniest shop in Kailua. As a shell lover there was so much here that I loved that I've never seen anywhere else. Everything from clothing to jewelry, accessories, cards, trinkets and the cutest decor. I fell in love with a whale plate but went with a cup which can double as a bowl that I plan to use as a gift for a whale lover...gosh it's so cute!!! I absolutely love finding this somewhat hidden gem that's filled with so much selective treasures with the loveliest staff so patient and kind to compliment every choice you make. Support local, support small and follow them on Instagram @muse_kailua and their online shop https://www.musekailua.com and see the calm this Kailua boutique has to offer. Thank you!

I have many dream homes. My first dream home is a 3-story haunted Victorian Mansion with a large…read morewrap-around porch and wrought-iron fence outside. It would also have a large forest in the back with a small babbling stream running through it. The atmosphere would be a dark, dreary, foggy and rainy place. If you think I'm kidding, I am not. My second dream home would be another 3-story non-haunted Victorian Mansion with an airy porch with flowers all over the place, and the interior would be decorated with stuff from this store: Muse Kailua. I know non-haunted Victorian Mansions do not appear very oceany but who cares! I love the stuff in here and you could probably incorporate a lot of their stuff with your current decor. My current decor is shabby messiness with a hodge-podge of clutter, mess, papers strewn about, Halloween decorations out all-year-long, paper receipts piling up in boxes, dried hibiscus seed pods cluttering up the counter and a pile of (fake) skeletons on the living room floor. No, again I am not kidding. Aside from this foolish decor in my house, the stuff in here is the stuff I dream about: a clean, uncluttered home, airy windows with white billowy curtains, home smelling like fresh lemons and decor from Muse Kaiula: seashells, floral plates, tropical oceany goodness, whimsical lovely items and dream-like girlyness. If you are into Victorian, girliness, girly girl, mermaids, ocean, tropical, and ooh-la-la this is your place, and you're in luck if you're on the mainland because now they have their online store open!! Return factor: OF COURSE are you kidding??? Coz I'm not.

I ended up buying a burgundy colored shirt that says Local Motion on it in small letters. I remember my husband used to buy me stickers from the store. I love this brand. They sell a lot of cute clothing especially some Hello kitty stuff like the skateboard I posted. So cool. So worth the splurge and definitely check out their sale items. Customer service here was nice. The lady behind the counter explained that there are no returns on sales items because it's final clearance. Store was clean inside and everything was organized. Very nice. I would definitely come back again to check out more stuff.

Shopping in Kaneohe, Hawaii…read more.. If you need outdoor gear such as coolers, surfboards, and YETIs, come to Windward Mall and take a look at Local Motion. Located on the upper level, next to T&C Surf Designs, Local Motion has the nicest employees and a great selection of name brands like: Hurley Billabong O'Neil Quiksilver There are a lot of t-shirts, shorts, flip flops, tote bags, towels, surf accessories, etc. to choose from! I had purchased some shirts last year and the size wasn't right. The normal exchange policy is within 90 days. However, they let me get a different size and I gladly paid the difference! Thanks for being so understanding and pleasant! That's why I enjoy the environment here! The helpful staff and quality products are spot on!

Thank you to Julia from the Mahina store in Kailua for reaching out and making things right. I…read moretruly appreciate your understanding and willingness to help resolve this. As someone who also works in hospitality, I know how much it means when someone takes the time to personally reach out and assist. It goes a long way, and I really value that level of care. As a customer, I'll also be more mindful of any posted signage regarding return policies moving forward. Thank you again, Julia. I sincerely appreciate you.

I'm being a little generous with the three stars because I've been a longtime customer of Mahina…read moreand have shopped at several of their locations around the island. I normally love the brand and have always enjoyed shopping there. That being said, I was disappointed with the customer service during this past Saturdays visit. I've worked in customer service for almost 20 years, and one of the most basic expectations is simply acknowledging a customer when they walk in whether that's a quick greeting, asking if they need help, or letting them know you're available if they need anything. I was the only customer in the store for more than five minutes, and two employees saw me come in but neither greeted me or approached me the entire time. I don't expect anyone to hover while I shop, but a simple "Hi, welcome in" goes a long way and is just basic customer service. I did end up purchasing something because it was on sale and, like I said, I genuinely like Mahina. I just hope management reminds the sales associates how important it is to acknowledge and welcome customers who take the time to come into the store. A small gesture can make a big difference in the overall shopping experience.
