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!

Cutest little shop in Hilo! Definitely a must stop if you are spending the day on that side of the…read moreisland!

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

Love this shop every time I come to Hilo I stop in to get something. We are always greeted with…read moreAloha and talk story with the staff.

Super cute store! I…read morecame here specifically to purchase a gift for a friend. Free parking out front is always convenient and appreciated. We were warmly greeted upon entering and had a wonderful time browsing all the merchandise for sale. It didn't take me long to find the perfect blouse for my friend. The fabric was nice quality, the design was fitting, and best of all, she liked the lehua graphic! In addition to the shirt, I also bought one of their automobile license plate holders because I thought it had a great message, "Aloha...live it and give it." Especially on our road ways folks, be nice. It only takes but a few seconds :)

Hometown Honey was such a cute little find! A friend of mine visited a few days ago and recommended…read morethis boutique to me. It's a quaint shop but has a variety of clothing (& sizes) to choose from. I got the cutest romper in the sales rack for under $25, a STEAL! Definitely worth checking it out!

Only open Thursday - Saturday so be sure to stop by on one of those days. The girls in the shop are so sweet and helpful, we always feel welcome every time we go!

Sign to this unique clothing store. If you looking for glam or just a cool breeze type outfit than…read morethis is your place. Family owned and operated by Lilly. Even got to meet the mother who came into help today. If you have little ones (girls) they will feel right at home here too. Even possibly a princess with all the cute little purses and stuffed animal. If you in Hilo you should give this place a shot like we did 10 years ago. They even have a couch for those husband, boyfriend or friends that don't like to shop

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!

This review is for Bernie at Discount Fabric Warehouse in Hilo. I would give her 10 stars! She has…read morehelped me so many times over the years, and every single time she is consistently kind, patient, and genuinely helpful. She is always smiling when I see her, and she has such a calm, sweet nature that immediately makes you feel comfortable asking questions. When I come in with a project, Bernie doesn't just point me in a direction - she actually brainstorms with me, offers suggestions, and helps me think through what would be most helpful. Even when I change my mind (more than once ), she never makes me feel rushed or annoying. Her patience is something I truly appreciate. I always look for Bernie when I come in because I know she is willing to help and will do so with kindness every single time. Honestly, if it weren't for her, I would probably just go to Walmart - but Bernie is the reason I keep coming back here instead. A lot of customer service these days feels rushed or impersonal, but Bernie is different. She consistently takes the time to be thoughtful, speaks kindly, and makes the experience enjoyable. She is truly an asset to this store, and management should be very proud to have her. Mahalo Bernie! Also for the store itself, I do want to add that I do like the prices I think they're fair, the selection is decent, however I wish people would stop buying out all the palaka. Please put a limit on that if there isn't one yet.

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.
