Shopping in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii... Driving through Waikiki several times this past month, I couldn't help but notice the name of this shop: kawaii kawaii It means "cute cute" in Japanese! All things cute must be here, right? Located on the right side of Kalakaua Avenue, before Beach Walk (street), kawaii kawaii is before the Tommy Bahama Store/Restaurant. Of course, parking is challenging in Waikiki. There are metered street parking stalls nearby... Just be patient (or quick)! Service was pleasant and helpful. I asked if the bunny visor came in adult sizes - unfortunately, no... In the meantime, other customers entered and were greeted right away! I asked about the Ala Moana location - yes, it's there. Gosh - everything was cute! The cozy, air conditioned shop was filled with happiness! The keychains, purses, jewelry, plushies, hats, etc. I wanted too many things! Luckily, I left my wallet in the car. Haha! I'll return to this Waikiki location because it's much better than the Ala Moana kiosk!

"Real crystal" bracelet sold at kawaii kawaii for $25
Michelle T.

Bought this "real crystal" bracelet for $25 as it paired well with my skin tone and silver accents are quite rare for women's "stone" jewelry but immediately suspected that it came from a fast fashion site. I struck up a conversation with the cashier working that day who, to her credit, was pleasant enough, but I'd recommend visitors to stay away from stores similar to this and support actual jewelry designers/creators using genuine materials. Understand that everyone has to earn a living in some way or another but at least do better with this false advertising

A hat $20 after less than 24 hours , wear it once.
Xia J.

Horrible product quality. We bought 4 items, 2 of them were broken after 24hours. We probably only used for 2 hours max. Regular use. Went back asking for a replacement. Was told " what are you expecting, they are cheap".

You can wear these with a snazzy business or leisure suit, or island shirt and shorts, clubbing or shopping it looks great either way. I was fortunate enough to wander into this lovely little store full of nothing but... Panama hats! Plus some feathers, a few handbags and accessories, but mostly hats, hats, and more hats. Plus a couple lovely and personable assistants, Amy and Ray, both knowledgeable and helpful suggesting which ones looked good on me, and the subtle differences between one style and another. Who knew there were so many different styles of Panama hat? The store is arranged horizontally kind of like a fancy bar is vertically. Nothing is inexpensive here, the hundreds of hats on display start at about $200 near the entrance and reach $600 to $900 by the back of the store. They're all handmade in the same way, but the more expensive ones have a tighter and more even weave, more intricate weave patterns and designs, maybe a more refined shape. Plus there's a small glass case with the Louis Tres and Hennessy Paradis of hats, like the alcohol those hats are $1,000 and up. Unlike those big luxury brands these are the real deal, all handmade in Ecuador (where Panama hats are made) by a network of artisan craftspeople, seemingly related to a small company named Truffaux that has similar shops in Australia. You're in luxury territory the moment you step in but they don't cater to the ultra high end collector and antique hats that can go for many thousands of dollars. So it's hats for millionaires not billionaires, or just people who want a hat they can treasure. I splurged for a Montecristo hat, one of the nicest, and it makes me feel like a million to wear it and read up on all about the history, lore, and origin of these hats.

Monday, 12/01/25 2:53pm…read more I had the worst experience with an employee at Lids third floor Ala Moana Shopping Center. First, no greeting when I walked in and the music she was playing on the boombox was very loud. As I looked at the 49rs hats I asked her kindly which was the newest model and she points at one that I know is an old style and said "this one." Then she continues to work on the sewing machine. As I made my decision I told her politely I was ready to be rung up. No response and she continued threading the sewing machine. She finally comes over to the register with an attitude so I asked her what did I do wrong to make her treat me the way she did as a customer: She lashed out at me and said I'm the one with the attitude and said she doesn't want to sell me the two hats I had decided to buy. She then told me to get out of the store. I asked to speak to the store manager and she rudely said she was the store manager. With her attitude I didn't believe she was the manager so I went to the back store room door and knocked hoping a store manager or another employee would come out. Unfortunately she was the only one in the store at the time. After much thought I assumed she was having a bad day or I caught her at the worst possible time of the day for her. I walked up to her and apologized and asked if we could start all over and asked her to wring up my merchandise. She refused twice but finally after much thought she did. She was trying very hard not to get upset and I finally got a little smile from her at the end of the transaction. I later went to the Lids Locker Room where I always receive excellent customer service from the entire staff. I told them about my experience upstairs and they were very apologetic. They told me the woman who I was talking about was the assistant manager and not the store manager. They even asked what can they do to make things right. Now this is what you call customer service! I also shop at Lids mall level. The manager there has been there for many years and is always friendly and helpful. Had I shopped at Lids mall level or Lids Locker Room from the beginning I wouldn't have experienced this bad service.

Who do you cheer for…read more.. I'm sure whatever the team they have it here for you to express your spirit from head to toes as I was surprised that it wasn't just Lids you can find here but all sorts of shirts and accessories as well. First thing I walked in to see a display table filled with various hot items and of course it was all about the Dodgers of various item but I liked the fun and cute shirt of Ohtani with his name in kanji is cool but as I browsed around I noticed as tiny collegiate section and the Oregon Ducks will always be a special place in my heart though wished they had more selections. There was a friendly staff Nick who was so nice as I enjoyed browsing around was very nice and knowledgeable making it nice to shop for various items. They're located in Ala Moana Center street level Makai (ocean side) near GNC. Thank you!

Patagonia. Heard the name. Seen people wear its t-shirts. Actually thought it was for the place in…read moreArgentina. Oh! It's a brand. And we have a store here in Hawaii too--located along Ward Ave between Waimanu and Kawaiahao Street with plenty of unshaded parking. The inside is very open, clean, cool, and comfortable. Everything was quite organized and each section was spacious. The first time I came here I couldn't really understand how most of the clothes aren't even for Hawaii weather..... or Hawaii pockets.... unless you travel to many places to do winter sports and activities. Funny enough, I received a gift card for Pantagonia shortly after my first visit. Now that I need to actually buy something. I focused on the casual, running/training, ocean activity areas. Needless to say, everything was quite expensive in my opinion. The quality is there and the clothes do feel similar to other brands. Is it worth THAT much though? My co-worker says this place is like the Lululemon for outdoors. Sounds about right. Overall, this store was really nice, cool, and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Everything really organized. It's quite niche. I guess if I need some ice climbing gear, I'll know where to go. Eventually I got a pair of shorts. Regular price is $135. Thankful for the gift card cause I'm not on THAT level...yet.

Selection was slightly bigger here if you were looking for location specific stuff (Honolulu and Hawaii merch). It's also much bigger as well. Staff was super friendly as far as giving us advice on on sizing and pull sizes in the back. We left with 5 or 6 more shirts from here so to us, it's definitely worth checking out if you're big on location specific stuff.

Before our trip here, was somewhat familiar with the brand Lucy Love (similar to Roxy but less popular and priced a little higher too). There were a couple things that were really cute from the Lucy Love brand; dresses were about $50, tanks were about $40 (so a little higher than the beach brands). I also saw cute Honolua dresses too, priced at around $40. My husband saw a couple things (a hat, an aloha shirt) that he liked as well. Cute stuff. Better selection than T & C (sparse). It's a rectangle shaped store, that carries mens and womens clothing, along with some footwear. Seems to appeal to shoppers in the area, since the location is in the heart of Waikiki. There were several other customers besides us. The sales people are very nice and greet you right away with a smile- she also told us about the sale. Nice setup- lots of merchandise but it didn't feel cramped though. I still miss the Aloha Tower store because that's where their extreme markdowns ended up (slight damage, but an easy fix for me, since I am handy/crafty like that).
