Specialties
Magnolia Hawaii is a thoughtfully curated home, gift, and art gallery showcasing original works and finely made goods with a strong emphasis on Hawaiʻi-based artists and makers. We specialize in original artwork, art prints, jewelry, distinctive home décor, and meaningful gifts that balance beauty, quality, and approachability.
Our collection is intentionally eclectic yet refined—designed for customers who want something personal and well made, not mass-produced or generic. From first-time art buyers to seasoned collectors, Magnolia offers a welcoming environment that makes discovering and living with art feel accessible rather than intimidating.
Magnolia is also known for carrying one of Hawaiʻi’s strongest selections of Jellycat plush, making us a go-to destination for elevated gifts for children and adults alike.
History
Established in 2010.
Founded by Honolulu attorney Maggie Parks, Magnolia Hawaii grew out of a lifelong appreciation for art, design, and beautifully made objects. Years of travel throughout Europe deepened her admiration for fine art, antiques, and the everyday elegance found in thoughtfully curated spaces.
Magnolia was created as a creative counterbalance to her legal practice—a place to bring together meaningful artwork, distinctive home pieces, and thoughtful gifts, while supporting local artists and makers. Today, Magnolia reflects that original vision: a carefully curated gallery and boutique where quality, storytelling, and approachability come first.
Meet the Business Owner: Maggie P.
I’m Maggie Parks, founder and owner of Magnolia Hawaii. What began in 2010 as a planned sabbatical from my legal practice quickly evolved into a lasting career shift and a business I am deeply proud of.
Magnolia allows me to combine my love of business, travel, and the art of everyday living into a thoughtfully run gallery and boutique that supports local artists, values quality over quantity, and prioritizes meaningful customer experience. Over the years, the most rewarding part of building Magnolia has been the relationships—working alongside dedicated team members, collaborating with talented artists, and welcoming customers who return again and again.
Outside the shop, I balance running the business with family life and a hands-on, creative lifestyle that includes gardening, DIY projects, jewelry making, and outdoor pursuits such as hiking and paddling.
