    The designs keep bringing you back into this place! Gorgeous colors, patterns and culturally significant designs. Prices can be steep for some items and reasonable for others. Service is always great and attentive here. Great selection of clothes, jackets, tops, dresses and men's wear.

    Free tickets to the Hula Bowl at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii... My friend, Kuuipo, tagged me on Instagram for a contest to win 4 tickets to see the last football game of the college season. I didn't think I'd win... but... I did! I got a message from Manaola HAWAII to pick up the tickets TODAY. I was on my way to my mom's house for Lunar New Year dinner, so I had to take a detour to Ala Moana Shopping Center... haha! [Loosely translated: Mana = magical power. Ola = life] LOCATION: using Rena G.'s tip on the Yelp app, she directed me to Center Stage - by Big Island Candies. Wow...there was a big crowd outside because the shop was in the process of being blessed for the New Year of the Golden Rat. A Kung Fu Club was performing the traditional Lion Dance. Luckily, I had a red envelope (li see) in my purse so I could feed one of the lions! How exciting! I wasn't able to shop this time, so I'm looking forward to returning and getting a dress. The traditional Hawaiian patterns on the material have special meanings. The styles are contemporary and look comfortable and modern. If you look on Facebook and/or Instagram, the photos use the natural beauty of our islands as a backdrop. The ocean and mountains accentuate the clothing that the local models are wearing. Besides clothing, there were tote bags, clutches, body lotions, and more! I just gotta go back soon and take a better look at these treasures! Tips: there's free parking at Ala Moana Shopping Center - go to the Makai side, lower level. The clean, spacious store has several dressing rooms! Thanks to Kuuipo and Manaola HAWAII for the tickets to the Hula Bowl! BONUS: Designer Manaola Yap was at the store! He graciously paused to let me get a photo!

    Mahalo nui to Casey & Anela! Casey (not sure of proper spelling ) was so patient in helping me! She took her time to help me logon to the site sense never have particular dress in shoppe My Mother will love her dress!!! ALSo, I love the Masks from Here! These masks are perfectly Large for my Large mandible! Seriously comfortable! When I speak plenty-kine and inhale, the mask doesn't get sucked up in my mouth! This is such a fantastic shoppe! Thank your gorgeous employee KC for me again!

    This was just one of many shopping sprees!

    I pride myself on the choices my family and I wear especially when it comes to our matching attire. We shop at local businesses to help support in their own success and refer our family and friends when we feel that our patronage is much appreciated or that the products/merchandise speak for itself. But the biggest factor for me personally is the way we are made to feel and having our expectations met with disappointment or surpassed. We've visited the Pearlridge location once and the young man working there didn't even greet us. When I inquired about a product, he gave me a short answer and walked away. There was no Aloha, no Ho'okipa and I felt as if I inconvenienced him. The store was empty that day and he went back to using his phone behind the counter so moving forward I decided to only visit the Ala Moana location. When businesses hire, their employees become an extension and as consumers we expect a level of guest servicing to some aspect. I've been in the hospitality/customer service/retail/management industry for over 30 years so I will make an effort to write a commendation when it's warranted. A few years ago we visited Manaola and met a young man by the name of Tanner. When we walked in, he greeted us like we were Ohana and immediately welcomed my husband and I. He began explaining who Manaola is and his vision. Intrigued, I asked him how long he was with the company and to my surprise he was a recent hire. He had such a passion & respect for the business that you almost believed he was speaking as if it was his own. THAT kind of loyalty and passion is something you can't train or teach, it's either instilled within us or it's nonexistent. Over the next few years when my family and I would visit, it wasn't because of the design and don't get me wrong the clothing is beautiful, but it was because of Tanner's mana'o that he shared. You could see his ha'aheo when he spoke about the designs which persuaded us to purchase and our purchases became sentimental in value for us as Hawaiian's. It's difficult to find someone that resonates with their guests, that builds rapport, expresses a deep sense of ho'okipa with them, and epitomizes the company, the brand, and the business the way that Tanner has provided for my family and I over the years. We've referred so many of our family and friends because of this young man and I wanted to say "mahalo nui loa to Tanner for all your Aloha and Ho'okipa you provided consistently over the year's." We truly appreciate you! I hope the company sees you for your value, your worth, and what you so effortlessly have brought to the business! If this review was based on Tanner I would have given it 5 stars, I only gave it 4 because of the experience I had at the Pearlridge location. Hospitality goes a long way and so does loyalty and word of mouth.

    Mahalo Nui, Tanner! We LOVE our MANAOLA Family Attire!!!

I went in and out of the dressing rooms a few times while trying on outfits, and none of them had a basket or spot for purses. Each time I had to hang my handbag on a hanger with the clothes, since I refuse to put my handbag on the dirty ground. Finally, the very last dressing room I tried did have a basket at the bottom, which was much better. The clothing and jewelry are adorable -- some even look handmade -- and I did buy a few outfits and a cute pair of earrings. Prices are on the higher side, but the pieces are unique and eye-catching, so if you're looking for something different, it might be worth it. Unfortunately, checkout brought the experience down. Since I didn't need a bag, the sales associate handed me my clothes directly, but forgot my earrings. I didn't notice until I was halfway home. I tried looking everywhere for a phone number -- Yelp, the Ala Moana directory, the internet -- and couldn't find one. The only number I found just rang with no answer. So instead of calling, I had no choice but to drive all the way back through traffic. When I arrived, the sales associate saw me, handed me the earring, and said she was "going to text me." No apology, no "sorry for the inconvenience" -- nothing. Considering they have my number from the rewards program sign-up, that was disappointing. Overall, Sugar Sugar is a cute boutique with stylish pieces, but expect boutique pricing and limited dressing room amenities. The service could use improvement, especially when mistakes happen.

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!
