Do you know how The North Face got its name?…read more The name comes from the north face of a mountain, which is the coldest, most challenging, and often most difficult side to climb in the Northern Hemisphere. It reflects the brand's focus on adventure, exploration, and high-performance outdoor gear designed to help people take on challenging environments. Now you know! I visited this Ala Moana location and was impressed by how clean, well-stocked, and organized the store was. The associates were also very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. It was easy to browse the selection and find what I needed. If you enjoy outdoor adventures or are looking for quality gear, this is a great store to check out. Be prepared, though, as quality gear can be expensive. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Happy shopping!

I picked two of the EXACT SAME lab coats out one in a size L and one in a size XL. The lady in the front said the total would be $54 with tax and I questioned here because each lab coat was parked on the tag as $24.99. So she ended up saying that one of the lab coats was actually $26.99 even though the tag said $24.99. Why would the same exact lab coat be different prices? And the funny thing is the smaller size was the one with the larger price. She was very rude and kept saying what do you want me to do about it. And yes I made sure to check the numbers on the tag and everything was the EXACT same for both sizes. Whoever put it into the computer system must have messed up with the pricing. I had to get it anyways because I needed it for the next day so I ended up paying for it. She even refused to fix the pricing for me. To top it off she asked for a ID when I paid with my card. No one has ever asked me that before especially such a small bill. Don't go here, they're empty for a reason and I hope the owners learn to teach their staff that the mistake is THEIR FAULT.

I also would like to give a special shoutout that they have some of the most beautiful bathrooms ever. I always enjoy using the bathrooms here because it's spacious and kept tidy. Definitely props for that.

Their start was aimed at women yoga instructors and their fashionable and functional women's yoga pants are still a signature look at yoga classes. Today, Lululemon is an athletic apparel empire. The brand is not without controversy, starting with the founder, Chip Wilson. He stated in an interview about deliberate mockery of the multiple use of the letter "L" in Lululemon, to make it difficult for Japanese to pronounce. He also made critical and unappreciated remarks about women's bodies following criticism over Lululemon's unflattering and revealing sheer black women's yoga pants. And it continues with his criticism of the diversity and inclusion initiatives the company has emphasized after his departure. Nevertheless, I am a fan of the brand. Not everything fits me well but what does makes me happy. The material is comfortable, washes and line dries easily, and will last for years with only minor dark color fading. I find their athleisureware perfect for traveling. There are several newer athleisure brands out there with products as good or better in quality or price. But the large numbers of Lululemon stores makes it easy to shop. I have bought clothes suitable for the weather while traveling in Tokyo and Seattle - very convenient. On any given day you'll probably find me dressed with something Lululemon.

I visited on 4/26/26 around noon and stood at the Victoria's Secret side of the registers (separate from the Pink side). Two employees were at the counter with no customers in line. They clearly saw me waiting, but neither acknowledged me -- no greeting, no "we'll be right with you," nothing. I stood there for about five minutes without a single word. I finally gave up and walked over to the Pink side. When I explained what happened, the cashier just said "sorry about that" in a flat, scripted tone that made it obvious she wasn't actually concerned. I finished my transaction and left feeling pretty disappointed. The whole interaction didn't sit right with me, and honestly, it explained why the store was nearly empty on a Sunday afternoon. I completed the survey on my receipt and rated the visit a "1," the lowest score -- and unfortunately, this experience earned it.

While other retailers carry the TravisMathew brand, this store is the place to go if you're looking for the newest styles and the most current selection.

Show your Hawai'i ID and receive a Kama'aina 10% off discount. Nice touch! Between the great product selection and exceptional service from Paje and Jennifer, this was an easy 5-star experience.

"Keep your sense of humor. There's enough stress in your life not to let bad shots ruin a game…read moreyou're supposed to enjoy." - Amy Alcott, LPGA Hall of Famer We've passed the Travis Mathew lifestyle and golf apparel store at the Ala Moana Center many times since its opening in late February and chuckled at their catchy quote sign. I've known about the stylish California-inspired Travis Mathew men's golf wear for several years, and my current favorite PGA play, John Rahm, wears this brand while on tour. During several passes, I have urged my husband to go in to browse and upgrade his golf wardrobe as he has insisted that I do the same. My husband hadn't gone in to try on the performance polo shirt that he had seen while window shopping, so I took it upon myself to scope out the performance wear and inquire about Travis Mathew's upcoming women's golf apparel line. Walking in, the two employees, who were toward the back of the store unpacking inventory, greeted me with smiles and Aloha. I let them know that I came in to browse for my husband and asked about the arrival of the upcoming women's sportswear. They said the women's line was delayed but should be coming into their inventory in about two weeks, or hopefully, earlier. Just then, my eyes caught sight of the DAD BOD mannequin, and I burst into laughter. My Yelp Friend from Palos Verdes, Chris G, had pointed this mannequin out while visiting his local Travis Mathew store recently. However, because my husband and I hadn't gone far back enough into our Ala Moana store, this was my first time seeing the local version. The male sales representative said the mannequin is quite the conversation piece, and he, although much younger than me, said he's on his way to looking like that even though he's not yet married. Um, I didn't think he's even close to looking like that! Besides, my husband and I took up golf before Tiger Woods came onto the golf scene, and it seemed that most male golfers, amateur and professional, looked like that mannequin. Anyway, we chatted a bit about golf as I browsed and never felt rushed or smothered by this sales representative. The female employee was assisting another customer near the fitting rooms and later joined into the discussion on aging "gracefully" and maintaining fitness to improve your quality of life. We all agreed that playing golf, no matter what skill level you have, is a sport that one can play and enjoy until one's later years. They understood that golf challenges one's mental acuity while not requiring muscle-bound (but fitness, flexibility, and proper techniques are keys). Yes, golfing is paradoxical, and we agreed that accuracy and touch are better than power. Heehee, but, yeah, having strength and agility could be more fun to watch, eh? As more customers came into the store, I quietly stepped to the side to not bother the sales representative with more frivolity; after all, they're working. As I continued to browse, I thought my husband would enjoy the casual apparel for on and off the course and vowed to return when the women's line is released. We'll be back to upgrade our golf attire because my husband teases me about looking too much like a gardener or hiker when we golf.

I had passed by this batik shop many times in the past, but never went inside. Today, June 21, 2026, was their last day, so I walked in to look around. Note: they won't be receiving more inventory because of the tarrifs, one of the vendors retired, etc. Sally was an excellent sales associate. She knew the fabrics (cotton vs. linen vs. bamboo), the origins of the prints, the styles, etc. Sally briefly explained the intricate process of making batik fabric. Wow... she even showed me a pattern stamp and swatches. She really knew her stuff... because she's worked at Noa Noa for over 13 years! I got a couple of dresses because natural fibers - such as cotton - should be cooler to wear. (I'm perspiring more because it's summer now...) I'll try itvout and get more at their smaller Waikiki shop or their new shop which will be nearby. Yay!

I walked in having no idea where to begin because there's so many beautiful garments to look at. I didn't have a style or color preference, I just knew I wanted to buy something nice. Aya politely asked me a few questions to narrow down the search. She then pointed out some of the different styles in my size. Together, we pulled a few dresses off the rack and Aya led me to a fitting room. Excitedly, I had four lovely dresses to try on. As I was in the fitting room, Aya politely offered information about the different fabrics, the variety of styles and sizes, she even explained the best method for gentle washing. When I came out of the dressing room without "the" dress speaking to me, Aya pointed out another rack that I had not yet browsed. Then BOOM, there it was! The color! The size! The fabric! The style! Winner, winner, Aya helped this beginner :) After trying it on and walking around the store in it, it was done. Mission accomplished thanks to Aya! Love my pretty new dress, Mahalo Aya :)
