I'm always looking for locally produced souvenirs so I knew I had to check this store when I went to Hawaii. A little bit out of the way across the road from the Ala Moana Centre in a more industrial area, you have to walk up a ramp to the second floor to access the store. There is a donut shop cafe and a ukulele producer adjacent to the store as well. Huge selection of aloha shirts for men and blouses and dresses for women, made in Hawaii, in both cotton and rayon varieties. Staff was very attentive and friendly, and provided size charts to help me measure the sizes. I went in the late afternoon

This place is awesome! There's a donut shop, a clothing shop and an ukulele shop here. It's great to get donuts and coffee and sit on the porch and relax for a bit.

Very kind and nice staffs. Poor AS. Quality of fabric is not so good. Better to buy 'Iolani dress at Macy's.

I went to the store in the Outrigger Waikiki. I fell in love with the fabric and ended up buying 2 tunics. They are so comfortable and look great! And no wrinkles. I am very happy with this purchase.

Went looking for wedding matching attire but they were fairly inflexible in their selection or custom ordering.
