THE
BEST
SHOPPING
Products of Hawaii now merit their own festivals and trade shows throughout the year, and
made in hawaii is a label to be touted. Here are a few places to score some finds.
•
Academy Shop:
The expansion of the Honolulu Academy of Arts made a good thing even
better: The Academy's store now has a stunning selection of art books, stationery, jewelry,
basketry, beadwork, ikats, saris, ethnic fabrics, fiber vessels, accessories, and contemporary
gift items representing the art and craft traditions of the world.
•
AvantiFashion:
Avanti aloha shirts and sportswear elevate tropical garb from high kitsch to
high chic. Casual, comfortable, easily cared for, and light as a cloud, the authentic prints
from the 1930s and '40s reproduced on silk look vintage but cost a fraction of collectibles'
prices. The nostalgic treasures are available in retail stores statewide, but the best selection
is in Waikiki.
