Hawaiian fashion from Avanti.

Bailey'sAntiques&AlohaShirts:
Bailey's has one of the largest vintage aloha-shirt collections
in Honolulu, with prices ranging from inexpensive to sky-high. Old Levi's jeans, mandarin
jackets, vintage vases, household items, shawls, purses, and an eye-popping assortment of
bark-cloth fabrics (the real thing, not repros) are among the mementos in this monumental
collection.
•
Contemporary Museum Gift Shop:
This gets our vote as the most beautiful setting for a gift
shop, and its contents are a bonus: extraordinary art-related topics, avant-garde jewelry,
cards and stationery, home accessories, and gift items made by artists from Hawaii and
across the country. Only the best is sold here.
•
Honolulu Chocolate Co.:
Life's greatest pleasures are dispensed here with abandon: ex-
pensive gourmet chocolates made in Honolulu, Italian and Hawaiian biscotti, boulder-size
chocolate “turtles,” truffles, chocolate-covered coffee beans, and jumbo apricots in white
and dark chocolate, to name a few.
•
Mana Hawaii:
Experience authentic Hawaiian culture in the heart of Waikiki at this mega-
culture shop, the brainchild of five successful Native Hawaiian partners who combined
their talents into one. You'll ind everything from Hawaiian topics to Hawaiian-made gifts,
clothing, jewelry, and art, even hula implements and ukuleles, plus healing Hawaiian lo-
tions and oils.
