Manuheali’i

Love their aloha wear! If you’re looking for unique tops, dresses, muumuus, and mens wear this is a great place to shop. To get a good selection it’s best to go when they introduce a new pattern. The fabric prints are their own and limited so if you can follow them on Instagram you can see when they are released. Once they run out of an item and pattern it’s gone. The sizing seems to be off so if you don’t find anything in your size try the other sizes.
Customer service is great. They try to help with styles and sizes, and will call their other shop in town to check on availability of items.
A plus for shopping here is that this shop must be the only place in Kailua that has a lot of parking.

Really awesome aloha wear! Bold and beautiful! I like their limited run of prints and colors; new collections seem to be released every few months or so. Can keep tabs through instagram and facebook. Best to go immediately after release date/​time to get the sizes and styles you want. Now in my closet are a couple of dresses and shirts, good for special events and office wear. Plenty of parking. More convenient to the windward people. Best to try on the pieces since size seems different from expected. Pieces can be pricey, so I am very slowly accumulating my own personal Manuheali’i collection.

Elderly beware
Just after my mother and I got into the store, my mother who is 91 said she needed to use the bathroom. I asked the sales clerk if she could use their restroom and we were told «no — it is for employees only» and we have to go across the street to the restaurant. So we left and when we got outside it was raining, so we walked along side the building so and in doing so, my mother feel hitting her head on the pavement (the asphalt had a hump in it due to the tree root growing under the asphalt). The store manager called the ambulance. I asked them while waiting for the ambulance if they had ice so we could put it on her head and again was told «no» but then they brought me ice. While waiting for the ambulance, my mom again said she had to use the bathroom which they now let me.
The next day I called the Honolulu store and spoke with a manager explaining the situation. She said they are in compliance with the state regulations and only keep the bathroom for employees. Told the manager «exceptions» can always be made and they should take into consideration we have a «Kapuna» and they could display more respect to a «Kapuna» and make an exception — it wasn’t like we stop there just to use the bathroom. I had intentions to buy a gift certificate and an outfit.
The manger was to have the store owner call and to this date have not heard anything from anyone. They don’t display concern or Aloha spirit!
Wont be buying anything from this place and will surely tell people how they treat the elderly.

Cute little boutique off the beaten path. Beautiful fabrics, comfortable designs. I did not experience the sizing issues as others who’ve reviewed. Maybe we were lucky and got there before all the normal & bigger sized woman snatched up the inventory. Ha! :-) I am a size 10 and wear a large top.

When I visited the Kailua store today almost everything on the racks only came in a size XS, S and there would be an occasional M. I’m usually a size L and could find nothing here that fit today Rather disappointing.

Found the Kailua location; it has moved around in the past several years but seems to have found a permanent location across from Kalapawai Market in Kailua Town. Lots of parking in their private lot off the street after the Shell station at the corner of Oneawa and Kuulei Road. They are on Hoolai Street.
Often have wonderful, original prints and great colors, but when I shop there, they are inevitably low on sizes and often getting ready to unveil a new design. Wish they had more sizes and styles available for those of us that work in town and can’t be there for their launch of new designs! Or it would be nice if we could place orders for new designs so that we have a chance of getting correct sizing.
BTW, you have to try different styles on because they aren’t consistent in size; they might run large or small depending on the style. Best to try a style on to be sure it fits and looks good on you!
