Armani Exchange

Why go to Indonesia when you can experience the craziness at AX Waikele?
Joking aside, I enjoy shopping here during the spring /​fall cycles when most of their products end up here. You can usually find a decent selection of jackets.
T-​shirts, jeans and collared shirts are hit and miss here. You might find old styles and perhaps even outlet lines at this location. Tread carefully.
I often get mistaken for a store employee here, so please don’t write a bad review based on some Asian dude who didn’t get you a fitting room. That might have been me, or someone else who doesn’t really work there.

Meh… 2 stars purely on selection. I meant 1. There seems to be a lot of different designs and styles, but the biggest downfall is there are not a lot of different sizes available. Everything I picked up had a ton of inventory, but a lot of the same size. Wow. I must be a popular size!
I eventually changed my strategy and just looked for anything that had my size. Yaaay! I found something. Eh, its alright. But hey. Maybe it’ll look better on than on the hanger…
Throughout my journey of trying to find something I didn’t even have anyone help me or greet me for that matter. They were too busy back stocking and restocking the floor. Okay. I get it. Maybe there’s my size in there somewhere.
I thought it even more frustrating when I was ready to try on my find and I had to call out to the associate multiple times. I’m right behind you. Hi. Excuse me. Ohh thank you. Sorry again to bother you.
Tried them on. Put them away and I was out of there. Not even a thank you or goodbye. Or did they even notice that I came out and left…

I’ve given this store more than enough chances, and it’s just not for me I guess. I know outlet stores won’t have the newest styles, but come on! Every single thing in here looks like it’s from at least 5 seasons ago. The colors are horrid and it’s just stuff that I’ve never even seen at the regular A/​X store, even long ago. I also feel like the sizing is off. I can buy a t-​shirt at the regular store and have it fit perfectly. Then I come here, and try on the same size… and just it’s all wrong. Everyone always seems friendly here and helpful, which is to me, the only plus.

This place is a hit or miss with me. Some good sales on shirts and dresses decent quality and affordable. If your picky go somewhere else! If your page (Chinese) like me come buy cheap stuff to give as gifts. I gotten shirts from $ 5 – 20. Good luck hunting!

Armani Exchange’s outlet store at Waikele can be a decent place to find merchandise for this brand. The sale prices are reasonable, though the biggest problem I have with this location is that the colors and styles do not look good. Though not to the extent of a H&M sales rack which is definitely the worst (think neon). And the Armani Exchange logos are all over the clothing. I prefer my clothing to have little signage on them if any at all.
The store is relatively small so you will need to squeeze your way through the store to get around. It does not have good ambiance, but if you can look past this, you might be able to find some deals here. I have found some things at A/​X stores, but they are more hit then miss in finding something I like. You would be better off looking for deals on their online store.

O/​M/​G @ A/​X!
My brother and I were at Waikele shopping and on the hunt for a good after Christmas sale or discounted items. There were some fliers in the window of the store advertising huge savings or something so we decided to check it out. Now, when I walked in the store I immediately thought «oh wow, there must be some good sales here» because there were placards on almost every rack advertising «under $ 20», «under $ 30» and so on. Well folks, apparently that must be the standard sales bait to reel in the customer because «under $ 30», for example, translates into $ 29.99. I mean, well technically the items were under $ 30, but I guess I just expected more of a «bargain.» The true sale items were located in the back of the store fyi for all you bargain shoppers out there.
Lastly, I almost wanted to laugh at the sales girl that was helping my brother. My brother saw some jeans he wanted but couldn’t find his size.
The sales girl asked what size he was looking for and he told her 30×30.
5 – 10 minutes later she comes back with a jeans size 33×32. I could tell my brother was just being polite but I think he was just as surprised as I was. She tried to make some joke about how it’s the holidays and how he’d fit into the jeans eventually… ummm yeah… sure.
Bottom Line: I would shop elsewhere.

i usually have about a 25% chance of finding something here, and that’s pretty good compared to other stores at waikele. i don’t know what people really expect from an outlet; you’re not always gonna find the hottest styles in the best colors and in your size, or assistance from the most motivated salespeople either!
but once in awhile i luck out and find a cute top, and i must say i love their dark wash boot cut jeans (you know how hard it is to find a good pair of jeans right ladies?! these fit me like a glove, in the most flattering way possible!). i like the clubbing music (yes it seriously makes me wanna buy something) and usually i get helped right away too… well, the store is only so small haha.
the only thing i didn’t appreciate on my last visit was being scolded when i tried to take a pic to post on Unilocal.now it’s my secret agent mission to go back and snap a few haha. for now you’ll have to do with a pic of my shopping bag and jeans label: P but really AX Outlet, who doesn’t need some positive exposure?

meh.
