Avanti Hawaii

Lots of beautiful options to choose from. High quality attire that withstands time. Silk and cotton options. Definitely worth checking out. Associates available but not overbearing.

This place has great customer service and wide variety of Hawaiian shirts. I was in need of some gear to get me into the Hawai spirit and found this place on yelp. I'm glad I stopped by for the friendly experience. The lady working (didn't get her name unfortunately) made sure to provide different options and worked with me to find the ideal shirt. I appreciate she didn't add pressure into a purchase and genuinely wanted to help. I highly recommend coming here if you're in need of some Hawaiian clothing.I was surprised to see a lot of celebrity pictures on the of people who came here to get their shirts. Apparently, this is the spot to come and not surprisingly because the quality of their clothing is top quality. I am very happy with my shirt purchase and will return here for some more shirts for sure.

Great place and a must stop when looking for Aloha wear. They have many, many beautiful, luxurious prints that really stand out from the countless (sometimes cheesy) designs other surrounding stores carry. Fabrics are really comfy and not scratchy, ranging from Rayon, cotton and silk types. We bought a whole set for my family to take photos the last time we were here and the smocked top dress is so comfy I wear it every chance I get. When we came back for Thanksgiving this year, I made sure that we visited the store to pick up more items. They were having an amazing sale, so I picked up some dresses and a SILK shirt for around 30 dollars for my 9 year old son. You can mix and match anything in the store for photos and everything just GOES together. Love this place and the quality.

Aloha wear just ain't just Friday's. For me, it's almost everyday!Almost all of my aloha shirts were purchased here at this location. With so many souvenir shops on Kalakaua Avenue, you might just walk past it. No, the shirts here are the real deal. The store is adorned with celebrity photos of there customers. The recent Magnum p.i. series has wardrobed the cast with a few shirts from Avanti. Bruno Mars is a fan!The shirts are prints inspired by the vintage prints of the 1930s and 1940s. They run several fabrics: silk, rayon, a poplin. I prefer the silk with a trimmer modern fit, which isn't so billowy. Still I size down. These shirts aren't the ABC Store versions. Most shirts are about $100. I like to purchase them when I'm on Oahu, because of the greater selection. You can go online. If you see something you like, get it. Aside from a few best sellers, once the style is out, that's all there is!

"That was the worst" was what my fiancé said as we were walking out.Seeing they had a good selection of Hawaiian attire here, we thought about browsing through the store. The moment you walk in, the two employees are constantly trying to sell you shirts. Even though we politely asked to continue looking, they were talking at a mile a minute trying to get us to buy their merchandise. I got so stressed because if you're looking at something, they'll really force you to either try it on or buy it. I just wanted to browse.Since we were there on Mother's Day, the owner asked what I was getting for mom. I explained we were celebrating another weekend and already had a gift for her. She kept making excuses for about ten minutes on how my fiancé needed to buy me everything there because I will be a future mom. Honestly, we just wanted to look for something without the constant pestering. Eventually we couldn't take it anymore, said "thank you" and left. The smiles all disappeared from their faces.If you want some peacefulness while browsing, you won't get it here.

Best shirt place on the Kalakaua strip! Lots of varieties of silk dresses and shirts, somewhat vintage type. I bought my little guy a silk shirt form here and he still wears it! Slightly faded but mint condition, you can't tell the fade and it didn't shrink. They have a wide selection of kids clothing in silk also. Excellent high quality material of clothing and dresses they carry. You get what you pay for, it's the quality and bold colorful prints. Staff super friendly and recognize their returning customers.

We came in and was treated by a lovely lady that assisted us with getting a shirt for my husband. He tried a few shirts and decided with a nice blue shirt with pink flowers that was cute and of good quality. We were happy with the selection and recommend trying this place if you're looking for a good quality shirt!

We enjoyed excellent service from a courteous and attentive young man. The clothing and accessories are gorgeous and worth the price! I look forward to another visit.

I wish this was the first place that I visited on my trip. Their shirts are made of silk and their clothes fit me well. Some of them also were on sale. The sales guy also was helpful and pointed out items that I wouldn't have noticed on my own.

I was there on vacation starting January 5th and was looking for authentic Hawaiian shirts. Saw a few at ABC and elsewhere but all made in C*#$a. I did a Google search and found Avanti 3 blocks from where my family and I were. Went there and the salesperson was amazing. Picked out 2 awesome silk shirts. Great service. Will go there again next vacation there.
