The Best Used, Vintage & Consignment in Honolulu

Kōkua General Store

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"I stumbled in here while wandering around. The store sells sustainable goods and does refills of household products like shampoo, detergent, cleaning products, lotion, etc. They have every kind of reusable straw, reusable version of paper goods, and lots of eco friendly dental products. Along with household goods, they have a section of vintage clothes. These are curated collections so you know that you won't have to search through junk to find something good. Their aloha shirt selection is especially impressive, and they had some really cute aloha shirts from the 50s and 60s. I believe kokua general store is owned by Jack Johnson (a musician) and dedicated to sustainability. We have some metal cups similar to the ones sold here that we got from his concert, and we love them! Highly recommend for practical, sustainable dishware if glass isn't an option because of its breakability."

Eco Town Select

★★★★☆ 3.9 (41) • $$

"EcoTown select is acute little store, located in Ala Moana shopping center that sells gently used clothes, handbags, and designer goods. I found the store to be clean and very well organized. They have a good selection of Aloha shirts (a lot of them were Reyn Spooner), women's designer shoes, athletic shoes, designer handbags, and other high-end items. There was also a small selection of framed artwork, and ukuleles.They also do buy gently used designer products, purses, and Aloha shirts. I didn't purchase anything during this trip, but definitely want to return and check out some additional items."

The Vintage Hawaii

★★★★★ 4.5 (21) • $$

"I love antique stores because I have noticed that I grew up with a lot of the things in here, which is my I am turning into a old human with a lot of great nostalgic memories of how things used to be and the only place to find stuff from when I was a younger person are in antique stores...ok, well maybe not ALL of the stuff like the Old Victrola and the super old cameras (that I was told still work!). When I first walked in, I asked if I could take photos in the store. The wonderful lady behind the counter said "sure!" when I told her I was an antique lover and a Yelper. She was super cool to give me a history of the place: 100% non-profit, all proceeds go back to the community, everyone that works in this antique store and Surfer Coffee are all volunteers and everything in the store was donated or found at thrift shops. How cool is that? When you work toward the good of mankind and sell really cool stuff at a great price?I did see a pair of shorts I wanted to try on, yes, high-waisted shorts (those are antique) that I grew up with, but did not have time as I was supposed to meet someone at Surfer Coffee. I cannot stand the low-waisted shorts that have taken over since the 1990s because they keep falling down constantly - hello, no waist to keep them on! In fact, TMI but I didn't wear my shorts today to check out Wahiawa town because they were falling off my butt. I wore my low-waisted torn-up jeans instead but they started falling down as well. I seriously need to come back here before someone else has the sense to buy those high-waisted shorts for a mere $8.00. BOTTOM LINE: Old stuff rocks."

Cosmopolitan Travel

★★★★☆ 4 (2) • $

"This unassuming little building at the entrance to Petco and Walgreens is barely noticeable, except the last time Kristine C. and I drove by, we noticed an inviting Thrift Store sign! We had to check it out.A travel agency that just doesn't have the clientele anymore, the owners decided to turn most of their office space into a little thrift and consignment store. They have all manner of typical thrift goods: jewelry, toys, records, books, home goods, clothing, decor, and others. Prices are reasonable and typical. The only thing lacking is the selection; they have what they have and that's it.The cashier volunteer that day was very friendly and talked story with us for quite a while. It's worth checking out if you enjoy bargain and treasure hunting. Half their profits go to a local charity."

Spark

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"This is such a hidden gem!! I had no idea this store existed in the heart of Waikiki. You're not likely to stumble upon this place because it's on the third floor of an unassuming office building. They have the coolest vintage Hawai'i stuff - clothing, housewares, decor, and more. It's a mix of stuff but very well curated. Lots of vintage airline items too. I really loved the large framed art pieces and wish I had space for them. The vintage tees are awesome. And the selection of new tees are designed in house and so rad! I'm obsessed with this store I feel like this review isn't doing it justice. It's seriously so awesome and super reasonable prices too! The owner is so friendly and knowledgeable and will tell you the history of the pieces and where they came from too. It's like a museum. Go check it out you won't regret it!"

Hawaii Consignment Center

★★★★☆ 4.2 (57) • $$

"The Best of Everything - Hawaii's Best 2022The readers of the Honolulu Star*Advertiser voted the following Hawaii's best:1. BakeryFirst Place - Liliha BakeryMy opinion: I love Liliha Bakery but it is hard for me to believe that Leonard's Bakery was not even considered a finalist.11. Fast FoodFirst Place - Taco BellMy opinion: Not sure how and where they counted votes but I think they didn't count the mail-in votes before publishing. It is insane that McDonald's wasn't in first place or even a finalist.20. Korean FoodFirst Place - Kim Chee IIMy opinion: I can assure you that they didn't ask real Koreans what restaurant they thought had the best Korean food. How can Yummy's be better than Sorabol, Choi's Garden and So Gong Dong?There are 156 categories but there should have been 158. How can they leave out:157 - Fresh SeafoodFirst Place - Tamashiro MarketMy opinion: Most reliable place to find fresh seafood in Honolulu. Always packed with Polynesians and Filipinos from all over the island. This seafood and grocery store has been No. 1 amongst locals since 1946.I also think there should be a 158:158 - Consignment StoreFirst Place - Hawaii Consignment CenterMy opinion: Hawaii Consignment Center is the best consignment store in Honolulu.They just moved to a very visible and convenient location at 1901 South King Street and have plenty of parking in the front of the store. The store is two stories, jam packed, full of desirable used furniture and collectibles.The only consignment store in Honolulu that deals with used furniture.From a buyer's perspective, they sell gently used furniture and treasures from all over the world. I've seen American arts and craft and Victorian furniture, Knoll Barcelona chair, Corbusier lounge chair, Hermes folding stool and cushions, Chinese Qing dynasty furniture, carved koa furniture, Persian rugs, artwork by artist likes of Dali, Picasso, Madge Tennent, Luigi Fumagalli; Mid-century modern lamps, Hawaiiana, Pre-Columbian artifacts, Qing dynasty porcelain, Japanese Meiji period furniture; and other interesting collectibles; have pass through this shop's doors. I find things here priced to sell!From a seller's perspective, this is a great place to get rid of bulky furniture when downsizing from a house to an apartment; transitioning to your more minimalist retirement style of living; and make some money, instead of donating your once prized treasures, accumulated over the years, to Goodwill or the Salvation Army.Been a buyer and a seller here and the owner Chip Buchmiller are honest, personable and comfortable to work with. Useful tip: For the best deals, always better to deal directly with the owner Chip.Staff here are friendly and accommodating and as a side note "Michael Jackson" works here! Hoo!! He's smooth, he's bad ...Shamone. He's bad, bad really bad! Shamone!!The rest of the staff includes the talented fixer and muscleman of the store, Mattai; and part-timers Anna, Mark and Ken. Open Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.New inventory here are consistently being moved in or out and constantly changing, so it's worthwhile visiting this place at least once a month.Don't know what all of you thought of the Star*Advertisers, Best of Everything - Hawaii's Best 2022 but for me, I thought the selections were lacking, puzzling and surprising. The insert and results seemed to have been a tally of votes of people that just moved from the mainland and are now living in a Howard Hughes Development high rise in Kakaako.All I can say is for me, if the Honolulu Star*Advertiser publishes the nonsense I saw in their Best of Everything insert, they should not be a finalist in 159 - Local Newspaper, Hawaii's Best 2022. Even they recognize they are only a one star newspaper by putting a single * between Star and Advertiser instead of Star*****Advertiser."

Hawaii All-Collectors Show

★★★★★ 4.9 (10) • $$

"#27 for 2018I am in shock. I am in shock that this is not the cheap collectible nonsense stuff I thought it was going to be. Far from it.This event is approaching it's big 30th show. No wonder it has lasted this long too. It may look like a swap meet but this is more like a museum of goodies worth checking out. You might just learn something of history and come out the better for it.It doesn't cost much to get in either. $5 will get you in the door for 1 full day. $7.50 will get you in for all 3 days. That's the best deal there because the dealers are constantly bringing new things out every day. If you like to dress up, and come as a cosplayer you can get in free. Same as if you present a military\DOD ID, that will get you in free too.The promoters have also allowed an Anime Swap Meet where fans can sell their related goods. This is a great feature of the show to help bring in a younger crowd.The Costumer's Guild was present too. These guys build some amazing stuff. They brought in the Jurassic Park Jeep. A real one you can sit in and get your picture taken. There was also the Ghost Buster Mobile complete with what looks like a rocket laucher. The guys came in their full outfit complete with ghost busting packs that light up doing all sorts of crazy things. Pictures with these guys was priceless.Another prop master, Keoni Maemora, brought the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones along with the wall of the nameless ones. Great real life props you can take a pictures in.The room was filled with collectible and antique dealers. Many carried Hawaiiana items that were wonderful to look at. Vintage Hawaiian shirts too. It is nice to see all these items that you no longer see in the retail shops today. If you're looking for a room, or your entire house, to stand out, to have wonderful pieces to talk about from our history, be it Hawaii or the world, this is where you will want to come.Rose and Patrick run a professional show. They are not ones to hide from everyone. Easily available to assist or answer questions standing at their booth at the ready. The fun in the show reflects themselves and what they want this show to be. It truly was a fun show to be at enjoyed by all members of the family, young and old."

"The shop's management seemed unfriendly and overconfident. The pricing lacked consistency, and several items were in need of repair, with some even showing signs of termite damage. Fortunately, there are other vintage and furniture stores available that offer a more pleasant shopping experience and friendlier service that I could recommend."

Harbors Vintage Waikiki

★★★★★ 5 (12)

"Once you jump to the nWo, you're nWo 4 life!!If you grew up in the late 80s and 90s, then HarborsVintage will definitely bring back some memories. Forme during that time, it was the Monday Night Wars,Rockets back-to-back championships, Dan Marino, Sega Genesis, Simpsons, Seinfeld, Goosebumps, MTV, etc. Wrestling was cool then, and sporting T-shirts of your favorite wrestlers was cool too! I still have them and still fit! But if you've outgrown them or your Mom tossed them out, and want them back again, then you need to pay a visit to Harbors Village located in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, near the Apple store on the inside of the shopping center.It's there where you will find real vintage clothing, notreproductions. There's t-shirts, classic basketball shoes, caps, Reyn Spooner, a few VHS tapes, and etc. They only sell clothes that are in pretty good condition for 25 year old clothes. Of course that black shirts are faded and a bit stretched out, but that's the vintage look!Everything is beautifully displayed in a nice, clean, andorganized store. The staff member is very friendly andpersonable. You can see he enjoys this stuff. So do I!Overall, it's definitely a cool store to check out and godown memory lane. Seeing Beavis and Butthead t-shirts, nWo Wolfpac, classic NBA logos (cue the NBCNBA theme by John Tesh), and just everything was nostalgic. I'm not sure what the market on these things are right now, but the nWo Wolfpac shirt was $120.Wow! I have a couple stored away in my drawer! And aload of VHS tapes (thank you Blockbuster!).I can't believe I've never heard of this store, and foundout there's another store on Beretania St that's beenopen for 2 years!Toooo Sweeeeet!!!"

Sweet Enemy Clothing

Keiki 2 Keiki

★★★★☆ 4.1 (131) • $

"Shopping in Honolulu, Hawaii...My friend, Irene, gave me a handmade rose pen and said that it was from "Keiki 2 Keiki" when I asked her if she made the rose. She also told me that i would like this shop... and that it's not what I think it is... Well... of course I had to check it out. When Irene give clues like that... it's very intriguing and - most of the time - she's 99.99 percent correct... LOL!Keiki 2 Keiki is located next to Honey Glazed Ham. There's a free shared parking lot.Service is very welcoming and friendly. Both employees asked if I had any questions and if I needed help. I just needed time to look through everything. There's a lot of merchandise - new and previously owned... at terrific prices!The new items would be the Sanrio merchandise (pens, coin purses, pencil cases, keychains, umbrellas, etc.), hair accessories, jewelry, and local snacks.Previously owned items include children's clothing, strollers, toys, backpacks, and more!I found a previously owned Kuromi bag for my sister; a green monstera hairclip for my friend in New Jersey, and some brand new greeting cards! I also got a fuzzy pineapple keychain for my mainland friend and a red good luck bracelet for my niece! Score!Keiki 2 Keiki supports other local businesses, so check their Facebook page for mochi sale for Girls' Day (March 3)... and check their sale items.I also heard a conversation about collaboration with schools to help students in need... wow... what a great company... they have positive energy and a noble mission... to help the community!Reuse and recycle!They will buy some items from customers and give store credit at a higher price than cash!Come check them out!"

Paris Station

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (35) • $$$

"When we moved back home to Hawai'i I was eager to make sure my collection made it back home. I had ... to look at my excess and find a place to either sell or consign. Luckily I found the team at Paris Station. After working with them on one sale and now a consignment I am so pleased with the professionalism and kindness. This will definitely be the spot I bring all my excess or bags I don't use or have used. I only have two arms right?!!! Anyways, if you have Louis Vuitton and you're looking to sell... this is your place to order, sell or consign at! Thank you folks so much for being so amazing!!!"

Reluxury Oahu

★★★★☆ 4.3 (7)

"Really fun find!!!! I truly enjoy walking in here and browsing their new inventory. I often pop by after appointments in the area. It's a cute boutique on the Starbucks side of the shopping center. They mostly carry luxury brands. I've seen things from Chanel, Dior, Hermes, all the way to denim by Joe's, AG, etc. formal gowns, suits, daily wear, accessories. The ladies are always welcoming and when they take your consignment items, they are quite particular as to what brands and condition they accept so you never have to question the quality of items you purchase. Pricing is quite reasonable as well. Definitely worth taking a peek when you're in the area. It's always a fun treasure hunt and a great way to refresh the wardrobe. Consignments are at 50% and exceptions make for certain brands to a max of 60%. Not the greatest split but saves you the hassle of posting your items at third party sites, packaging and mailing, marketing, storing all your stuff at home, etc. Sometimes convenience wins."

Rhea Lana's of Honolulu

★★★★★ 4.7 (12) • $

"In life thrift happens...When it does we look to the little things in life and see if it can go to someone who needed it more than we do, this is where consignment was something I've done in the past which can be risky but is great tool to sell that item your not totally committed to.Rhea Lana's is the nation's children consignment place that holds events is 25 states and guess what we have one right here in Hawaii and was coincidentally held in the former Toy r us location in Pearl City.I was just taken aback of how much inventory they had!Very neat and organized all sorted with clear signage for all things for kids like clothing, shoes, toys, furniture, books and even accessories for mom like bags and bottles. There was a few items I was interested in but the line was decently long with carts filled with items I though what a great organization this is and is obviously very needed in this community. Though this event has passed follow them on Instagram @rhealanasofhonolulu to keep updated with them.Thank you!"

Plato's Closet

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (365) • $

"Happy Earth Month...As I try to condense and pare down and accept the unwanted items that are still in good condition and see if I'm able to find a better home that someone will love and not putting in the landfill.Plato's Closet is a great way to do so as they will purchase your items though mind you they are pretty full so are now pretty selective with your items. Many are targeted for teens and younger crowds with that are searching for specific brands and styles.The process is easy you check in with your iD and information and wait until you see your name on the chalkboard to which they will go over with the items they have chosen and you do still have the option to sell your items to them on this visit they seem to have wanted my eco bags which I had a bunch that they now are still in excellent condition along with some shoes.If you do find items there as well the money you receive from them items you just sold will go into a discounted price which makes it a win win in these situation and not filling the landfill with items that could have been avoided.Thank you!"

Harbors Vintage

★★★★★ 4.9 (62)

"Hey Guys and Gals! Speaking to all who grew up in the 80s and 90s, did you move away for college and your parents donated or got rid of all your heavy metal and wrestling tees, those classic Champion branded NBA and NFL jerseys, or those pairs of well-made Levi's jeans?Yeah, I regret ever donating my "old" clothes, or opening my toys and video games lol.If you don't want to rummage through church thrift stores, Goodwill, Savers, Salvation Army, or go to numerous garage sales and hope to get lucky, then Harbor's Vintage is the place to go!I've been to the Waikiki location first, and discovered there was another location with more stuff! Hopefully, Yelp won't delete and move that business page to here again.This location is along the left side of Beretania St, in between Safeway and Times. There's only metered parking. You need to hit the buzzer to be let in, which is good to control the crowd.Once inside, you're immediately taken back to the 90s with a plethora of shirts, hat, toys, shoes, posters, and even a Nintendo 64 with four controllers and Mario Kart displayed. They just need the Sony CRT TV!Everything is very well organized. The shirts are separated by color or by genre, and other clothes are by section. There are toy figures for sale too, but very few. I did find a 1997 Hakeem Olajuwon figure! Hopefully they can expand that.You can't say this is a thrift store since the prices don't reflect being "thrifty," but the prices are fair value and generally what they go for at other stores, unless you do discover them at a thrift store. This is a resale/secondhand store where they buy your vintage clothes and resell them. So if you have cool, vintage clothes and toys stored deep in the attic or closet, you can bring them here and get some cash!Overall, Harbors Vintage is a cool store to check out if don't have a time machine. The items are mostly 90s stuff. So if your favorite shirt back in the day was lost forever, it might be here! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Everything is in excellent condition. Some are almost as if you were buying it in the 90s. I need to check on my clothes now!"

DeStash Hawaii

★★★★★ 5 (11)

"Every January is mu'umu'u month in Hawaii and DeStash is the place to go to find your perfect fit! First off:Location: found on the left side of South Street going mauka and surprise, surprise! FREE PARKING. That literally made my day knowing I didn't have to find street parking and walking forever!The shop is on the first floor and it appears they moved into a bigger area adjacent to the old (making it a much bigger space. Once you enter you are greeting by the nicest lady (owner). I told her that I was new to her shop and was looking for a mu'umu'u for an upcoming event. She made several suggestions (all so very good)! I was happy since I was clueless other than knowing that I wanted a vintage piece and perhaps a "newer" version as well. I came away with a beautiful Bette in a pink floral as well as another in red and yellow print. I was very pleased with my purchases as well as the help and hospitality from DeStash."

Back In The day Hawaii

★★★★☆ 4.3 (8)

"I love magical places like these. It's a bit hard to find since it was off into the distance of where we were in the parking lot, at the old Waialua Sugar Mill. This location is rich with history, and it's befitting that this little antique shop is sitting in the middle of an area that goes back in time. I am old enough to remember the Waialua Sugar Mill burning cane back in the 90's as I drove to Mokuleia Beach and seeing black debris of flying burnt sugar cane drift across my car windshield, along with smoke. The mill closed down in 1996 then became abandoned over time, then opened back up with new shops and little local stores, like this one.It's a very tiny store, no bigger than a small studio, but has a variety of really nice antiques crammed with vintage Pyrex, glassware, clothing, Pan-Am bags, hat boxes, costume jewelry, and anything else you care to explore. The owner Etsuko is super friendly and we spent a while discussing vintage clothing, barware, jewelry and the finer things that were important in life in the days when things were meant to last and not fall apart after a season of use. I'm already wondering when I can go back to visit, as I had a great time there. The hours vary, so call before you go at (808) 778-5332."

EcoTown

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (107) • $

"Buying and selling in Honolulu, Hawaii...I noticed that my friend, Andy, would check in at Eco Town once in a while. I remember going there many years ago and buying a Hello Kitty purse with the tags on! I should take a look again!Located at the Dole Cannery in Iwilei, Eco Town shares its parking lot with Costco. Yellow Cab Pizza and L&L Drive-In are in the next building. I had a bunch of items to sell, but they weren't brand-name merchandise. The manager told me that they stop buying items at 5pm. He offered to let me leave my items overnight, but he looked quickly and didn't take anything. That's ok. I can donate my things tomorrow and get a receipt. I looked around and got ideas of what they're looking for. COACH, Vera Bradley, Louis Vuitton, Kate spade, LeSportsac, Jimmy Choo, Nike, and Michael Kors are some examples. I also saw Funko Pop, musical instruments, monitors, jewelry, and Squishmallows. I'll have to return!"

La Parisienne

★★★★☆ 3.5 (11) • $$

"I never noticed this store before, but this must have been here for a long time.There are a lot of interesting things in this small space. It is actually really hard to see as it is overly crowded. They have some clothes, but almost impossible to see when they are all packed in. I liked their plates and little things all around. You might find something you like.I rate 3.5."

"Wide selection, lots of tiny trinkets to look at. Parking can be a hit or miss... very happy with my $3 purchase. From men to baby apparel, lots of Hawaiian wear as well. Value on the Hawaiian wear is a bit high but I still think it's a great deal as they are still bnwt"

I love that They have everything here from jeans, aloha tees, button ups, jackets, jewelry, blankets, home thangs, and more!Check them out! IG is single_double_ too if you wana check them out there :)"

Caterkids

★★★★☆ 3.5 (148) • $

"Cater kids is a great place to find toys for babies and kids for a great price or you can try to resell some of your items. In the past, I had set up an appt to sell some of my children's stuff but unfortunately they couldn't take the car seats for safety reasons or couldn't find the original price of the items.. nevertheless, I shopped around their store as you can thrift baby toys and necessities in good/great/new condition items. From what I remember seeing, there was a ton of Elmo toys. My kids had too many toys already but I'll keep them in mind. This is a great place if you're on a budget and would prefer to support small rather than the big box stores!"
