Dezigns By Kamohoalii

Many new shops in Pearlridge, Macy's side. This was the first one I explored. I saw some light in weight tote bags that may be a perfect carry on to go from Montreal to Greece and end up in Munich.Couldn't find a price tag and asked the sales clerk,"Do I stick my finger in the puka opening to get the zipper to move?" Yes was the answer cuz it was a reversible print: one side had artistically placed island names I spotted Kahoolawe first. The other side looked like a lei of white flowers on a black background. I figured easy to identify and carry the passport and necessities onto the cruise ship.I decided. I'll take it so the sales clerk put it back into its sealed plastic bag that I had asked him if I could look at it and put it into a paper handled sack.Only one other customer in the store. Very uncluttered with distinctive items. I was thrilled that the price was under $50, good deal.

Shopping at Pearlridge Mall...I had wanted to find this original location of Dezigns By Kamohoalii for a while. I found out about this local designer from the second location at Windward Mall in Kaneohe, O'ahu, Hawaii. The workers in Kaneohe told me that the Pearlridge store is bigger and has more inventory.I needed to look!LOCATION: upper level of the "Uptown" side of the Mall - near to Macy's.ENVIRONMENT: attractive displays and organized racks of clothing, mixed with shelves of tote bags make browsing pleasant. Air conditioning, good lighting, and convenient dressing room are present!Service was very friendly and helpful. I was advised to return next month - after the designer returns from Europe.I'll be back!
