Honolulu Makers Market

A nice market for local craftsmen and smaller vendors to sell their products. The market area was on the mall level. The size of the market was not too large, and it's located near Target, Face Shop and the nearby shops along the way. The market brings a lot of foot traffic (local and visitors ) to the mall level shops near Target. The Vendors I spoke with were courteous and answered my questions about their products. Interestingly enough, I met one vendor who specifically did not want to be reviewed on Yelp. Her business was not yet on Yelp. She explained to me that she is a very small business and she did not want her business featured in a review or on Yelp. I honored the request and I hope did not post a review for her business. Vendors had all different price ranges. There were craft items, jewelry, caramels, homemade knitted items and so much more. Great for holiday gifts this year.

Currently the only craft fair in Ala Moana Center...Always love the opportunity to see the creativity, love and passion crafters create as I've always have the love to create as far as I can remember...my first art was origami, having a box full of folded origami and an insanely huge master book with patterns even a grown adult would struggle.Not only is this event is conveniently held in Ala Moana Center fronting Target lower level it was over the weekends (Saturday and Sundays) from 10am to 4pm making it possible for many to attend...myself included. Shopaholics heaven with the various items prices to please I just love it.Follow them on Instagram @honolulumakersmarket to see what are the future dates and vendors participating as they do varry at times, not very large though they do take the entire grounds on the lower level making it a great covered area to shop. I've found so many items from stickers to plants and decor. The vibe is vibrant and enthusiastic as we look for that item we never knew we "needed" is something worth the search.Thank you!

Event was held on Saturday, August 20, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm at Ala Moana Center. Vendors were selling foods, jewelry, clothing, bags, stickers, and other merchandise. My friend got there early and got mochi. When I got there, they were sold out. My purchases was BT21 RJ Alpaca sugar cookie at $6.50 from You Made This For Me. They sold out on the other BT21 characters who were Chimmy, Cooky, Koya, Mang, and BTS. It too bad there were food vendors selling lunch food like bentos or plate lunch. IG is homemakersmarket.

Here is a honest review of this market as a prior vendor who participated with HMM for 1 year.This market is located at Ala Moana at the target wing, monthly and they host the Blooms festival couple times a year. As a vendor their Ala Moana markets are too overpriced for only being a vendor for 4-5 hours. It's about $240, it's not recommended for someone who is beginning. HMM does not have a official website, and does not have a phone number, and they don't like you contacting them on Instagram apparently. I was a vendor with them that paid on time, showed up on time, and even invited my clients and friends to visit, I was even on a their video campaign. Up Until recently they said I'm no longer allowed me to a vendor with them, and I asked for a reason and they did not give me. I'm not the first that they did this too. I know others who were also vendors with them and now they don't allow us to be apart of HMM. Giving no reasons. It's all strange and sketchy, and inconsistent. They don't like you sharing their application with other vendors. How else will you have business at your market? I guess eventually the vendor will float away from this market if they keep up with this strange behavior. Just be aware my friends!
