Located next to Rolex on the ground floor of international marketplace. A lot of cool and pretty stuff inside the store. I always find koa wood beautiful and I'm glad there's a store selling things made from Hawaiian koa that is sustainably sourced (from downed trees). I was mainly interested in the jewelry and there were a lot of beautiful pieces. I love the linked bracelet with wood and rose gold, very elegant and unique. The earrings were handmade by an artist called Shannon from specially polished wood to reveal its fascinating chatoyancy (cat's eye effect like in some gemstones) resulting from thin, dense fibers in the wood all aligned in one direction. I've seen plenty of chatoyant gemstones, but it's my first time on a piece of wood! I knew I had to buy and wear them haha. There's also a more girly plumeria bracelet made from koa as well. I spent a lot of time in the jewelry section and didn't really get to browse other things in detail, oops. Next time. Also they offer kama'aina discount. Make sure you mention that and show your ID for it. One of the staff there said they're opening up a new store in Ala Moana soon too. Excited to see the new opening!

Stepped into this local store located in the International Marketplace First Floor. What caught my attention was initially the name of the store. Koa Wood Ranch. I admire Koa wood bowls, boxes, frames and more. The deep wood tones and unique grain tones attracts you to this rare local grown wood. Koa only grows in Hawaii and has played a significant role in ancient Hawaiian history.From KoaWood Ranch website:"KoaWood Ranch is a Hawaiian based retail gift, souvenir, and resort wear fashion store. Rooted in Koa tree forestry conservation, KoaWood Ranch is uniquely Hawaiian and inspired by the forest. The store offers Koa wood products and Hawaii Island themed items that include home decor, jewelry, t-shirts, watches, posters, and fine island souvenirs. Customer purchases help support the storeʻs efforts to rehabilitate the native Ohia and Koa forest in Hawaii. Proceeds go directly to the Koa conservation program. Because of customers like you, KoaWood Ranch can plant trees, better the planet, and help save the Hawaiian Koa forest."This sounds is a great program to cultivate and ensure the reforestation of koa trees. Support local. Shop local. Kristie informed me that the costs are kept reasonable at the store due to the reforestation and conservation model of the business.

Check out this place for sustainable (Hawaiian law is very strict about logging koa trees) koa wood products - they have great customer service as well. I appreciate supporting local Hawaiian artists using a wood that's unique to Hawaii. My only grips is their clock selection was on the smaller side - I was looking for a mantle clock and they had mostly desk or wall clocks. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a unique Hawaiian souvenir.
