Pili Pacific

Walking through Ward Center these beautiful shirts caught my eye! The shirts are made by a local artist, Herman Pi'ikea Clark and brother, John runs the stores. Beautiful linen and silk shirts with a great profile and design. The shirts are carefully sewn with all of the print matching and French seams. Beautiful colors and combinations. They also offer women's dresses, tops and scarves. Right now they are located just outside of Bed, Bath and Beyond and will soon be opening a larger space near Paul Brown's in the same building. Be sure and stop by. I know this will be my go to place for my husband's shirts!

The most beautiful and well made aloha shirts. Mine is European linen with killer design and French seams. The price is painful but they gave us a gift card for next purchase that will substantially lower the price. These are really worth saving up for. They have lighter weight silk shirts too. My other favorites are Seaplane & Tori Richard. Up to size 5X!

Today when I walked past Pili Pacific one of their prints caught my eye. I was greeted by the very friendly owner of the shop. He explained to me that their line began with men aloha shirts. They started off and sold their shirts at Neiman Marcus. About a year ago they opened their very own shop and began venturing into women clothing in addition to their men aloha shirts. I tried on a lovely dress but unfortunately it was a bit too small for me. He was very interested in how it fit me and how they could make it fit better. Hanging on the side they had a sample of a dress that they designed based off of input they received from their costumers. I appreciate how costumer centered they are and open minded. Even though I walked out empty handed this evening I am looking forward to visiting this shop again to see what other exciting designs and styles they create. Speaking of designs, each design has its own story/name that they'd be happy to share with you! Very happy to see more local vendors and having more aloha wear options!

Beautiful fabrics, thoughtful design with strong cultural meaning, excellent manufacture and even mother of peal buttons. Everything you want in a high quality aloha garment.
