The Vintage Hawaii

September 26, 2024 - A well organized small shop that has a wide variety of old everything. Friendly staff A small dressing roomParking is tough. Do not park in the small one way lot (with diagonal parking spaces) that is really close by or your vehicle will get towed (even from the handicap space)! Cost me $118.

We stumbled across this vintage store after stopping at the Surfer's Coffee Shop that my friend wanted to introduce me to. We hardly ever get to Wahiawa to walk around and this was one of those Saturdays where we wanted to explore,My friend is sooo into vintage Aloha Shirts and they had a good selection at decent prices. He ended up purchasing two at $20 each, both were in great condition and not the "run of the mill" stuff. We did have a great chat wtih the very personable owner who gave us a tour of the building which was purchased by their non-profit. We were very impressed with the apartments behind the store front where many of the volunteers are housed along with their facilities for homeless. They had restrooms and showers that the homeless could use (they were timed entry) along with a pantry where food was distributed. They also had classrooms including an art and dance room to get troubled younger people interested and out of the streets.It's great to know you are helping a good cause when you are shopping!

My wife and I were finally able to visit this antique store on the second to the last day of our vacation. My wife loves finding unique jewelry whenever we travel. She found a couple of earrings and I actually found a vintage Olympic trading card of a gold medal winner in the 1976 Summer Olympics in swimming who was in the same undergraduate class as me. Wahiawa is such a quaint little town and it is great that tourists rarely make it out there. the staff at The Vintage Hawaii were very friendly and it was such a joy to visit this store.

Second time I've tried to come here. First time they had a sign that they would be back in 15, so we waited and over 45 minutes later they still weren't back.Came again today during business hours and they had a sign that said they would be back at 10:00 AM. It was 1:00 PM and no one was there.Really annoying to go out of our way to come here and it's never open when they say they will be.

AHHHHH i love love love this store so much! We stumbled upon this shop, which is along the strip of other adorable shops on Kamehameha Hwy in Wahiawa. There's a wide variety of all sorts of vintage items - women & men's clothes, bags, baskets, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches, silverware, vinyls, cups & plates, dolls, kimonos, postcards, etc. The prices are pretty reasonable. I found a Tommy Bahama blazer for $22 and my bf found a beautiful aloha shirt for $20. They have a small fitting room in the back of the store. The owners were SUPER sweet and talked story with us while we were paying, and seemed very down to earth.

Although I would love to give The Vintage a 5 star I'm not able to do so. I was expecting a vintage store to be a lot less expensive. The "vintage" items were way over priced. My husband picked out a shirt with pineapples. When I saw the price, I told him let's look at other stores before we committed to buying it because it was $27.99. I picked up a couple of pineapple decor and we went right back to the shirt. I ended up buying it. Now, I gave the store a 2 star because the ladies were super sweet and friendly. When we left, something told me to google the brand of the shirt I purchased. I could of gotten the shirt brand new for $25 bucks. For used clothes that aren't "vintage" the inflation of prices is not ok. I saw books in there that were $10 dollars. There are used books, some pages had writing on it, some dirty. I would never pay for used books at full price. I only bought the pineapple decor because I didn't want to visit and not buy anything. We were in the store for awhile looking. This was the first and last time I'll ever visit unfortunately. The customer service alone would want me to come back but the prices are a no no no!!

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.

i loved visiting! great service & friendly workers who complimented my friends and i. parking is a bit likited and prices were a bit high, but that's relatively normal right now. they had a great mix in their selection of hand-picked vintage clothes, books, trinkets, dishware, etc - probably one of the best antique stores i've visited, a gem of wahiawā!

Cute non profit vintage store with a wide selection of vintage items. They have everything from hairbrushes, hats, clothes, records and display items. The store is well taken care of and the owner is very friendly. They also offer hand sanitizer at the entrance during covid-19. Parking: There's limited parking out front with a lot in the back as well.

Lovely little shop. The owners are super friendly and will help you look for anything specific. I would say the prices are super reasonable, and they have a wide selection. Don't go for looking for clothing, it's not worth it. But everything else is super cool. Lots of clothing and things for kids. I left empty handed but that was just because nothing was screaming at me
