The female working there was very rude and their garments were overpriced but very low quality

I knew Anne many years ago when her and her sister joined the Karate Association of Hawaii dojo where I trained and taught for many years in Pucks Alley. I take notice from a posting by Al A. on the C/S she and her friends received when they visited and purchased a very expensive item and the treatment received. Understanding the business, Anne may have blown potential customers on this particular day but that is the way Ms Anne is. She loves her friends of which she has many and if you feel left out it's because of this attitude she has towards friendship. That being said, my question is on her ability to feel the inside feeling of her position in life. She married one haole from Oregon with a famous name but not a very famous person in real life, ex-navy man who retired from the navy, spent many years working in New York City (capital of alot of bullsh*t). She started her business in her mom's home and grew from there into a world renowned business for which she deserves. Having her first shop on East Manoa Road and then moving to her present location is such a funny thing. I grew up not two blocks from her store, Auahi and Koula Streets, back in the early 50's. The old Honolulu Lumber yard was our backyard playground, Kewalo Basin was our swimming pool and Ala Moana was our campgeound. So many memories of that place and the destruction of the surrounding areas today is unbelievable. Anne and I dated for several years until something happened that basically destroyed our presence of togetherness. When family members interfere only one thing can happen, separation, pain and hurt. Do I remember everything, you bet. Life has gone on but memories still exist along with other supporting factors. Ms Anne is a very good person and I wish her nothing but good and I pass on my condolences for the passing of her parents whom I respected but did not really enjoy being around. It's like one never forgets that very first kill in combat, of which I have many while serving in Vietnam for two tours. I remember the letter I wrote to her back in 73 about my divorce (the cause) and my kids, this threw her sister Nodie into a mean tantrum fit but we survived the issues for a little while. When one takes the life of another whether in combat or whatever, that life will follow you forever-so I have many in my head and regret my actions but I do not hate that I did what I had to to survive. I wanted to send her a letter or email but when I discovered her husband is controlling her emails I decided to post. For the public and AL A, trust Anne to do you right and don't let the little things in life get to you because you are not the only one alive in this crazy world we live in now. Much Aloha and always remember life is to short to get angry.

Huge fan! Bought a number of things recently as a gift to myself for achieving a bunch of goals this year. I bought evening wear and things I will wear to work. I get tons of compliments on every single outfit each time I wear it. But, most importantly to me, these are the most elegant, comfortable, great for travel, great for any occasion clothes I own! (Plus, they sell fabulous, one-of-a-kind costume jewelry that compliments their clothes perfectly.)

The first time I saw an Anne Namba outfit was at a small shop at the Halekulani. That was many years ago. I am hooked. Anne's sense of fashion is superb. The fabrics that she uses in her wonderful designs are found in no other shop in the world. I have never worn an Anne Namba piece that did not evoke a compliment. You can be assured that Anne will be certain that you walk out with the perfect look and fit for you. I have purchased numerous jackets, tops, silk pants, outfits and dresses over the years. Her stunning designs and fabrics are timeless. Bravo Anne!
