Designing Wahine Emporium is an absolute treasure and super cute shop in the heart of Makawao. It is an absolutely beautiful store, well merchandised and very nicely organized. The shop is filled with a beautiful selection of historic, local, and functional art, and lovely household goods that capture the spirit of Maui. They have jam-packed their store with high quality and well-curated items, ranging from baby outfits and toys to candles, Christmas ornaments, and Aloha-themed clothing. It’s a great place to shop for a present if you want to be inspired. The employees are nice, very helpful and accommodating. One note of caution is that the smell or perfuming inside can be very strong and overwhelming. Also, while they stock many local products, it is about 50/50 with items from mainland brands, so check tags if shopping specifically for local goods. Prices are fair, and you can sometimes snag a great deal on the sale rack.
Super cute shop with Historic, local and functional art and household goods. Olfactory sensitive caution! The smell or perfuming inside was so strong that it was overwhelming and gave me a headache.
