Best of HONOLULU 2025: Shopping on O‘ahu

EDITOR PICK

Place to Buy Vintage Mu‘umu‘u

Off the beaten path in Kaka‘ako you’ll find DeStash Hawai‘i, nestled in a nondescript two-story building on South Street. Don’t be fooled by its unassuming exterior—inside awaits an exuberant array of vintage and secondhand alohawear, including mu‘umu‘u and aloha shirts. Owner Lei Batty, who opened the shop in 2018, has an eye for special pieces. We’ve come across gems from Princess Ka‘iulani, Bete Inc. and Liberty House, along with rare defunct labels. The shop recently expanded into the space next door, doubling both its footprint and your chances to take home something amazing. —BT
