Aloha Lane — Local services in Honolulu

Thanks to the lovely saleswoman at Ala Moana Center's Auana Quilts for her directions to Aloha Lane as we continued our baby shower gift shopping. We went here specifically in search of traditional designed Hawaiian quilted baby blanket or accessory for the mother-to-be. Lucky us, Aloha Lane is advertising a 20% Discount on All Bed Covers and walking in, they also have a sale of their other items.

We were greeted immediately by a friendly saleswoman who gave a short tour of the store as she pointed out her inventory of baby blankets. She even unfolded a couple of them so we could see the complete designs and feel the workmanship. Although, these baby blankets were cute I didn't think they looked traditional but they were well made.

She pointed us over to some bed covers which were on sale and the traditional designs were more attractive to me. Interestingly, the differences between the bed cover and baby blanket were: 1-bed covers feature hand stitching but were a foot shorter and 6" wider than the baby blankets and 2-the baby blankets showed more machine sewing stitching hence more durable for extra washings with baby.

The sale bedcovers were priced about $15 more than the baby blankets which weren't on sale. Well, in our judgement (as a childless couple), we chose the bedcover for its value and workmanship.

We were glad that the other quilt store pointed us in the direction of Aloha Lane as we are happy with our purchase and received excellent service. Well, we're off to find another smaller gift and will wrap the gifts for sending off.

If you're looking for well-made traditional and modern Hawaiian gifts (I didn't look for edibles so I cannot say if they have any), I'd...

awesome little shop run by fantastic people, check it out! not only are the items extremely high quality, but the saleswoman at the counter saved the day when she helped guide me through some high value purchases, even wrapped them up nicely as gifts, and when she rang me up i was so tired that i forgot to pick the gift up before walking away and assumed they were already in my bag! i would never have noticed, but she ran and managed to find me before it was too late, literally going the extra mile for me. i can't recommend this store enough if you want high quality unique items found nowhere else with...

My experience at this store. The lady at the front counter stopped what she was doing to come stand next to me and stare as I browsed through the dresses. She did not ask me if I needed help. I had to turn to her and let her know I don’t need help. Then she stood off to the side and pretended not to watch me while there were other ethnicities walking around her store freely not being watched. I am an African American female and I’m tired of it. I won’t be shopping here! If I can afford to bring my entire family to Honolulu I can afford a dress...
