Aloha! I went out yesterday to visit 5 second-hand stores in
Honolulu, all in varying degrees of consignment of high end merchandise. There were massive
amounts of designer bags, wallets, luggage, shoes from Chanel,
Michael Kors, Gucci, you name it. I've never found so many
Manolo Blahnik and Coach shoes in one spot, all in the $120-135 range
and most in excellent condition. Thank god the shoes didn't fit.
I took a few photos, my favorite being the first one at
1. The Clothes Chick (415 Kapahulu, www.theclotheschick.com, no email). She's
showcasing her designer bags in Aloha style ~ barefoot!
2. Glam Rok (449 Kapahulu, no website, no email), was a little
hole in the wall with some amazing things in a small space.
3. Consignment Corner (4218 Waialae, roselee9@hawaii.rr.com)
had a nondescript storefront, but the interior held major treasures.
4. Pzazz [only 1 vowel] (4211 Waialae, info@pzazzhawaii.com)
was bright and sunny and fun, with every rack and every shelf holding marvels
of someone's great travels and haute couture. Bliss was behind the counter and
embodied Hawaiian spirit with her cheerful enthusiasm and expert knowledge of
her wares.
5. Paris Station (4211 Waialae, info@parisstation.com)
was run by a young girl with no authority to give permission for photos, but
her shop was a veritable museum of designer goods in a most beautiful, artistic
display.
I ended my afternoon with a gorgeous wool sheath and my new favorite outfit
~ a beautiful floral skirt from one shop and a matching pure silk, orange
blouse from another, all for less than $50 total.
