I just checked both stores today. Ala Moana store has a better inventory, but the staff at waikiki store is more friendly. If you know someone you can actually contact them to transfer the items you are interested at to the store before your visit.

Hi

I am planning to visit around Christmas - does anyone know what days they'll be closed? (definitely 25th December?)

I’m pretty sure the Waikiki store is open 365 days a year as all the other stores in Waikiki but the Ala Moana store is definitely closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Hope you have a wonderful time, Christmas is a great time of year to visit.
 
I visited the Waikiki temporary store yesterday. The inventory was excellent for pretty much all items. Tons of bags, small leather goods, shoes, and RTW. The SAs I spoke with said the regular location was planned to be opening in March 2019 and will be three stories tall and will make them a flagship store, "on par with Beverly Hills." The store was fairly busy but every single employee was super warm and helpful.

ETA, the sales tax rate is officially 4.712% for local and state taxes combined. Honolulu also now has a law that stores cannot give you a bag with your purchase unless you pay a 15 cent fee. So if you want a bag be sure to mention it before your SA rings you up otherwise you might need to do a second transaction for 15 cents lol

Will plan to visit next year for sure, thank you for sharing dear❤️

I just booked my ticket for the first week of March, I hope the new store will be open by then. I'd love to check it out!
 
Not hard to get handbags at H waikiki, just look for a sales person called Ellen, she is asian. If you are socialtie, just proof to them by showing photo on news/megazine or google, (you dont have to rich lol) she will list you as top vip. No joke ok! no pre-spening needed, before your visit, Ellen will tell you their stocks, and set aside what you like. 7000usd of shopping is enough to do 3 special orders. isnt it amazing? Mr Ozawa, the director at Waikil is an interesting guy, he doesnt mind why you shop for, as long as you can proof you are celebrity, he will let his SA get nice goodies for you.
I would say H waikiki is paraside for anyone who wanna buy bk, esp for resellers!
I wish I know this before I went. I could’ve dig up old pictures. Ellen was super nice. How should I initiated these conversations?

B30 has been my dream bag but I just got a picotin from Ellen few weeks ago. I wish I can go back to Hawaii soon.

Aloha! I was at Waikiki location couple days ago. They were fully stocked with pretty much everything.

It was a bit slower than usual (basically whole waikiki area felt less crowded than previous visits) but still had customers in and out. During my visit, a lady got a KP, a couple got very dark blue B30 and there was a couple of guys seated right next to me getting a black B30.

I left the store with a CSGM, twillies, a cute but now useless pouch, (thought it would fit mini iPad but it doesn’t) horn pendant, hoodie, sweater, and K25.

Took few shots for u in middle of packing this morning. Thought it would be nice to have diamond head view in the background, but then this happened.

Time of the day was not in my favor so pics came out in shadows even though in reality there was plenty of sun.

So... I ditched the view and voila!

Miss Magnolia is looking very vivid in Hawaiian sun. Almost neon like, kind of doing matchy thing with the piping of Royal Hawaiians furniture. :biggrin:

Hold on... Let me pick my jaw off the ground :drool:

This is my next dream bag!!! Magnolia is everything. Is that PHW? I just Posted a few days ago wondering when Hermes will stop producing magnolia as i have Already bought my quota bag this semester and really don’t want to miss out on it! Congrats on such a beautiful bag! Hopefully we will be twins soon! :loveeyes:

2 rtw items are men’s. I got them with intention of passing out as holiday gifts. But the hoodie, I really like, so I might keep it for myself. Couldn’t find pics on Hermes site for exact item but it’s a hoodie version of their “Brazilian horse” detail. Cardi is very simplified version of what Gucci makes. If you happen to know BTS, I can see V wearing something like it in maybe 20 years later, lol. Material itself is much better than Gucci sweaters though as it’s cashmere and silk.

*. I’m taking off lax now. Would write later
