Central and West O‘ahu Lexbreezy Hawai‘i fans will now have an easier time shopping Alexis Akiona’s alohawear in person as the Native Hawaiian designer opened her third boutique last week at Pearlridge Center.

Call Me Unni

After years of selling on Depop and via pop-ups, local vintage boutique Call Me Unni now has a permanent storefront in Moili‘ili. Scoop up Y2K and ’90s apparel and accessories (we’re fans of the shop’s sunglasses section) and keep an eye on its social media for event announcements as owner Misa frequently hosts pop-ups for local makers and other vintage curators.
