» Petit at the Royal

Nestled off to the side at the Royal Hawaiian is a swank storefront showing off contemporary, hard-to-find fashion labels. It’s not for women, it’s for kids! The kids clothing and accessory boutique is filled with small, unheard-of, international brands that specialize in the big oohs and ahhs of kids’ clothing. Take, for instance, Monikako’s wildly adventurous tees and rompers printed with arty safari animal sketches, and Bang Bang Copenhagen’s array of playful, circus-chic everyday wear, both of which suit both boys and girls perfectly. A must-have assortment of Boy Sunday knitted plush dolls and cottage-like pillows have little visitors smiling big! 2259 Kalakaua Ave., The Royal Hawaiian: A Luxury Collection Resort. 921-2125.
