After three years in Kaka‘ako, Andrew Mau’s charming Island-Boy boutique finally outgrew its small nook inside Fishcake and relocated to Kaimukī late last year. Lined in neon flowers, the blink-and-miss-it entrance is nestled between The Local General Store and Keep It Simple.

Inside the expansive 1,500-square-foot space with concrete floors and soaring ceilings, Mau’s artsy gift and home items, floral arrangements, clothing and vintage wares have ample room to breathe. Along with Island-Boy staples, such as Oshan Essentials skin care, Lindquist bags and Mau’s own Mau-House line, keep an eye out for recent additions, including Hawaiian Vinegar and Spice Co. shrubs, Honoka‘a Chocolate Co. treats and exquisite shibori fashions from Japanese label Eleven Eleven.
