I can always count on Naupaka to make me the perfect custom fitted dresses. Darlene's designs are comfortable, stylish and unique. I always receive lots of compliments when I wear them. My most recent order included a men's shirt and to my surprise she even matched up the design in the front where the shirt opens. Darlene is so talented! Stop by her shop and see for yourself or check out her online store. I don't live on the island but when I visit I always order a dress and she ships it to me.

We found this store during our Big Island vacation. The owner was so nice and helpful. I picked a pair of Nalu pants that were custom made in the fabric I chose. They just arrived in the mail today and are so beautiful and fit perfectly! I love the fact that these clothes are made to order and don't come from China or some other area with cheap labor practices. I can feel great about my purchase, knowing I supported a local business.

My wife and I strolled down Kamehameha avenue checking out all the shops. What I really enjoy about this street is how local the shops are. Naupaka Island Designs is no exception. High quality (yes, that means you'll pay more) products that will be great for you or for gifts back home. Support small and support local!

My wife and I recently stopped in downtown Hilo to do some shopping for some authentic Hawaiian clothes, we are from New England so our clothing is kinda boring. We came across this little shop full of authentic Hawaiian shirts and dresses, then come to find out that they are all crafted by locals for the store. You can feel the passion of the owner as she describes the process that the shirts and dress go through from pattern selection to on the rack for display. While my wife didn't end up getting anything I did purchase a shirt.

We first found Naupaka Island Designs when spending a lazy day in Hilo in the spring of 2016. We loved their designs and I got a great Aloha shirt that I've loved wearing. I just ordered a second shirt from them and it fits as well as and is made with the same quality as the first. Plus its great to know its a locally made shirt.

Recently stayed in Hilo for two months and visited Naupaka and loved their designs. I bought a couple of beautiful tops, and then my husband and I special ordered matching blouse and shirt which the owner was so kind to have ready for us right before we left the island. We are already looking forward to our visit next year and will definitely be stopping in to order something new. Thank you
