The Honolulu Fashion Scene

Honolulu is the largest Hawaiian city and one of the 50 largest cities in the U.S. It attracts more visitors each year than any other place in Hawaii, so the retail industry is thriving. In fact, the retail industry employs well over 100,000 workers, and retail sales amount to billions per year. The retail scene is so magnetic here that it has attracted upscale designers such as Chanel, Hermes, Prada, Hermes, Gucci, Hugo Boss, Coach, Kate Spade, and Louis Vuitton, to name a few. This has made Hawaii—mainly Honolulu’s Waikiki area, a world-class destination for upscale retail.
