Makawao On Our Mind

Aloha friend,

We’ve been dreaming of an Upcountry Maui escape for a while now, to explore Alii Kula Lavender with the kiddos, admire the art at Jordanne Gallery, shop along Baldwin Avenue in Makawao, and enjoy a girls’ dinner at Marlow in Pukalani—to name just a few.

So, below, you’ll find a few of those must-stop shops in Makawao, and as always, a list of curated events. Plus, learn more about how the community has come together to honor the beautiful legacy of a beloved Maui daughter, wife, mom, friend, creative, maker, etc.

Cheers,

The Edit Hawaii team

Must-Stop Shops in Makawao

This historic Maui town is one of the most charming and chock-full of well-curated boutiques—some of which have been there for decades. Along the one main commercial street, Baldwin Ave., artsy, authentic paniolo vibes abound. And because Makawao is at a higher elevation, these shops even carry cozy, cool-weather staples we sometimes crave!

The owners of Âme Maui Paris reside in Hawaii and Paris, which allows them to bring a unique mix of fashion, accessories, and handcrafted home and gift items to this chic shop.

Holoholo Surf is a surf-inspired shop and the flagship store for Posh Pua Swimwear. Visit for the brand's in-house aloha wear, custom surfboards, artwork, and more. The whole store has a warm, vintage Hawaii vibe we adore.

We’ve shared our appreciation for The Monarch Collective in previous newsletters. Expect a chic selection of fine jewelry, one-of-a-kind art, ceramics, and more. This thoughtfully curated boutique showcases small batch artisans, including Hawai‘i’s community of creatives. You’ll discover more than 30 brands from across the islands.

Peruse fashion-forward pieces and bohemian styles from Acacia, Benoa Swim, Z Supply, and Jen’s Pirate Booty at Driftwood Maui. The lifestyle boutique also carries a variety of accessories like stylish hats from Gigi Pip, and homewares like candles, crystals and edibles.

Holiday & Co. is like stepping into a comfy, well-curated closet where sweaters, leather goods and hats reign supreme. Located inside the historic Matsui Store, the shop oozes the rustic charm of the surrounding neighborhood. We especially love knitwear from The Great. and Demylee New York, and effortless pieces from Xirena.

A Beautiful Legacy
After the tragic passing of Perri Ricci—the beloved visionary behind the Maui-based jewelry Puka Perri and The Monarch Collective boutique—a dedicated group of family and friends are continuing her vision and starting a new chapter in her honor. Puka Perri now offers existing designs and has reopened made-to-order pieces, and they’ve brought back The Puka Project, a cherished initiative that promotes healing through community. Shop the stunning shell jewelry and learn more about Perri’s legacy here. And don’t forget to hug your loved ones…
