I've been a fan of Mr. Vuitton's over-priced goods since I was in junior high. I guess I was fascinated with the history, quality, price, and exclusivity of it all. I spent more allowance money here than I did after I had my own income.
This store's humble beginnings started where the Apple Store is currently located, though the original footprint was only about 1/4 of it. It was a simple boutique, a single aisle with counters & displays on either side. What I remember most was the scent of leather as soon as you entered. My first purchase was a keychain with coin holder in Monogram, which was about $120 back in the late 80's. From then on, I went buck wild, expanding to the Epi line with a check book holder, wallets, small goods and a Keepall 45 in Monogram, a slender wallet in Damier Graphite and finally a sling backpack in the same.
That aroma is long gone now in their current behemoth corner spot. What started out at 1 level is now a 2 level museum boutique. It's very spacious and still evokes the brand's luxury. I even saw the man I bought all my products from still working there back in 2015 but I think he's since retired. I especially love the antique trunks on display, though I have yet to see an original trunk in Damier canvas, which any LV buff knows, was his last creation before he died. Any designs after that were of his son's, starting with the infamous Monogram.
I've visited the flagship store in Paris, where there is a line to get in. Very impressively huge. It's almost the size of a city block.
A few of my pieces have really deteriorated unfortunately, mainly due to Hawaii's humidity I guess. The interior leather parts of my checkbook holder and clutch, both in Monogram, melted. If you rub your finger on it, it smears off in a reddish-black goo. Funny thing is my checkbook holder in Epi is fine. I took them to the store in Whaler's Village where I got quoted a repair price. Being that the goods are older, I didn't go through with it, and nothing lasts or is guaranteed forever. My other pieces are pristine, even 20 years later.

Madison is very kind and patient, answering all my questions, inquiries, and curiosity about various products. Having this experience with her is exactly why this store is still and always will be my top favorite location in HI and mainland.

My daughter and I were so excited to visit the Ala Moana LV. Our excitement immediately turned to disappointment as the moment we entered the door we were treated like we weren't worth the staffs time or energy.
I inquired about passport covers and the exclusive Hawaii stamps. Our SA, Hazel, immediately became disinterested when she learned that was "all we were interested in". She asked how long we were in town for, and then told me it would take 3 days to have our items embossed and I would have to pick them up at that time. We are leaving in 2 days, so that seemed a bit suspicious. When I asked if there was any way to ship, or to expedite, she told me no and then asked "do you need more help or no?" in a totally dismissive way.
My daughter and I left feeling pretty low.
Luckily, we saw a review for the Waikiki location and tried over there this afternoon. 100% different experience!! We purchased personalized passport holders AND 2 bags.
We'll never bother with Ala Moana again.
