"The Artisans of Lauhala In the Hawai‘ian language, lauhala means "leaf." A fourth generation family business, the Kimura Lauahala Shop is more than just a roadside store, it is a landmark of sorts, and a steadfast member of the Holualoa community. The custom made hats, baskets, handbags, placemats, and slippers made for the shop are woven by hand by artisans like they have been for years. The beautifully woven pieces that shoppers take home are great value for the quality of workmanship. Beyond the woven goods, Kimura’s sells local greeting cards, koa wood products like bowls and utensils, and kona coffee."

Beautiful handcrafts. The owner is so very friendly. She has so many wonderful items. Hats, purses, jewelry and so much more. I bought handweaved ornaments for my family and baskets for myself. I love buying from local artisans and this shop should be on your list if you are looking for the same. It was nice to see her weaving while I was visiting.

I went into the shop with my husband& mother inlaw hoping to find my mother inlaw a new papale as hers was on its last leg, she is very picky& said no to everything, but in this shop it's almost impossible to not find something you like, we eventually found the most beautiful papale& even my mother inlaw was happy!

A historic gift shop run by a fourth generation Japanese American family. Very friendly and attentive service. We went to look for a hat for me. Couldn't find one that fit. A very good selection of straw and Panama hats. My wife bought wooden salad servers and bamboo place mats. Well worth a stop!

My husband and I drove up from Kona at the suggestion of my friend Chari, whose Hawaiian and brought a handbag from the shop to work. They are so unique, woven and fully hand lined in Hawaiian prints, with a zip center compartment and bamboo handles. The free coffee pea berries for a sample are delish if they still have them. Go visit, it's real Hawaii.

If what you're looking for is unlike any gift item you've sought, then this place is for you. Handmade, authentic, one of a kind item for that special hard to find gift. Come shop here, you won't be disappointed!

Curious little knick-knack shop at the south end of Holualoa. Fair collection of straw hats. Better yet, both Wai'lua River and Ka'io Kona coffees in the store. Paul's Place has a slightly larger collection of Wai'lua River. But best coffee we tried by far is down further south at the Holualoa Coffee Farm.
