Fabric Mart: Home to the Coolest Souvenirs in Waikīkī!

Oahu • April 30, 2019

Here’s a dilemma that most visitors to Hawai‘i can relate to: your vacation is winding down, you want to get something for all your family and friends back home, but you’ve already spent a lot of money and you only have so much room in your luggage.

Today we’re going to turn you on to an amazing discovery— Fabric Mart on Kalākaua Avenue, right at the edge of Waikīkī. Now, you may be surprised to learn—like we were—that Fabric Mart sells more than just bolts of fabric, sewing patterns, needles and thread. They also sell a variety of items that both visitors and locals will appreciate, that are both practical and can make for great souvenirs, too.

The best part? Not only are these items reasonably priced, but they will also pack easily!

For starters, Fabric Mart has an array of beautiful beach bags that will make you the envy of fellow beachgoers here, or at the local swim club back home. There is a large selection of prints and styles, and they’re only $20 for a medium sized bag, $24 for the large.
