Missing Polynesia

If I could give Missing Polynesia 6 stars, I would! What a beautiful store! The fabrics are gorgeous, everything is top quality, the store is clean and organized, and you won’t find their products in every store like a lot of places in Hawaii. I loved that everyone there was wearing clothing from the store, so it gave me an idea of how items looked on different shapes and sizes. They have beautiful jewelry, too, and a nice section of shirts for men.
I had to make myself put away about ten things and just get what I came for, but I’ll be back!

I have a few outfits from here and loved their family style atmosphere BUT really disliked the last most important shopping experience there! I bought $ 580.00 worth of outfits that included custom apparel for my Dad’s funeral. Sadly 3 of the 5 customs was ruined after I washed it. I called the store and she told me, I was supposed to hand wash it. She said she told us that but my husband and I KNOW SHE DIDN’T TELL US ANYTHING PERTAINING TO WASHING IT! I asked if we could get a store credit for the 3 garments and She said no because it was our fault so they’re not going to do anything for us. I was and am still very upset! How can they say it was my fault when 3 of the 5 shirts were ruined… I say THEY were at fault for using the wrong type of paint. Making me re-​think the support local, buy local slogan!!!

Again very upset so I got got a message from god. No’s who telling me my pictures I post on here were out dated pictures. I total understand it but. The best thing you can do is take down all your false advertise pictures on your Instagram and please up date it I mean point. Blank its old when people look at your Instagram having high expectation on your beautiful outfit. They dreams are crushed. Again when I walked in I was hoping for what I wanted. To find and it was not in stock. I even left messages on
see if I could put it on hold I really was not in formed that they made custom outfits… But as soon as I came on here and Ex pressing my thoughts thats the only way I got someone to contact me back… I guess in this store the customer Is never right… Thank you…

Great original prints and very limited supply. They have great sales on the older prints as well. I highly recommend coming out here if your tired of the other name brands like Manuhealii or Mamo. These guys are growing fast and are becoming known in the Polynesian wear community. I highly recommend their products as my daughter has several outfits from them. Just dropped 2 bills at this place easy for my wife and daughter.

I frequent this store a bit too often. Haha!
Having worked as a Teller at American Savings Bank, it was part of my job to look professional. Being a proud Hawaiian, incorporating Polynesian attire as a business professional look was necessity. My daily ensemble mostly consisted of this type of attire. On countless occasions I received compliments on my earrings, necklaces, tops, and dresses from customers I later referred to this store.
For me, their store NEVER disappoints. Each and every time I walk in I am greeted. I’m the type of shopper that doesn’t like to be checked on constantly. I know my own style, and I can pick out my items without assistance from the courteous employees here. They always talk story with my daughter, which is greatly appreciated. It’s also nice that they’re an ohana oriented establishment.
I notice many people comment on their prices. Allow me to offer my opinion, IT’S WORTH IT! The prices on her clothes & accessories may seem steep, but the quality, design, and feel of these items are well deserving of the monetary value displayed.
I will continue to frequent this store as they have yet to let me down! Mahalo nui loa!

Friendly and helpful staff!
Beautiful and unique Polynesian apparel for women, men, and children. They also have Polynesian jewelry, accessories, and handbags!
Their sizes run a little larger, so if you’ve got a little extra cush, don’t worry, you will find something here! The women’s sizes come in size 1 or size 2, size one fits most from Small-​XL and size two is XXL and larger.
They are located in the behind of Cutter Ford Aiea, past Fabric Mart. They are in the last row of stores, closest to the water. You have one hour of free parking if you choose to park in that row.
They have an Instagram that they keep updated regularly! @missingpolynesia

I don’t know why people were complaining about the service here. I just stopped by Missing Polynesia for the first time ever. The service was PERFECT! I was greeted as soon as I walked in. One girl told me what size I should look for, and she started to help me find outfits. I tried on a few that I wasn’t too excited about. So, she offered to put them away for me, and she gave me other outfits to try on. I took my time, and the girl was so patient with me. Another girl checked me out. She was just as sweet. In the end, I walked out with 2 outfits and a smile. The only bad thing I have to say is that the selection was small. I fell in love with one outfit, but they didn’t have it in my size. If the owner is reading this, please make more HOT, but modest Poly clothing for me. Thanks!

Missing Polynesia has some intriguing prints in women clothing. It caught my attention from across the parking lot. I just had to check it out.
I agree with everyone else about their women clothing being made of soft material. I didn’t look at the labels but it felt like rayon. The men clothing, however, felt kind of crusted. They have a very small selection for men. Their jewelry selection is pretty. It felt like I was at Swap Meet. The pricing is sore to my eyes. The clothing is expensive ($ 60 for one particular top.) Their products must be worth it though if people keep going back. I’m someone who’s always on the look out for deals. You definitely don’t see much women wearing Polynesian prints.
I had a bad experience here. From the moment I walked in to the moment I walked out, the employees made no interaction with me at all. No one welcomed me, asked me how I am, asked me if I’m finding everything ok or if I need any help. They didn’t even tell me thank you for stopping by, have a nice day. I basically walked around the store without any help while they talked amongst each other. They did not acknowledge my presence. How do they expect me to buy anything? It’s sad to say I think they judged me by my appearance. I was dressed very causal today so maybe they thought I didn’t have money. Regardless of how a customer looks, we deserve to be helped.
I didn’t buy anything. I definitely will not be going back. They offered no customer service at all. I don’t recommend going here.

Missing Polynesia, only polynesian clothing shop that I shop at! Great one of the kind designs that you cannot find anywhere else. Quality is great too. First time I bought from Missing Polynesia was at TahitiFete of San Jose — and then I haven’t seen them since.
Luckily last year I went to Hawaii and went to their shop in Aiea. Great shop with a variety of designs of dresses, tunics, and jewelry! My sister and I are in love with your shop — and service is top notch. I believe we spent more than $ 300 at the store. Plus they are 49ers FANS! Which is a 10 star! I only buy my fashion jewelry here because quality is superb and designs are original.
Will def be back when I’m in town!

MP offers beautiful, unique, top of the line Polynesian designs that you can’t find anywhere else! I guarantee you won’t be caught out w/​an identical top as another lady. Once they sell out of a particular style, they usually don’t restock. So get it before it sells out.
Also, the fabric is oh so comfy (high quality) although size 1 in certain styles can run big (for those who are size S/​M like myself.)
However, I find it super hard to shop here for just one item. You’ll literally end up leaving w/​a whole new wardrobe!
Also, MP staff is very helpful, friendly and kind. Quick to assist and answer any questions you may have. This is one of my fave local retail shops, and I’ll continue to shop here as long as MP keeps bringing in those FAB prints!!!

Came in looking for a matching outfit for my family. I was looking for something trendy but not so «cliché.» I wanted something special and didn’t want to be worried if someone else was wearing the same thing as us. This place is above and beyond! Love their «2» sizes deal for women’s clothing. The styles are very flattering for full figured women. I didn’t only buy clothes for my family but for my extended family as well. The material breathes well, the colors are vibrant, the styles are trendy. The mens shirts are light and my husband actually wore it the whole day and into the night. Not once did he complain about his shirt being «too hot.» Also, their leggings are FANTASTIC. I wish I could buy one of each color! :)

I needed to buy a new dress for an event and a coworker suggested Missing Polynesia in Aiea. I had never heard of them so she sent me the link to their Facebook photos and I really liked the prints and styles! I also realized I had seen some friends and coworkers in some of the outfits and had never known where it was from. Facebook didn’t have the prices so I of course had to see for myself and went during my lunch break.
The place wasn’t too hard to find. It’s behind Cutter Ford Aiea in the last building on the left (it’s blue). If you see a parking attendant then you’re in the right direction. Parking is free for the first hour and $ 1.50 each additional ½ hour I believe. Turn left past the attendant and the shop is on the left.
When I walked in I was immediately greeted by two Polynesian women and was asked if I was looking for anything in particular. I replied, «yes a dress.» She immediately put me in a fitting room and started handing me dresses. WOW! She asked if I had any preference in color or length and continued to provide me with options. She didn’t make me feel ashamed of my size or self conscious in any way and all the dresses she gave me fit. I was ready with the dress I wanted in less than 15 minutes!
The dresses I tried on were priced between $ 60 – 75 but it’s sort of the average price or even less than what you’d pay going to Hilo Hatties, Kealopiko, or Manuhealii. I didn’t get a chance to look at some of the other outfits they had to offer as I was too focused on my dress but I did see that a lot of the men’s dress shirts were around $ 40 which is pretty cheap considering the colors! The feel of their fabric was really nice too! Very wearable clothing.
I highly recommend this place for the excellent customer service and beautiful clothes!

Missing Polynesia traveled to San Diego for this years Pacific Islander Festival. I was soo happy they did. I bought a beautiful Tunic. I only wish I bought more of their apparel. The fabric is so soft! I will definitely visit this store the next time I am in Oahu or when they come back to California.
Definitely follow Missing Polynesia on Facebook and/​or Instagram

Wooooo darlin this place is AWESOME! Missing Polynesia offers hot, original and unique polynesian fashion. And I LOVE IT!!! I always make sure to take visiting family and friends here and they always love it as well. There is always more and more variety in styles, prints, and colors. Another thing I appreciate is that they have an array of sizes, so plus size girls dont get left out. I have bought a number of things here and always feel comfortable in them. And I always get compliments for the Poly designs and colors.
On top of all of that the customer service is top notch. The owner is very welcoming and kind, and very personable. I have only met her a few times while at the shop but shes such a sweet person. I dont know how many boutique owners come and welcome their customers and takes the time to talk story with them.
Love this place, and I suggest it to EVERYONE! Check it out, its not just for Polynesians. AND its something different!
Also I had to mention this because I am a sucker for local businesses, but you are supporting local businesses!

I LOVEEEE this place. They have so much cute dresses, rompers and tops I was overwhelmed. I ended up buying 3 dresses which was everything I tried on. I’m going back in a few weeks because I want to get the cute rompers and tops that I saw. One of the hardest things is choosing a color because there is a wide variety of colors and if you love colors they have it.
The customer service is really great here, the owner Meilin is such a sweetie and very friendly.

The best in new island wear! I dress celebs for a living and Missing Polynesia is the brand i choose for the younger hip island singers. I hate traditional aloha wear it makes everyone look fat and the fabrics are stiff. Missing Polynesia is good on all body types and is soft and cool to wear. GO TO MISSING POLYNESIA NOW.

I have noticed their tops and dresses just by seeing them on people around me at public places like the mall. It hasn’t been a common thing to have native polynesian print/​designs on modern and contemporary cut clothing (especially for women). Super cute!
Although I haven’t visited this place for myself yet, I rate this place a four just for taking that initiative and risk. Go POLYNESIA=)
