The Best Shopping in Maui
The island of Maui is full of unique souvenirs, from muumuus to malasadas (Portuguese doughnuts).

Fashionistas can also look forward to original designs at Kūlua and the Monarch Collective, while those seeking something a little simpler will want to hit the Maui Swap Meet and Olowalu General Store.
