This & That, August Edition
Kamaaina specials, new launches, fun events.
Aloha friend,
How is it mid-August already?! In case you missed it, HONOLULU Magazine came out with its Best of Honolulu roundup. And we also recently stumbled upon Maui Magazine’s Aipono Awards. Both are great features to reference if you’re looking to shake up your routine.
If you’re looking to island hop or just a staycation, check out HVCB’s revitalized Kamaaina Special Offers program, where you’ll find exclusive deals on accommodations, activities, dining, shopping and transportation.
And beginning in October, Shangri La is expanding its access to Doris Duke’s incredible collection, and offering special kamaaina pricing. The October tour tickets go on sale September 4, so mark your calendars.
As always, more events and happenings below.
Have fun,
The Edit Hawaii team

Hilo lifestyle brand MANAWA is launching its quick-dry, sand-free towels tomorrow, August 16. So cute, so practical.
We’re intrigued by House of Pacific—is it homewares, is it fashion? We don’t know, but can’t wait to find out.
Mint Jewelry just launched its first collection in 5 years, and we’re especially loving the playful chunky statement necklaces made with African glass beads, cone shells, pearls, and more.
Surf Camp just released its Summer Capsule Collection, and it’s effortlessly cool, as usual.
