FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 02, 2021

Waikīkī – Royal Hawaiian Center continues to expand its tenant mix with the second location of popular, locally-owned vintage clothing retailer Harbors Vintage, which opened on Thursday, July 1, 2021.

“Harbors Vintage is a welcome addition to the lineup of merchants at Royal Hawaiian Center with its selection of vintage and collectible clothing, which will be highly appealing to local residents and visitors alike,” said Marleen Akau, Vice President, General Manager of Royal Hawaiian Center.

What started as a hobby for Arik Ma while he pursued a business degree from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, turned into a successful entrepreneurial venture. Ma launched Harbors Vintage in 2016 with online sales and pop-up shops before opening his first brick-and-mortar shop in 2018. Harbors Vintage steadily grew its online following and has gained its share of celebrity fans, including popstar Justin Bieber and his wife, model Hailey Bieber.

“We pride of ourselves in carrying a wide range of pieces that will appeal to everyone from Gen Z to Baby Boomers, and there’s no better place than Royal Hawaiian Center for Harbors Vintage’s next location,” said Ma. “Whether you’re looking for a vintage aloha shirt for the office, a graphic t-shirt reminiscent of your high school days, or street wear that expresses your unique personality, Harbors Vintage has something that’s new to you.”

The 867-square foot Harbors Vintage store specializes vintage t-shirts, including Hawai‘i-related designs, band tour shirts, souvenir shirts from the 80s and 90s, sports teams, and more. The shop also carries vintage aloha wear for men and women, streetwear from brands such as Supreme, vintage trucker and baseball hats, and footwear. Vintage pieces are unique and often one-of-a-kind. With new inventory added daily, there is always something different for customers to find.

Harbors Vintage is located in Building C, Level 1 and is open daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
