Come visit Wings Hawaii in Paia!


If you’re exploring Maui’s north shore, and the charming little beach town of Paia, make sure to visit us at Wings Hawaii! Our boutique is located at 100 Hana Highway, in the heart of Paia town.


Sure, online shopping is great (you can always find us at www.wingshawaii.com) but there’s nothing like strolling into a charming little beach town boutique. A place to browse slowly and discover new treasures in every nook. Come meet the Wings team in person and see what’s in store!


We’ve stocked our lovely little Paia shop with all the things that make us smile: bohemian, ocean-inspired clothing, one-of-a-kind fine 14k jewelry, handcrafted Hawaiian shell jewelry, Maui gifts, beachy accessories, eco-friendly beauty products, unique home goods, upcycled vintage treasures, and so much more for women, men, and keiki (kids). All with sustainability and expert craftsmanship at the forefront, and all lovingly crafted with aloha from our artisans’ hands to yours.


Some have described our store as like stepping into a mermaid’s treasure chest. The aesthetic: artistic, bohemian, beachy, celestial, carefree. The materials: handmade, recycled, upcycled, sustainable, natural, eco-friendly. The vibes: immaculate.


What you’ll find inside the Wings Hawaii boutique


At Wings Hawaii, all our original pieces are designed from the heart, and expertly handcrafted, with deep love for our island home. We appreciate those who shop with intention, choosing to shop small and support local in Maui! Here’s a few of the many things you’ll find in store…


Fine 14k gold jewelry and shell jewelry handcrafted in Maui


Wings Hawaii is famous for high quality, hand-fabricated jewelry. Our fine 14k solid gold jewelry is handcrafted with one-of-a-kind gemstones and real Hawaiian shells, intentionally made with careful precision to become timeless heirlooms. We also prioritize sustainability, using recycled metals and ethically-sourced crystals, gemstones, diamonds, and Hawaiian shells. Each piece tells a story, and is designed to be treasured for a lifetime.

We’re known for our handmade Hawaiian shell jewelry, and specifically for our famous Ti Leaf Bangles, an island girl staple. We handmake these organically-shaped bangle bracelets using the stalk of a Hawaiian Ti Leaf plant. (You can read more about how we make them here.) With options in sterling silver, 14k gold-filled, and solid 14k gold, in varieties with puka shells, cone shells, and Tahitian pearls, there’s a perfect fit for everyone. It’s no wonder these are ever-popular best-sellers at Wings Hawaii.

NEW! The Wings Hawaii Charm Bar


The newest addition to our Paia Boutique is the Wings Hawaii Charm Bar, where you can design your own luxury charm necklace or charm hoop earrings. There's so many gorgeous, elevated charms to choose from, like Hawaiian sunrise shells, glittering gemstones, and spellbinding crystals, to name a few. It's so fun to mix, match, customize, and create a piece as unique as you are. 


Unique, one-of-a-kind island apparel and upcycled vintage clothing


At Wings Hawaii, we have a carefully curated collection of island-inspired clothing, from our original new designs to upcycled vintage pieces. You’ll find evergreen staples like our signature Pau Hana Pants, Pau Hana Shorts, Boyfriend Flannels, Sun + Moon Jackets, and Kantha Jackets, plus a seasonal lineup of perfectly tailored trousers, cool-girl retro shorts, overalls and dresses. Our screen-printed series includes our classic mermaids, whales, rainbows, tigers, and more screen-printed by hand onto tees, tanks, hoodies, and yoga pants. We proudly keep sustainability at our forefront; hand-sewing in small batches, using natural fibers, organic materials, and upcycled vintage fabrics.


Vintage china dishware – upcycled with a modern Maui twist


We adore finding vintage gems and giving them new life with an artsy twist. Our signature dishware features original Wings artwork that we fire on as a permanent overglaze, like our hand-drawn mermaids, sea life, coastal themes, and even skulls and skeletons for our edgier moods. The Wings Hawaii gals LOVE thrifting, and we’ve scored so many epic finds at local garage sales, estate sales, and funky secondhand shops. It’s important to us that these beautiful vintage china pieces, that once held such special value to someone, stay out of landfills and find new life, and a new story, in a modern setting. Like we always say, it’s like your Nana’s dish, but better!


Made in Maui home goods, gifts, and souvenirs


Wings Hawaii is the perfect place to find authentic Maui souvenirs and gifts. Skip the tacky mass-produced stuff and take home something handcrafted with aloha – a meaningful memento from your Hawaii travels that you won’t find anywhere else.


We also know you don’t have a ton of room in your luggage. Not to worry; we have so many small, packable, perfectly giftable goodies like pins, patches, stickers, totes, hats, hand-drawn notebooks and cards, featuring our original hand-drawn artwork of mermaids, surfer girls, turtles, whales, rainbows, and Maui-kine designs. Crystals, treasures, and trinkets – all those perfectly giftable items for any lover of Hawaii, and for those who shop with intention and care for the people and stories behind their thoughtful purchases. We think there’s something so special about picking up a handmade item from a local artisan on Maui. And don’t forget to send a postcard!


For the keiki (kids) – the best Maui kids’ gifts and souvenirs


Of course we can’t leave out the kiddos! Many of the Wings Hawaii team are mothers ourselves, and have created original designs with our babies in mind. We’ve got the perfect Hawaii gifts for children’s birthdays, baby’s first luau, or any special occasion for your favorite kid, like island-themed baby swaddle blankets, keiki pajamas, and Keiki KauKau books, toys, and games. Our new Wings Mermaid Coloring Book has been a big hit. If you need a great last-minute gift (we feel ya, moms) come pop in, we’ve got you covered.


Supporting local Maui artists and made-in-Hawaii brands


Beyond our own Wings Hawaii items, we’re proud to support our friends and neighbors in Maui. In our Paia boutique, we’re stoked to carry local, Hawaii-made products like Oshan Essentials, Maui Oma Coffee, Maui Bees Honey, To Be Organics, Kealia Organics, Kauai Juice Co. Hot Sauces, Surf Shack Puzzles, and Keiki KauKau, plus pieces from local artists like Kauilani Mizner, Susana Cromwell, and Tara Shay underwater photography.


The Wings Hawaii Team


More important than products are our people! The Wings Hawaii team is the real deal (click here to read more about us!) and we can’t wait to meet you.

 

Paia: Where Beach Town Charm Meets Maui’s Best Shopping


Our quirky little beach town has the best shopping in Maui – and we’re not talking about chain stores and generic souvenirs here. Paia is a vibrant, carefree, creative community filled with authentic, locally-owned small businesses, boutiques, restaurants, art galleries and more. It’s off the beaten path, and a total vibe.


Our perfect day in Paia:

Between the local art and culture, boutique shopping, delicious food, and of course the gorgeous Maui scenery, there’s so many ways to have an epic day in Paia. Whether you’re driving the road to Hana or just cruising around Maui’s north shore, Paia Town is the perfect place to stop and live your best life a while. Here’s what the Wings Hawaii team likes to do, and what we recommend to our visiting friends…


Grab breakfast from the Paia Corner Café – we love their coffee, acai bowls and boba drinks.

Soak up the sun at Baldwin Beach Park. This long, white sandy beach with brilliant blue water is perfect for leisurely strolls, and is the actual definition of paradise.

Scoop up some locally-made art, gifts, jewelry, and souvenirs in Paia boutique shops like Biasa Rose, Nuage Bleu, Clhei, and ahem, Wings Hawaii of course. We may be biased, but we believe Paia town has the best shopping in Maui. Support small and local!

Get lunch at Paia Fish Market (our favorite is the fish burger!) Don’t stress the line – it looks long but it moves fast, and it’s so worth it.

Grab any groceries or supplies you need at Mana Foods.

Head up to Hookipa Lookout to watch the surfers and windsurfers. Look for turtles, dolphins, and whales, and take in Maui’s stunning scenery. Feel your stress melt away.

Treat yourself to a luxurious dinner at the iconic Mama’s Fish House, and pat yourself on the back for making a reservation WAY in advance.

Those are just a few of the many things to do in Paia – check out our “We Love Paia” insider’s guide for more.
