Spark
SPARK has moved a couple of blocks away from Royal Hawaiian Avenue to Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikiki. The popular clothing and vintage collectibles store is known for its original line of graphic T-shirts, caps, hoodies and shorts, as well as retro decor and novelty fashion items from the 1950s through the ’70s.
Store owner Masashi Iwata (pictured above) started the company 18 years ago selling primarily antiques, such as old jukeboxes, classic motorcycles and collectible toys. He also started designing T-shirts and discovered that people really liked his designs, including a loyal following of fans among Japanese visitors and celebrities.
At Royal Hawaiian Center, SPARK is located on the second level of Building A, next to Island Slipper. For more information, visit facebook.com/sparkhawaii or call 781-9165.
