After years of working in retail while creating her own jewelry on the side, Olivia Turner decided it was time to open her own store, so she and boyfriend Branden Chun opened Tasi Boutique in Waialua on the North Shore earlier this summer.
Located at 67-292 Goodale Ave. (Unit 105), Turner describes the store as a modern-day, mom-and-pop, ’round the corner in the country boutique featuring many locally made products and designs.

“Tasi, in Chamorro, means ‘the ocean,’ so it’s an ocean-inspired boutique,” says
Turner, who was raised on Guam. “People can find seashell jewelry, pareos, bikinis and beachy dresses.”
Brands available include Khush Clothing, Kealopiko, Lani Lau, Mamalani, Cameron Hawaii, Sunrise Shells Hawaii, Tee’s by Taryn Shimizu and many more. Turner and Chun also dive for and create their own jewelry that is featured in the store, and there’s a great selection of hand-dyed pareos and handmade beauty products also made by the couple.
