“Enjoy it while you’re here, and try to do something before you go.” This is the life philosophy of Catherine, owner of Catherine Closet Vintage Boutique in Manoa.
Catherine’s Closet Vintage Boutique is a hobby turned into business. Catherine is a long-time vintage collector, and as a result of her over-collecting habits, Catherine decided to open up her own business selling vintage clothing, hats, jewelry, purses, collectibles, antiques and paintings.
Catherine has a personal connection with each and every piece she sells. “They’re all treasures to me,” she said. She’s very selective about what she sells in her store and offers fashion and collectibles, unlike many other vintage boutiques in Hawaii that offer either fashion items or collectible items. Catherine’s Closet Vintage Boutique is a one-stop gift shop. You can buy an entire outfit with accessories all in one place!
Catherine’s Closet Vintage Boutique is for the individual looking for something special and unique. “I have something for everyone. If you don’t see it, I’m sure I have it hidden somewhere,” Catherine confidently said.
At the end of the day, Catherine is thrilled and satisfied when “the perfect piece goes out on the perfect person.”
Catherine’s Closet Vintage Boutique offers private shopping and dress-up parties on Sunday evenings for groups of 4 – 10 people. Refreshments are welcomed and should be coordinated with Catherine. Past parties have brought in teas and scones and mimosas and quiches. These private parties are free of charge, but of course, everyone is encouraged to bring home a piece of the boutique.
