Coconut Style

In the spring of 2014, while eating at a bakery near by – my family and I discovered Coconut Style and ended up with 4 tops and two pairs of lounging pants. The prints are gorgeous and the styles are elegant but casual, and oh so flattering! Both men and women will enjoy this shop! My one heart break is that their website does not provide much of an opportunity to order online. Back to Kauai we go…

Possibly the most beautiful prints on Kauai. The artistry & style that Tugu has put into this store & it’s contents is visual candy!

What an amazing store and fantastic helpful staff. This is the best place to get a handpainted sarong from Kauai. They have a beautiful selection of clothing and breathtaking duvet covers for your bed. The quality is excellent and a wonderful shop for getting beautiful gifts for yourself or others. This store shows the true Aloha spirit and is perfect for taking a little bit of Paradise home with you.

On our recent trip to Kauai I wandered into Coconut Style while my husband was having coffee in the courtyard. I fell in love with a silk sarong, but somehow didn’t allow myself to get is with the idea that where would I ever wear it again. But it nagged at me. Then on our last day we were back there with friends and I tried it on again. That did it. So now I can’t wait until I return to the tropics as it will be a staple in my wardrobe. Our friend found a very nice shirt there as well. There was no sales pressure, just a pleasant place in which to see beautiful silk pieces… kind of like a silk museum as it is laid out so beautifully. And they teach you various ways to tie them. Go there the first day and you won’t be sorry!

Kong Lung has several stores including Tugu’s Balinese sarongs and upscale Hawaiian wear. It is well known for the bakery which wafts scents throughout the center.
The hand painted sarongs line one wall but the bed has Balinese batik silk sarongs in short and long styles that are incredible. I bought three and a sterling silver clasp. I loved all of them passionately so it was hard to choose. Silk scarves never wear out and neither will these. I bought several others as gifts to mail to relatives and friends. The shirts, blouses, bedding and gifts are definitely upscale. The shop is a regular trek for designers.
While reasonable the designs are often one of a kind, so don’t expect ABC price points.
We live in California with a pool so buying quality makes a huge difference since we actually wear Hawaiian clothing.
They are building a web site so online shopping is coming.

Kong Lung shopping center has to be one of the coolest places on Kaua’i to pick up a nice souvenir of your trip (meaning they sell upscale stuff instead of airbrushed t-​shirts with palm trees, or plastic hula girl magnets). And Coconut Style & Tugu has to be one of the coolest places in Kong Lung.
We happened upon Coconut Style one afternoon while shopping Kong Lung. As soon as I spied the racks and stacks of hand-​painted sarongs, I was in the door. I was tired of wearing lacrosse shorts and tank tops at the beach! I wanted something glamorous and beautiful to cover up my suit! Coconut Style to the rescue.
Amid scads of hand-​dyed and hand-​painted shirts, as well as scads of hand-​dyed and hand-​painted sarongs, alongside papasan chairs and futons, I found exactly what my beach wardrobe had been crying out for: a long, flowy, white sarong, with crimson lotus flowers and vibrant green leaves painted on it. It spoke to me from across the store, and I knew it was mine as soon as I pulled it off its hanger. I absolutely love it: I wear it to the pool, to the beach, even out and about over my bathing suit when I’m in one of those anything-​goes resort places. It’s still vivid and beautiful, three years after I bought it. Also, it’s signed and dated, like a real work of art. And I consider it one.
I am completely enchanted by Coconut Style — each piece is a one-​of-​a-​kind and, for real works of art, the prices are incredibly affordable. The sales staff is low-​key and low-​pressure, and knowledgeable about the pieces. We bought several more as gifts, and each was very well-​received. Can’t wait to return this winter and build on my sarong collection!
