Binky’s

This place, to me, is just.eh.
I was recently in Maui and the other half wanted to check out Binkys (a store that has no sign outside claiming it to be Binkys)…and Unilocal directions weren’t accurate but some miracle, we happened upon a similar store that turned out to be Binkys. Haha.
Anyway…the lady working was great. Very attentive, helpful and offered up a great conversation. The store was a bit confusing. They had a small selection, things ranging from pennies to a few thousand dollars. However, the store itself was a bit in a disarray. Nice displays upfront… swap meet style in the back. I guess the review comes from me expecting more. I’ll check it out again if I’m ever back in the area, but won’t go out of my way.

Quick review but important. We were on Maui this spring and have been meaning to write this since then. I’m going with Better Late Than Never. The most important thing I wanted to share was this: I was having a problem with a knitting project. We went in, and the woman who knits wasn’t there. The person who was working, called her, text messaged a picture of my project with my question, and within about ten minutes, she’d responded with her advice. I was very grateful.

What a great store, great prices, awesome jewelry and great friendly service. I will make this stop every time I go back to Maui. It’s a little diamond in the rough and well worth a visit if your in the area.

Lots of pretty things here at a reasonable price. We got some beautiful sea glass earrings and charms. The owner was super sweet and really helpful. Glad we stopped in!

The owner is so much fun to talk to and has some amazing gifts, crafts, local jewelry, local amazing yarn & local made soaps. She will customize a pendant for you. (Which is what she did for me today.) We had an excellent time in her shop and exploring all her treasures.

Fun little shop full of local artisan products. Friendly owner. I got some Maui yarn here which is beautifully dyed and available in worsted, sock, and lace weights. If you are looking for cute jewelry, come here!

Part of what makes this such a great experience is the owner. She has a story about EVERYTHING!!! My favorite item was the piano key art. I went for beads, not much in that department, but I left so happy with the few things I found. And so much history!!!

Genuinely kind owner who stayed open for me and showed beads. Impressive assortment for a shop out past Ka’anapali.

If you want to buy real Maui made crafts go this shop. Great customer service and great stuff for great prices. You can also buy beautiful Maui made yarn. I’m so happy that I find them…

A fabulous little store with a large and tasteful selection of beads. And also a good size collection of yarn hand dyed on Maui. The owner is a super friendly lady who is fun to chat with. She has great ideas if you’re looking to create a necklace or piece of jewelry at her store. Its a great place to wander through and to find high quality jewelry, art, and so much more! I promise you won’t regret stopping in to check it out!

I have not been to the store, although I would love to. I emailed Binky’s to see if they had Maui Yarn in stock. Robin sent me many photos of colors they had in stock so that I could have sent to me. Thank you Robin! Looking forward to coming back to Maui and visiting your store/​gallery.

I found some great antique jewelry pieces here. The owner also sell beautiful handmade paintings on piano ivory. A bit pricey, but lovely.

This is such a great little shop. The hand dyed yarn is gorgeous. I also picked up a hand cast silver pendant that is gorgeous. The owner was knowledgable and delightful to talk to!

Went to Binky’s while in Maui a couple weeks ago. I was looking for hand painted yarn by a local artisan and was not disappointed. They had many quality items made by local artists which were affordable and a welcome sight after all the junk we found in other shops. The proprietor, Robin, was delightful and gave us some great Maui tips and my husband later said that she was probably the friendliest person he had ever met.

I was on Maui visiting friends for a week. I was determined to find some locally produced yarn. I found exactly what I was looking for at Binky’s, friendly service and a great selection of local crafts!

I have lived in West Maui for 35 years and Binky’s is now my go to shop for all my gift giving needs. I’m a sea glass junkie and I have never seen such a wide array of beautiful hand crafted sea glass jewelry.
The sales person was extremely friendly and helpful, I LOVE this store!

Wow, I think Binky’s has the most variety of any store I visited in Maui! I went there for the yarn, I bought some sock yarn called «Whale Watch.» It’s gorgeous blue green and I love it! I found a picture of it here:
I also found a vintage aloha shirt for my Dad… he will love it.
That store has everything!

This little gallery is a real find on the Westside!
Just off Honokowai Beach, it has a very welcoming, ‘flip-​flop casual’ feeling– but as soon as you’re inside you’ll be amazed by the scope of fascinating art and fine hand-​crafts on display. And it is not uncommon to see some of the artists there as well!
Robin, the owner, has a passion for all things Maui, and offers an intriguing collection of art & gift items in all price ranges. Her gallery is a fun mix of old Hawaiiana, fine original art, imaginative home décor, stunning jewelry, whimsical gifts, and all manner of cool, unique-​to-​Maui discoveries. I loved the fact that there was a story behind each and every piece, and whether the gift is for you or someone else, it truly is an authentic little piece of Maui!
And if you feel inspired to make your own creation, she has all the elements you need to complete your special masterpiece, whether it’s a scarf in Maui Sunset colors or a sparkling sea-​glass necklace. Robin is delighted to help you with ideas too!
It’s just all about Maui & art– be it original scrimshaw on old ivory piano keys, brilliant colors on canvas, or a fanciful crystal & sea shell chandelier, you will see things here that you will not see in any other store in Maui. And Robin is always on the hunt for new things, so check back often for new items.
I can’t wait to go back, and see what new treasures she has now!

A lovely store! I loved the selection of beautiful handcrafted art, all made by local artists. Exactly what you want when looking for an authentic souvenir from a beautiful island. The shop owner is such a lovely lady, very friendly and helpful!
As a passionate knitter, my favorite item from the store is the beautiful hand dyed yarn by an artist called Sara. The yarns have fantastic names like «Mango Wood» or «Haole Sunburn». The yarn is called «Maui Yarns» and is a 100% Merino fingering yarn.

As a tourist I was really excited to find some high quality unique art specific to Hawaii. Add in the absolute charm of Binky and what you have is a real Maui gem. The scrimshaw ivory piano keys are the work of a true artist; I loved the portrait of the humuhumu in the window! Anyway, Binky’s is a treasure house of a gallery that I highly recommend visiting. Art, jewelry, beads, and stories; something for everyone.
