The Butik

Just yuck! Beware!!! Poor quality. Poor customer service. Shipped item late, went on trip to africa. Refused return 2 weeks later. The worst shopping experience ever! Never again!!!

The Butik, located along Kapiolani Boulevard in the self– storage building.
If I was with anyone that would listen to my less than funny jokes, I would ask– «is it pronounced butt ick? There is Chicken Butt that makes people stop and check it out just for the name.» But no– I know they are playing on boutique.
It is a small little boutique small square footage — but inside has a depth rivaling those of fully stocked clothing stores. Chances are you are likely to find a fit and feel for what you need– if you are a woman.
So you can ask– Darin «Why are you there?»
1 there was an event. So I thought to check it out.
2 I was looking for comparisons for a female artist to wear as clothing for stage shows. So I had things in mind to look for for musical show purposes– not myself.
The event was small– as I knew it could be in that it is a small location.
The clothes though impressed me as being modern yet wearable.
It could be ripped out of Hawaii and on par for a boutique in Lourdes, Calais or Nice but not Paris.
There were items that were well within the budget of even the most frugal shopper– especially yoga clothing. And then things like a t-​shirt that has ‘artisan’ wear holes in it that was on purpose for $ 60.

The Butik, located along Kapiolani Boulevard and mere steps away from Blue Tree Café and Doraku, is a small little boutique with a lot to offer! Their large inventory and new arrivals are showcased on their Instagram (@thebutik).
While many of Hawaii’s local boutiques offer similar, and sometimes even the same, brands and styles, The Butik stands out with a collection that I have found to be a bit more classic. Of course, they offer on-​trend garments, party dresses, and beachy rompers, but I have also found The Butik to carry the largest supply of simply stated outfits for work or more conservative styles. Whiles prices vary, and can often be quite expensive, it has always been my belief that a classic garment with a lot of wear potential is worth the price.
Their jewelry collection is also well-​stocked and enviable! My friends and I all purchased matching Imi Jewelry rings from The Butik one year and received excellent customer service as we tried on different sizes and requested different finishes. The employees were extremely helpful and patient, considering there were 8 girls clamoring to try on rings, and even offered to contact the jeweler for special orders.
My friends are huge supporters of The Butik, and I have never failed to find something amazing for them there! And maybe a little something for myself too… ;)

Aaaah this store is my weakness! I always walk out with the cutest outfits (with my hands full of bags).
I adore Landy, who’s always eager to help me out on the perfect gift/​outfit!
Parking is free & service is always top notch :)

After reading various reviews, I had to make a visit. My first impression of the place… great parking, especially since it is free to their customers! I met Landy; she was very helpful and very friendly! The atmosphere and ambiance was very inviting and a rarity since they are the only location that offered a relaxing-​welcoming sitting area. The butik definitely offered a well stocked variation of super cute clothing lines and accessories.
Needless to say, I came in the shop empty handed and left there with multiple bags of quality clothes, SUPERB customer service and of course, a content smile on me! We will definitely be returning!

I never fail to buy things from the Butik because this store always ALWAYS carries really cute stuff, with high quality material, which fits well!
The owner is always super nice and patient with me, and even though it took me over an hour to try things on, she commented and recommeded items to me as if I were her friend. I felt very blessed to have such great customer service.
She also has really cute locally made jewelry. The Butik is the place to go for all kinds of dresses, rompers, tops, and her jeans are SO COMFORTABLE.
I would definitely recommend coming here!

Butik… one of my fav boutiques! They have a great selection of clothing. I swear I walk out with something every time I go there! The pricing varies. they have some very affordable things to more higher end pricier items. But I absolutely love the $ 10 bin! It’s like digging through a treasure chest! You would think that the $ 10 bin just has a bunch of crappy left over items no one wants but I swear I have found a lot of great pieces that I get complimented all the time on. I just recently bought black leggings with leather panels for $ 10! Funny thing is, just a few days ago I was looking for leggings just like those and ALMOST bought MinkPink ones online for $ 70. SO GLAD I didn’t cause I found ones that look almost the same but for waaay cheaper. Butik is awesome and always has the most fashionable and unique clothing & jewelry! Oh and I love the fact that they have tons of parking!

After checking out what other Unilocalers had to say, I decided to come and check out The Butik for myself and I am so glad I did!
During my shopping visit this afternoon, I received great service by the young lady working there. I was surprised at some of the comments regarding their service, because I thought she did a great job in making me feel valued.
The young lady greeted me as soon as I walked in, told me about their promotions and encouraged me to take a look around the store. She would check on me every now and then and would share information on the local jewelry designers that they featured.
The Butik carries a lot of great pieces that are awesome to the eyes, but may not be so much for the wallet. Some things can be a bit pricey, but if you follow them on Facebook, you can get the heads up on any sales or promotions that they are having. Not to mention check out the latest digs.
I was really happy to find a lot of great tops and dresses, not to mention the jewelry! I seen so many things that I would love to get. No doubt will I be returning!

Lots of cute clothes and accessories here. The items are a bit expensive, but everything is so cute! I wish I could shop here more often. The sales associates were really nice and took the time to show me all the accessories behind the cases even though I didn’t buy anything. If you like Fighting Eel dresses and tops, this place carries the line.

I LOVE SHOPPING HERE!
Every time I come in I find something I LOVE! The clothes can bit a bit on the pricey side, but good quality and absolutely adorable outfits are well worth the investment! The best part of my shopping experience is the customer service! Very friendly staff, always helping me pick out good outfits according to my personal style and body type… pretty much always SPOT ON!
If you’re in need of an outfit for any event or even the night before you plan to go out with the girls this is the place to go! Cute, sophisticated, sexy, classy, & more — they got it!
It is a little disappointing when the items you like don’t carry your size because they ran out, BUT there are so many other cute alternatives. They are also really good about informing their customers about new merchandise! They post everything up on their Facebook and website ASAP so their customers can get on it! So if you keep up, you can snatch all the good stuff quick before the sizes run out!
The store layout makes it really easy to browse through everything! Their merchandising techniques are very cute. It’s visible from Kapiolani street & parking is located behind it… in the public storage lot.
SHOP AT THE BUTIK! You’ll definitely find something that looks bangin’ on that bod! ;]

Landy has such great items here. The clothes are stylish and of good quality. It awesome because you can come in here and spend only $ 30 or even $ 300 an what you get is still satisfaction. If you’ve never been here you should stop by and check it out.

I have mixed feelings about The Butik. SOMETIMES I find really cute things and other times I don’t. SOMETIMES I get really great customer service and other times really bad service. Its a hit or miss, and for me, I require a little bit of stability in my shopping life. Especially when I’m feeling especially chubby and all I want is something cute to make me feel better about gaining 10 pounds since law school started. The Butik is not that place to make me feel better.
Prices are meh and range from $ 40-​$ 200, and they tend to lean REALLY heavily toward one style. For instance, at one point it was plain front dresses with a cut out back, and another period it was cut out sides. They like the cut outs, obviously.
Customer service is not the greatest. I can’t remember a single time that i’ve been there an encountered a sweet sales girl that was helpful. More often than not, the sales girl is sitting at the counter reading a magazine or on the computer and barely says hi. Once i went in there and the girl was overly pushy and kept trying to get me to try on really ugly things. No thanks. I like to pick my own clothes.
Overall I’d say its a hit or miss. I’d recommend hopping over to Bamboo Sky instead where there are ALWAYS cute things, service is always great, and they have a bigger selection.

How do you spell wonderful customer service? B-​U-​T-​I-​K !
I love this boutique right on the way from town to Ala Moana. They have such cute merchandise ranging from the more pricey chic items to more affordable boutique brands that don’t skimp on style!
I personally go here now because I’ve discovered the jewelry they carry is some of my faves. This store and Bamboo Sky which is a hop and a skip from here are my go-​to boutiques. I have yet to leave here feeling broke or disappointed. No buyers remorse for me!
If you want style and to find items that most boutiques don’t carry, you definitely want to check out Butik! I promise you that you won’t regret it!
The staff here are so friendly and helpful and they are great at what they do. It really makes a world of difference when you have someone who loves their job and WANTS to help you find something you’ll love too!

Selection: 3
Good range of boutique-​y clothing, including FE. Sometimes they have some really heinous things, though.
Price: 3
A bit high considering the quality/​style of the items. The occasional sales make for reasonable prices.
Staff: 3
Most of the times I’ve been in there, the salesgirls have been nice and helpful — not too overattentive or pushy. But sometimes, they are not very attentive and make you feel like they’re too cool for you because they work there and are wearing Jeffrey Campbells.
Location: 4
Not bad — free parking in the back lot. A little hard to find your first time.

The Butik is one of my favorite boutiques in Honolulu.
Prices are pretty reasonable for the most part and if you look carefully, you’ll find awesome deals and markdowns.
HELPFUL STAFF:
If you are looking for something and can’t seem to find it, ask the staff for suggestions – they are extremely helpful and know where the «goods» are hiding. They will show you the new arrivals and try to suggest items within your budget. Let them know you’re style and/​or the colors you like for a more personalized experience.
I went to the Butik in hopes of finding a couple specific outfits for work. A couple fitting room– changes later, I had found my couple outfits and then some. I happily left with $ 500-​something less, a few dresses, 1 romper, 2 belts, 2 lace shorts, 1 blazer, and a couple of tops.
FREE PARKING:
Ample free parking is located behind AT&T in the Public Storage parking lot.
LIMITED SIZES:
Remember this is a boutique, so sizes are pretty limited. Check back often to ensure you’ll find your size in the new arrivals.
Also, ask to join their email list so you can get a frequent shoppers card. For every $ 50 spent, you get a stamp. And 10 stamps gets you $ 20 off. Woohoo!

In the words of Madonna, we are living in a material world & I am a material girl. I don’t shop to live, I live to shop & The Butik is one of my lifelines.
This boutique always has such a fun & eclectic assortment of dresses & separates. You can spend anywhere from $ 40 to $ 200, depending on your budget. One of the things I love about this place is that even their less expensive pieces still feel upscale & opulent. I can’t stand boutiques that jack up the price on items made with the quality of Forever 21 or Jeans Warehouse. Shoddy workmanship is shoddy workmanship, whether you’re paying $ 20 or $ 50.
The Butik also has a great assortment of accessories. In the same vein as the clothing they carry, there are bags, belts & jewelry to satisfy every price point. Cheaper costume jewelry for those who aren’t looking to spend a whole lot, as well as pricier pieces made by local designers for those who are willing to shell out a little more dough. There’s a nice selection of obi, skinny leather & other fashion belts to cinch the waist of the super cute romper or dress you find here.
The gals that work here are absolutely fab. They’re always dressed on trend & are super helpful & friendly. The customer service here is great; I always leave feeling taken care of. The boutique shares a parking lot with a public storage & AT&T store so I’ve never had a problem finding parking.
A final great thing about this store is they offer a stamp card program. You get a stamp for every $ 50 you spend, 10 stamps gets you a $ 20 gift certificate. I’m down for anything that gives me a little something back for being a shopaholic.
So, if you need an outfit for a wedding, a night out of shaking your groove thang with your best girlfriends, or you just want to get your shopping on I totally recommend this fantastic, little boutique.

Cute clothes and super helpful service here!
I’d give them five stars if they had a better selection in my size. I guess they sell out pretty quickly, what with lots of small asian girls running around town though…
I came here a couple Fridays ago looking for something cute to wear out that night. They have a really nice selection of cute dresses and tops, but sizing is quite limited, sadly. However, the salesgirls were extremely, extremely helpful in choosing out dresses for me; they seemed to know the stock pretty well.
The prices are fair, starting at about $ 40 for a dress and going up. It’s too bad this place is a real destination store– you really need to want to make a special trip to go there unless your AT&T bill also happens to be due. I will definitely go back though, in hopes of snagging something that will fit :)

Recently I’ve noticed that some boutiques are getting a little into themselves and over pricing things too much. I understand that you need to make a profit, but if you’re getting things from downtown L.A., do you really need to mark things up 300%? Anyway, I’ve found that The Butik always has an awesome selection of clothes of great quality and reasonable prices. I personally love Fighting Eel but sometimes my wallet doesn’t appreciate it as much. However, the fit of their clothing is more than likely to be flattering and comfortable at the same time, a no-​brainer purchase.
A few previous reviews commented on poor customer service experiences, but I’ve always had very friendly and helpful workers. The space is very intimate and cozy, and very hard to ignore someone in there. Whenever I go in and pick something to try on, they lead me to other things they think I’d like, which they’re always pretty spot on about. I always find something there that I feel I can’t live without and if i do leave something behind I always regret it and drive right back to get it.

I finally made it out here… I always pass the store going to Ala Moana but never had the real urge to get there, I would always make an excuse. Thank heavens I finally got my butt there, my mission was to look for a christmas party dress, something red or festive.
As I walked in I got greeted by a friendly worker, she was the only one there helping out three other customers. I really appreciated that little gesture.
So I scan the place just looking for anything that I can try on, for a small space it didn’t look cramped and the design of the store was very easy to shop around. The prices are a little pricey anything from $ 30-​$ 200 which is a little hard to swallow because you can get the same or somewhat alike items at other boutiques nearby.
I really like how they display the clothing’s on the rack, they have it hung and some are attached with a photo because the hangers don’t do the clothes justice. I finally found a cute party dress, I had my eye on it at another place but didn’t have my size so I think it was faith that brought me here. :P So I head to the fitting room, which was a little awkward because there was another lady in there and the only thing separating us was a curtain.
Party dress mission completed all thanks to the Butik. They also have a rewards program for every $ 50 you spend you get a stamp on a card and when you fill it up you get a special deal.

Clothing overpriced and the staff unfortunately has a 5^th Avenue snottiness, much undeserved for a boutique located next to an AT&T store.
