Although we’re not huge fans of shameless self-promotion, we just had to share the news that in a recent online column of Conde Nast Traveler, Owens & Co. was voted the number one place to shop in Honolulu by their editor at large, Hanya Yanagihara. Now we know that the column wasn’t pitting us against major retailers, but we’re honored to say the least.

On a closing note, we’d like to extend our sincerest thanks to everyone who supported us in 2011. Our maiden year was just the beginning; look out 2012, cause we’ve got some big plans in the works.
