The Knickknackery Antiques And Collectibles Hawaiiana

The Knickknackery Antiques And Collectibles Hawaiiana is an antique and collectibles store located at 84 Ponahawai Street in downtown Hilo, Hawaii, specializing in vintage Hawaiiana and eclectic treasures sourced from Hawaii and around the world. Owned by Keli’i Wilson and his husband Ray, the shop features an extensive inventory including mid-century Tiki culture items, vintage aloha shirts, hula dolls, Hawaiian pottery, ukuleles, vintage kitchenware, furniture, and memorabilia documenting Hawaii’s cultural history. The business originally operated on Kapiolani Street before relocating to its current downtown location in 2021. Wilson, who began collecting antiques at age nineteen and is of Hawaiian heritage, personally curates the collection with a focus on preserving everyday items that reflect the daily lives and material culture of Hawaiians and the islands’ multicultural communities. The store serves both local customers and visitors, offering reasonably priced pieces ranging from museum-quality items to affordable treasures.
