Today on Behind the Bloom- I want to share one of my Favorite Stops whenever I get the opportunity to be in Honolulu- Bailey’s Antiques and Aloha Shirts- David Bailey is an Icon in the World of Aloha Shirts- with a collection of over 15,000 Vintage and Modern Hawaiian Shirts- his store has been visited by Celebrities like Jimmy Buffet, Nicolas Cage, and Anthony Bourdain (and Anyone that loves Hawaiian Shirts- Clothing and Vintage Hawaii Artifacts…) David allowed us to visit- and with much Aloha – shared some time and stories with us- as we ‘toured’ his impressive collection (and made some cherished purchases). We are featured David and his interview- and Bailey’s Antiques & Aloha Shirts in Season 8 of J Schwanke’s Life in Bloom – in episodes dedicated to Hawaiian Flowers and the Aloha Spirit! Although I didn’t want to delay YOUR opportunity to meet David- enjoy his stories – and hopefully start your own Collection of Vintage or New Aloha Shirts… You can follow David on Social Media- www.Instagram.com/BaileysAlohaShirts and www.Facebook.com/BaileysAntiques and visit his website
