Tommy Hilfiger Joins the Growing Selection of Shops at the New Outlets of Maui, Lahaina
Yesterday, the island of Maui celebrated the Grand Opening of Tommy Hilfiger, located in the new The Outlets of Maui. The Honorable Alan Alakawa, County Mayor of Maui, was on hand to officiate and perform the obligatory ceremonial ribbon cutting. The Outlets of Maui, which is located on Front Street in Lahaina, was made possible by the efficient re-purposing of several pre-existing buildings in the former Lahaina Center. The Outlets have the unique distinction of being the only retail outlet on Earth that is positioned on the oceanfront in a historic location.
This 147,000 square foot shopping experience was envisioned and designed by the renowned development company Eight Inc., and showcases an initial lineup of 35 shops and restaurants, with many more shops to follow in the near future. Already, the impressive lineup includes some of the world’s most celebrated retailers.
Tommy Hilfiger Maui is one of those inclusions, and savvy customers across the Isle are rejoicing.
Having a Tommy Hilfiger retail store as one of the original founding shops of their new mall is indeed quite a coup, and gives residents enviable access to the widest possible selections from one of the world’s foremost clothing design companies. Often, limited choices from the Hilfiger line are offered as part of the collections being sold by other department stores. Tommy Hilfiger Maui, as a complete corporate retail shop, will provide customers with the entire Hilfiger line, with variety and pricing that cannot be matched elsewhere.
Furthermore, what at first seems only to be of benefit to fashionable Maui residents will also be good for the island as a whole. Tommy Hilfiger Maui represents one of the few apparel companies that can truthfully be called an international, even global, icon. Visitors from around the world will instantly recognize the brand name, and just like local residents, will want to take full advantage of the convenient proximity, expanded choices, and exceptional value that the Tommy Hilfiger Maui store at the Outlets provides. That only means more tourism money entering the local economy.
Company History
In 1979, eventual founder Tommy Hilfiger moved to New York City in an effort to realize his lifelong dream of becoming a full-time fashion designer. With the help of businessman Mohan Murjani, Hilfiger was able to introduce his initial signature line of men's clothing in 1985. By incorporating new, modern updates, details, and fits to the traditionally unimaginative world of men’s fashions, the Tommy Hilfiger line was able to generate considerable interest among active young professionals looking for upscale casual apparel.
The Tommy Hilfiger brand redefined and reinforced the idea of American Cool by taking classic styles and giving them a modern twist. When the company began to incorporate cutting-edge, iconic advertising and combined that memorable imagery with the growing popularity of the clothing line, it began to transcend its existence as a mere fashion company. By promoting the idea that a Tommy Hilfiger customer is successful, sexy, active, and most of all, supremely Cool, the company grew past its original boundaries and became the very epitome of a lifestyle brand.
Today, in its eponymous retail stores such as Tommy Hilfiger Maui, the company has expanded to offer much more than button-down shirts and chinos. Today, there is a veritable plethora of choices in men's, women's, and children's fashion, including not only both casual and dress wear, but also sportswear and denim. As a lifestyle brand, the company also offers other officially-licensed items such as colognes and perfumes, fashion accessories, and even furnishings for the home.
For men shopping at the Tommy Hilfiger Maui store, they will be able to meet all their clothing needs, whether they simply need a few pieces to complement what they already have or an entire new wardrobe. Every type of shirt is available, from casual or T-shirts to collared polo shirts to the iconic button-down dress shirts. Dress pants, various cuts and fits of jeans, and of course, chinos are always available for purchase, in a generous palette of colors. Should the occasion call for something a bit dressier, the discriminating active male can even find suits and blazers suitable for any event. And, of course, as is only fitting for a Maui store, men will be able to find just the right sporting or active wear.
Although the company started as a men's clothier, the Tommy Hilfiger Maui store also caters to women with a fashion and accessory line that can easily meet any demands of an active and vibrant lifestyle. Every article of women's clothing imaginable is represented, from tops, shirts, and blouses to shorts, and jeans, and casual pants. There is also a wide selection of skirts and dresses, and even intimate articles and loungewear. The store will even offer women's accessories and handbags.
At the Tommy Hilfiger Maui store, not even the little ones are left out. Cute and trendy outfits are offered for boys and girls of all ages, from infants to teenagers.
For all the trendiness and expansive selection, perhaps the most attractive thing found at the Tommy Hilfiger Maui store will be the exceptional value. The company has a well-deserved reputation of being a provider of only family clothing of the highest quality. Every article of clothing that bears the Hilfiger logo is reflective of a standard that is rarely equaled and never surpassed by other clothing lines.
By including such renowned, iconic, and globally-recognized retail shops as the Tommy Hilfiger Maui store, the Outlets of Maui has positioned itself to enjoy a long and successful run as the premiere shopping destination of choice for both Maui residents and visitors.
