Gillia
In business for just a year, local label Gillia has quickly gained a growing following for its beachy chic line of women’s fashions. “It’s easy and flowy for the beach, but chic and sophisticated for town at the same time,” explains owner/designer Saori Santos. “And it’s good with slippers or heels.”
Santos, who was born and raised in Tokyo, moved to Hawaii after falling in love with and marrying a local boy. She worked in the fashion industry in Japan for 11 years, but after working as a designer for a few different lines, she decided to start her own company.
