I found exactly what I’ve been looking for these past few years. A beautiful vintage Japanese made leather jacket for a great deal. Courtney was so helpful and a true pleasure to chat with. Walked in without expectations, walked out incredibly happy. I am definitely coming back.

I got an amazing 1960 vintage Hawaiian shirt here. The owner was so friendly and could tell us the history of each shirt I looked at. Awesome shop!
Aloha Max, Mahalo for the kind review! We love to share what we learn while we are sourcing and knowing the history it holds make it’s all the more special, not to mention, UV reactive glowing fabric! Congrats on your vintage aloha find (:

I absolutely love this place! Courtney was kind enough to seek out purses for me when I told her what I was looking for, and she had them ready in the store in a very timely manner. I ended up buying two, they were such beautiful finds! Awesome service and great treasures, highly recommend going here.

Highly recommend! I have been here for clothes, mugs, plates, and recently got my first mu’umu’u. The owners are very helpful and super accommodating! I was needing a mu’umu’u for a staff meeting and I didn’t know where else to look than Rags to Riches! I Instagram messaged to see if they even carried Mu’umu’u’s and I was instantly responded to! One of the owners reached out to me and asked me for my size, she pulled all of the mu’umu’u’s they had in my size! So that I could try them upon arriving to their store! They absolutely care about their customers and want you to feel your very best! This sweet store is worth your time. Please take the time to check them out!
Aww Sarah we are so happy that you got your first Mu’umu’u with our curated picks & it was a fabulous first piece I will say. We aim to do our best to meet our clients needs from choices to budget to any assistance that may help even down to a 30 minute window. Thank you for your continuous support and your generosity from Day 1!

This is a really cool small shop. I was looking for books the read, but they mostly have collectible clothes and things. Nice shop to stop into see.

One of the best thrift, vintage stores I have been to in a while. Very well organized shop and friendly helpful staff. Found some great pieces for reasonable price. The shop has women’s, men’s, and kid’s clothes as well as houseware items. I even needed some recommendations for shops to find jewelry as gifts in the area and she found multiple shops close and further away to help me find what I needed. Highly, highly recommend.
Aloha Meghan 🤙🏼 Thank you so much for your kind words and appreciation - individuals such as yourself really bring smiles to our faces 😊 We wish you the best of luck on your quest for what you’re searching for, and are so grateful for your support and for taking the time to share your positivity! Mahalo!

The work and care these ladies do to give us Kauai shoppers is unrated. They have all price points available, to your treasure score for a name brand dress shirt to AMAZING VINTAGE HAWAIIANA!! I’ve gotten two outfits there, for two separate weddings; Shoes, and accessories included! I paid thier generiously priced, then discounted Vintage Hawaiian Skirt, and paired it with a $1.00 Micheal Kors button up; added a vintage beaded belt, which they suggest I wear as a choker! ITS AN AMAZING OUTFIT! Here on Kauai, our shopping is limited, so I rely on the ladies of Rags 2 Riches for thier taste and curation when I need a special outfit or somewhere nice to shop and enjoy an amazing boutique experience. Please support these hard working Kauai women, they deserve our business, our aloha and our appreciation. Thank you Shell and Courtney for taking the chance on staring and running a small business here on Kauai! I’m proud to shop at your store and grateful for your hard work!!
Thank you so much for this amazing review - you absolutely made our day! And thank you for recognizing and acknowledging our efforts - customers like you are what keep us going and we are so, so appreciative that you took the time to write all these kind words. We are so stoked you found pieces you love, but you're the one putting all the work into pulling them off like a fashion goddess 😍 Thanks again for the aloha and shout out - it truly means so much!
