How Can You Tell if Something is Made from REAL Hawaiian Acacia Koa?
Genuine Hawaiian koa has a beauty that comes from natural variation: warm colors, individual grain patterns, and, in some pieces, luminous curl that changes as light moves across the wood. Other woods that may look like Hawaiian Koa may not be from Hawaii at all and will not have any heritage or connection to Hawaiʻi. When purchasing a koa furnishing, bowl, box, or sculpture, establish three things: what the wood is, where the piece was made, and who made it. Ask for written certification identifying genuine Hawaiian koa, confirming that the particular piece was crafted in Hawaiʻi, and naming the responsible craftsperson or craftspeople. Verbal assurance from a cashier should not be taken for truth, without actual certification. Demand written certification pertaining to the actual piece you are buying. ...

Who is Hawaii Artist Mark Brown: An Impressionist’s Passion for the...
Hawaiʻi artist Mark Brown paints the islands with an expressive energy that reflects his deep affection for the place he calls home. His impressionist paintings bring together vivid color, richly textured paint, and a personal response to Hawaiʻi’s landscapes and everyday life. From Diamond Head and Makapuʻu to quieter places that catch his eye, his subjects reveal both familiar beauty and unexpected discoveries. His love of plein air painting puts him outdoors, responding to passing clouds, sudden rain, and fleeting changes in light. Brown is represented exclusively by Martin & MacArthur. He welcomes commissions that reinterpret collectors’ meaningful places, personal photographs, and family memories through his distinctive artistic vision.

Will Koa Furniture Look Good in My Home? A Guide to Gracious Hawaii...
Koa furniture can wonderfully complement homes of any style. Its beauty offers both richness and flexibility. You can begin with one meaningful piece. Give it a useful place and appropriate scale. Take cues from its color and grain, let surrounding woods offer balance, and choose fabrics and lighting that reveal its character. Your home does not need to match a showroom or follow a single style. It can include furniture you have inherited, artwork you have collected, and pieces chosen for the way you live today. Well-crafted koa furniture can join those elements while bringing something distinctive of its own: natural warmth, individual grain, and a lasting connection to Hawaiʻi. The best result is a room you enjoy using and sharing. That is gracious Hawaiian living, wherever you live.

Are Wood Watches Worth the Hype? Ten Ways to Choose the Right Wood ...
Are wood watches worth the hype? A thoughtfully chosen one can be—especially when natural character and comfortable everyday wear matter to you. The strongest choices combine appealing wood with documented sourcing, a suitable movement, a readable dial, smooth bracelet construction, proper adjustment, and dependable access to service. Koa is particularly appealing for someone drawn to rich color, expressive grain, and a connection to Hawaiʻi. Martin & MacArthur brings those qualities together with choices in size, dial material, movement, and bracelet design, supported by its sourcing guarantee and dedicated watch service center. Start with what you want to see and feel on your wrist. Then ask the practical questions that determine lasting satisfaction. The right watch should continue to make sense long after the initial attraction.

We love shopping here.
I bought my husband a Koa Wood watch from here. We also bought Koa wood wedding bands recently and a beautiful Koa wood picture frame. It's a great place to purchase a little of Hawaii to bring home. Things that mean something and have purpose. Not to mention, things that get others attention. My husband gets lots of compliments on his watch! Staff is always nice. They truly give a little Aloha spirit.-Christie R. Honolulu, HI

Went into the store expecting to see items geared toward the Maui tourist, and was pleasantly surprised to find high quality, island-made goods. We ended up buying our wedding rings here. (The sales associate) is awesome and was very patient as we decided on a style. They are highly recommended.-

This is a great shop. They have all sorts of fabulous Hawaiian gifts and locally made art, jewelry and other souvenirs. The gifts here are upscale yet in many cases affordable. I couldn't resist leaving without purchasing a cute necklace first. Definitely stop in here and check it out...the service is friendly and nice too!-

My custom Koa furniture arrived one week early. Was packaged so well for protection through delivery. High quality, definitely exceeded our expectations. The store's staff were very easy to work with throughout the entire ordering process. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.-

I went here today with a friend who was looking at watches. J gave incredible service from start to finish. He answered questions on the phone, helped us feel comfortable trying on each of the beautiful watches we wanted to see on our wrists and in the end I was able to find a beautiful print from Heather Brown that J was kind enough to wrap nicely for me to take home.-

For some reason, I've always felt intimidated to go inside of Martin & MacArthur because it seemed like it would be out of my price range. However, last week I was pleasantly surprised with this store.
Yes, there are things here that are pretty pricey. However, there are also items that are less than $100 like their koa bracelets. The great thing about this place is that they sell well-made, quality products that are absolutely beautiful. I have a few weddings this summer, and I know that I'll probably be coming here for gifts.-Camilla C. Honolulu, HI
