Aloha Sunday Supply Company was one of my favorite shops I visited while working in San Diego earlier this year (see images from my visit, here!).

ALOHA SUNDAY SUPPLY CO.

I stumbled across this post a few days before I made my way down to San Diego. I had to visit (thanks for the tip Jenny!). Aloha Sunday Supply Company is a retail concept conceived by Hawaii-born surfer Kahana Kalama and friends. I loved the vibe of the store, the reasonably priced merch (such rad clothing and accessories for men and women), and especially the interior of the space which was largely constructed by reclaimed wood and salvaged materials from Northern Oregon. If you're in North Park, do stop in to shop and say hello....they're friendly in there.
