Who is Hilo Hattie?
Was there really such a person as Hilo Hattie? Well, sort of. Clarissa Haili (1901-1979) was a comic singer, one of whose songs in the 1940s was called “When Hilo Hattie Does the Hula Hop.” She also appeared as Waihila, a flower seller, in a 3-minute scene near the beginning of the 1961 movie “Blue Hawaii” with Elvis Presley. A clothing factory on the Big Island, named after the character Hilo Hattie, was bought in the 1960s by Jim Romig, a businessman from Washington state. He turned it into the company that exists today.
Hilo Hattie used to be a much larger chain with two stores on Maui and more on the other islands and some on the mainland before the company downsized in 2014-2016. Before that time it was so popular that an amazing 25% of all the visitors to Hawaii went to one of the Hilo Hattie stores during their Hawaii vacation.
