Retirement spurs Lee Sands’ sale
After several decades in the jewelry and accessories business, Hawaii-based QVC entrepreneur Lee Sands is making plans to retire, and that means liquidating his stock of beads, freshwater pearls, gemstones, finished jewelry, eel leather handbags and small leather goods offered at cost.
Examples include finished necklaces at $7, stone beads at about $5 per strand and bags of beads for $5.
The Lee Sands closeout sale is taking place 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays to Fridays on the 16th floor of the First Interstate (First Hawaiian) Building at 1314 S. King St.
Only checks or cash are accepted, and validated parking is available with a $100 purchase.
Face Shop expands with Aiea location
The Face Shop will open its third Hawaii location on Saturday at the Waimalu Plaza Shopping Center at 98-1277 Kaahumanu St., that is home to Safeway and City Mill.
Shoppers on Saturday and Sunday will receive 20 percent off purchases, as well as receive free gift items, beach bags and skin care sets with purchase while supplies last.
Hawaii’s first The Face Shop location opened in McCully Shopping Center in December 2011, followed by a second location in Ward Warehouse last October. The newest store will also introduce the brand’s "TheGoldenShop," which launched last April in Japan, with products geared toward mature skin. This will be the first store to carry the line outside of Japan.
The new shop will also host free beauty classes, including soap-making and fragrance-making sessions.

Donations collected at Hawaii Men’s Wearhouse store will be donated to the Honolulu-based nonprofit Helping Hands of Hawaii.
In exchange for your donation, Men’s Wearhouse will give you with a coupon for 50 percent off your next purchase.
Island Sole struts to sites in Waikiki
Island Sole has opened two new stores in Waikiki.
The first store, at 2335 Kalakaua Ave., was formerly a Sanuk store managed by Island Sole’s parent company, The Art Source Inc. The re-branded store features beach and lifestyle brands such as Sanuk and Olukai, with more brands coming soon.
Just down the street at Waikiki Beach Walk, Island Sole also unveiled Island Sole Mates, carrying boots, slippers and shoes from UGG Australia.
The Ala Moana Center Island Sole also has a new location: on the mall level near Centerstage. The company’s current store will remain open through October, for those already accustomed to finding the store in the Nordstrom wing, mall level.
