Clothing from dear by Amanda Bynes, available at Steve & Barry’s.

The first Steve & Barry’s retail store in Hawaii will open at 9 a.m. April 25, with a sale. Everything in the store will be priced at $9.98 or less, though my shopping advice is: don’t buy what you don’t need. When prices are this low, it’s all too easy to go overboard. I’ve said before, I really hate the idea of disposable clothing.
Anyway, the retailer, based in New York, is on a roll, set to open 18 stores in coming months, in addition to the 262 stores across the country. Its aims is to offer quality casualwear at 50 percent to 90 percent less than at competing department and specialty stores.

Brand names include Starbury II, a high-performance basketball sneaker co-developed by NBA star Stephon Marbury, as well as Bitten, affordable sportswear created by Sarah Jessica Parker, who challenged “Project Runway’s” designers to come up with separates for the line during the most recent season. The Bitten collection is sold exclusively through Steve & Barry’s, with pieces all priced at $19.98 or less.

Debuting next month will be a line of men’s casualwear created with Laird Hamilton. More on that later.

Opening in town will be Hawaii’s second Anteprima Plastiq boutique at Ala Moana Center’s new expansion.
