MORI by Art + Flea was voted 2017's Best Honolulu Gift Shop in Honolulu Magazine and has been supporting the growing community of local creatives since opening their doors in November 2014 at Ward Warehouse. MORI is now currently located in South Shore Market in Ward Village and serves as a platform for Hawaii's designers and artists to showcase their work and what they love to do. The artists and brands from MORI to be showcased at the upcoming second store location include Ravunan, Andrew Mau, Asham Studio, Deanna Gabiga, Honolulu Printmakers and more.

MORI has secured their role as a well-established shop by being involved with the community through events such as the recent NEKO CAFE partnered with Morning Glass and Hawaiian Humane Society and on a bigger scale in the local art scene, from their pop-up shop at Honolulu Biennial 2017. The hope for the HISAM x MORI Gallery Shop is to attract collectors of all generations and elevate their knowledge of Hawaii's finest artists.
