$710 Trader Vic's Mai Tai Set - Collecting Tiki

Aloha wear has become the look of summer and relaxation. When the Cocktail Culture thing was in full swing there were articles in most major mags about throwing cocktail parties. Cocktail ware became available at Target and other discount retailers. I'd guess Joe and Barb Ordinary said "Let's throw a cocktail party!" after seeing a how-to article in Better Homes and Gardens, but I don't think they decided to start collecting Tiki mugs after buying some Aloha shirts at Walgreens.
