Various Shops: Shopping Barbados

by jpud99930

This is a general comment on shopping in Barbados. There's many shops to please your taste.Just to name a few is Cave Sheppard, DaCostas Mall, Sheraton Mall. There many jellery shops located in Bridgetown on Broad Str.There's also many art gallerys spread over the island selling crafts and art. One of the big names is Jill Walker.Also you'll find many kiosks near beaches and smaller towns selling everthing from soup to nuts. That's a personal choice what to buy. But there plenty to choose from. In the stores prices will be higher than on the treet.

Cave Sheppard: Barbados Shopping

by jpud99930

Cave Sheppard is probably the the biggest name when it comes to shopping on the island. The main store is in Bridgetown on Broadway St. You can't miss it. It has all the clothing for visitors and gifts to take home.It's a duty free store so bring your passport and return ticket with you to get the discounts.There's also stores in Holetown on the West Coast and near St. Lawrence Gap on the south coast. What to buy is a personal taste. If your looking for cloths like T-shirts and polo shirts then this is the place.Also a great place for the ladies. There's of course local music CD's to buy and rum from the island.They also have all the other stuff like keychains to bottled sand and shells. Not all stuff is cheaper. Everything you buy is imported here. To go cheap is to buy from vendors on the street.

Harley Davidson Store: Harley Store T Shirts

by jpud99930

This is the new Harley Davidson Store in Bridgetown. They also have one at the airport also as you leave. They have a good selection of men's and women's wear. It just opened so they were still waiting for more supplies.The airport store has a smaller selection than the main store. I found the prices were cheaper than other Harley Stores.

Life N Styles Barbados Online Shop: A great online Barbados shop

by anoif

I like the Life N Styles Barbados online store. It is a wonderful Barbados souvenir and gift shop which can be found at life-n-styles-barbados-shop.com. It carriesa wide selection of Barbados handicraft, art and food souvenirs, which make for great creative gifts. Overall everything in the store speaks to the type of gift you are looking for but there are some items that are undisputable delightful gifts and undeniable food treats.Things that are great to buy include:Amazingly scented exotic candles made from all natural materials Delish jerk seasoning and pepper sauce available at great pricesTortuga Rum Cake and Mount Gay Rum great cake small and large Besides reasonable prices looking at a west coast sunset even if it's just a picture makes this good online shopping. The tropical scented candles range from $12.00 -$24.00 depending on the design.Bajan seasoning:$2.25-$12.00 Pepper...

Pelican Craft Centre Mall

by vabchtraveler

Pelican Craft Center Mall is a lovely collection of shops supposedly dedicated to local crafts. I have to say that I was disappointed by what I was able to find there. It seemed pretty much the same tourist fare as everywhere else. The buildings themselves are lovely to look at and wandering through the stores there is as good as anywhere, I suppose. I just didn't find the handcrafts advertised. I wouldn't call it a tourist trap, I just expected more-----

Best of Barbados gift shops: Local quality gifts and art.

by joanj

Best of Barbados shops are to be found in the following locations:-The Chattel Village, HoletownMall 34, Broad Street ,BridgetownOrchid World, St. GeorgeSouthern Palms, St. Lawrence GapQuayside Centre, RockleyCruise Terminal, Bridgetown Port. The beautiful prints and artwork of Jill Walker abounds in this shop, as well as a lot of gifts, books and specialities.I have about a dozen Jill Walker prints in frames adorning my walls at home, and they make lovely gifts.Please look at the website (detailed below) and read about this remarkable Walker Family, and how they started this thriving business. So I am always reminded, when I look at the prints, of beautiful, and colourful Barbados.

????????: Street vendor

by joanj

This stallholder on the road through St. Lawrence Gap, caught my eye. I did wait until he had got out of shot, as the local people do not like their photo taken, unless of course you ask politely. I did think his notice was cute and was intended for people to stop and take a look and buy. Enlarge the picture to see what I mean. If you are not able to read it clearly it says - Open 24/7 except when closed.

Little Switzerland: Swiss Shopping in the Caribbean

by bluewilldo

Are you one of those people who have a lot of time and money? Or are you like me... constantly short on time and money? Whether you are the first, second, or a combination of both categories Little Switzerland has something for you. It is the premier centre for duty-free shopping in the Caribbean with such stores as Cartier, Tag-Heuer, Swiss Army, Movado, Swatch, Breitling, and Baum & Mercier. If the choices are too overwhelming, simply ask for a free Personal Shopper to pick things out for you. Just like big Swizerland, Little Switzerland is nown for their superb watches They sell 'high-class' merchandise. Although it is expensive, it is less than most places.

Islandcrafts/Andromeda Gardens Shop: Genuine Bajan products

by flyingbro

These shops carry genuine local handmade products. I realized that Barbados has many manufacturers and they produce lovely top quality stuff.BE CAREFUL!! BEFORE you buy double check that the product is locally made....there are many places in Barbados selling souvenirs as "locally made" just because they have "barbados" printed....is a trick, most of these souvenirs are coming from CHINA or THAILAND.Barbados products have imprinted or labelled "MADE IN BARBADOS". It is a fact that I bought a picture frame with "Barbados" on it from a "chattel house" shop in Holetown (west coast) which I returned,very upset, because I realized was not locally made but made "for" Barbados...very unfair!! The name of this shop is very deceiving too!! Pottery from many artisans with beautiful colorsGlassware ,unique!Dolls in fabric Wood carved /mahogany products very niceJewellery any pocket range
