The best fashion and gift stores Cape Verde Island

It is here, at the entrance to the Cape Verde peninsula, that the Studio Wudé brand has established its workshop. Created by Cécile and Mbor Ndiaye in 2008, it offers high quality fashion accessories in leather and textile "made in Senegal". As West Africa has a tradition of leather working, the designer is inspired by different African know-how. She also exploits other materials such as wax, which are mixed with leather, for remarkable results. Stop by the workshop to appreciate the skilful work of the craftsmen and discuss with the designer.

In this small art gallery, Cissé, Mamadou and Ahmed, three friendly artists, create beautiful sand paintings on site. They have a wide range of natural sand colors from different beaches in Senegal, Morocco and Niger. Freehand, they spread the mineral grains from the darkest to the lightest on a wooden board soaked in glue to create their works, then dried in the sun. From typical Senegalese landscapes such as Gorée, to the beautiful silhouettes of African women, you will have a crush!
