The best fashion and gift stores West

A 100% local brand with a distinctive sign: the margouillat. T-shirts for all sizes and all tastes. Also dresses, shirts, beachwear, accessories ... With its collection entirely designed and printed in Reunion Island, this brand has been successful for about ten years and has shops all over the island. Recently, its influences come from the four corners of the world... enough to offer original clothes. But if you want to access all his creations, go to the online shop.

The shop in Saint-Gilles, with its sandy floor and small duckboard bridge, is the most beautiful on the island. Created in 1984, the extravagant brand with the devilish logo has become a must in the local clothing and cultural landscape. From the towel to the boardshort, passing by the skirt or the T-shirt, Pardon! dresses you from head to toe, with quality items. It's expensive, but often funny, always "cool" and invariably original. You will be able to buy the little guide to Reunion Island made in Pardon.

A pleasant, eco-responsible boutique where you may well find a few little treasures and personalized gift ideas, at affordable prices. The space is filled with various objects and accessories for the home and well-being (bags and saddlebags, notebooks, books, posters, puzzles and postcards by Reunionese illustrators, cosmetics, scented candles, gourds, mugs, teas...). Enough to please or pamper yourself during a good little shopping session. Chances are you won't leave empty-handed.

Founded in 2011 by Nicolas, the Zékli brand is the latest arrival on the T-shirt market, with a humorous take on current geek/pop culture in Creole style: "Game of Rhum" or "La Reine du Piton des Neiges". You'll also find them at the fairground markets in Saint-Pierre on Saturday mornings and L'Étang-Salé les Bains on Sunday mornings, at a number of retailers around the island and by delivery via its website, where you'll be able to find out what's new. An original gift idea to take home!

Nathalie Dromsöm and Bruno Gaba's "boutique à lire" operates like a small cultural café, with the aim of promoting Réunionese authors and artists, and creating links and conviviality around local culture. This small bookshop represents exclusively Réunionese editions. The place is charming, the bookseller takes place in the notches of an enormous oak barrel, she has a corner for the children and you can sit outside for coffee. Check out the small cultural program on Facebook.

Whether you want to bring back an elegant souvenir of your stay, gifts for family or friends, or furnish your home, this small designer boutique thought like a home is a local institution, a subtle blend of Reunionese, Balinese and European influences. Over the years, its original collections of accessories, household linen and decorative objects, with refined, graphic and resolutely optimistic details, have made it very popular with connoisseurs. Celadon Red is a touch of poetry!
