The best fashion and gift stores Barbados

Behind this textile brand is Ayissa Burnett. Her collections include cushions, table runners, scarves, bags, coasters and mugs in tie-and-dye and batik designs. Each collection is inspired by the Barbadian landscape.

Everything is produced locally, and Ayissa has created a collection of superb wall pieces using the island's natural materials such as calabash, shells and coconut fiber, which look more like paintings than decorative fabrics.

Not far from the port, this complex is the largest of its kind in the Caribbean. Various creators have their stores and studios here: jewelers, stylists, glassmakers, an art gallery, a recording studio... All forms of artistic expression are welcome and have taken root in this veritable "village" of colorful houses. The ideal place to take home a truly local souvenir.

Anecdote: The village is built on what used to be Pelican Island, the island that served as a quarantine area for sick people arriving on the island, which was reclaimed from the sea.
