Gift ideas Saint-Louis

Next to the famous Saint-Louis butcher shop, the small boutique of Mamadou, an adopted Saint-Louisian, offers a range of souvenirs to take home: sand paintings, batik fabrics, Senegalese clothing and leather sandals. He also sells beautiful bogolans, traditional Malian loincloths, which can be used as quilts or bedspreads. If you like a fabric and want a custom-made garment, Mamadou can put you in touch with one of his tailor friends, who will make your outfit in no time, for a small fee.

At the corner of one of the main streets of Saint-Louis, in front of Ndar Ndar Café, this small store is full of typical souvenirs to bring back from the land of Teranga. Wooden sculptures, African masks, bogolans, bracelets, various wax items, sand paintings and fixtures, you should find your happiness! It has been run for more than 15 years by Sidi Sow, a discreet and friendly trader, with whom you will have to haggle. So use your negotiating skills to buy your favorite items at the right price!
