Traditional dolls

Shopping

In Martinique you will find not only the French and international brands (perfumes, lingerie, clothing, watches, fine leather goods, etc.), but creations from local designers. Non-local checks are almost never accepted. Duty Free shopping can be found in certain stores, particularly those in bonded areas such as the airport departure hall and the commercial port in Fort-de-France.

CRAFTWORK

Original Creole jewelry, bamboo objects, wood sculptures, baskets, pottery and Creole dolls dressed in madras... just to name a few of the handcrafted souvenirs that can be found in the boutiques or at the Savane craftwork market in Fort-de-France. Madras cotton was once used to make traditional Creole costumes and is now used to make all kinds of clothing (dresses, shirts, sarongs...) Beyond the traditional craftwork, the rich character of art in Martinique is evidenced by the many creations that abound in color, shapes and creativity.

La Maison de la Poupée (the Doll House)

Yet another charming destination, located on the grounds of Leyritz Plantation Inn near Basse-Pointe in the far north, is the Musée de Poupées Végétales or Doll shopping created by a talented resident artist, Will Fenton. Utilizing over 600 types of fronds, leaves and other plant material, Fenton has fashioned fabulous doll-sized miniatures of celebrated women such as Mme. Recamier, Mme. de Pompadour and Josephine Baker. There are over 50 figures in the collection.
