St. Barthélemy / St. Barth / St. Barts Shopping, Boutiques
St. Barthélemy (St. Barts, St. Barth) shopping is simply sensational. The island is renowned for its chic boutiques in Gustavia, St. Jean and, across from the airport, La Savane. Visitors from around the world discover a superb selection of European fashions, famous maker accessories, stylish lingerie and designer jewelry.
Other popular purchases include imported perfumes, crystal, silver, china, watches, liquor and tobacco. As in France, many shops close for a long (2-3 hour) midday déjeuner, but stay open as late as 19:00. The island's duty-free status further enhances the shopping experience.

Other local products include sandals, shell jewelry, t-shirts and more. St. Barth is also home to many talented artists. Their paintings, lithographs and other works of art can be discovered in the numerous St. Barth galleries.
Locally-produced beauty lotions and oils made from island plants and other natural materials make unusual and interesting gifts. A fascinating array of imported fragrances, bath and beauty products and cosmetics is also available in St. Barth.
