The Plait Lady
Ask locals the best place to go for baskets and they'll direct you to this tiny Caribbean-colored spot, set up to look like a seaside shack (there's even a faux porch indoors, complete with rocking chairs). Owner Clare Sands regularly visits the remote Out Islands of the Bahamas in search of new artisans to plait rolls of straw that are sewn into baskets, bags, and trays by additional artists; stop by during the weekend and see weavers demonstrate their craft.
Shopping
Bamboo-Bamboo
Decorative items with an oceanic theme—scallop-shaped salt cellars, antique sailor valentines, delicate carved-bone crab figurines equipped with grasping pincers— are on offer at this elegant year-old shop, owned by New York City-based interior decorators John Fondas and Andrew Raquet.
Shopping
Felipe & Co.
This is the place to load up on quality Dominican-made trinkets of all types—from clay vessels painted with tropical fauna and sequin-flecked straw totes to delicate shell chandeliers and sacks of native coffee beans (hard to find in the States, coffee from the Dominican Republic is some of the best in the world).
Shopping
Belongings
Three prominent local architects joined forces to open this year-old home goods store, which has the vibe of a ritzy coastal cottage: Old-fashioned seashell prints and mother-of-pearl-framed mirrors line the walls, ceramic stools and shagreen end tables rest atop seagrass carpet, and earthy touches—alabaster Buddha hands, mounted coral branches, sand-dollar-shaped pewter bowls-provide decorative accents.
Shopping
Harmony Gallery
Located in the lush, palm-fringed courtyard of the Tuscan-style Palms resort, this small, light-bathed spot offers up exquisite island-themed gifts: gilded trays lacquered with antiqued maps, hourglasses filled with super-fine sand, images of galleons etched into giant abalone shells.
Shopping
The House
While this Southeast Asian-themed store originally sold only furniture, over the years its repertoire has expanded to include modern tabletop wares, clothing, and accessories, along with offbeat picks, like lacquered fish statues and giant triptychs of Indian temples.
