Capvertdesign+Artesanato (Sao Vicente)

Capvertdesign+Artesanato is no ordinary souvenir shop. Within its walls you can find Cape Verdean photography and coffee table books, typical home design items and decorations, art, glasswork, and traditional musical instruments. Every product sold here has a refined and elegant taste about it, making it perhaps the best place in the country for gifts and mementos.

Shopping

Most everyday products in Cape Verde are imported, and thus tend to be on the expensive side, but locally-produced items are plentiful, and strolling through the stalls at any of the islands' vibrant markets is an experience not to be missed. Find fresh produce and fish, local coffee, cheese and jam, wine, rum and the traditional grogue, and of course, a wealth of handicrafts and artwork, including wood carvings, woven baskets, paintings and jewellery.
