Our boutique in Grenada
is a shopping delight
and very hard to leave

Grenada is an island nation in the Caribbean Sea, the second smallest independent country in the Western Hemisphere (after St. Kitts and Nevis). It belongs to the Windward Islands. St. George's, the capital city, surrounds the Carenage, one of the most beautiful natural harbours in the world.

From the St. George's market, step over the crest of the hill towards the Carenage and Young Street. You will find us in the historic district of St. George's where the architecture is centuries old. Our Latin Caribbean neighbors call it "las frutas de la cultura", and while we in Grenada speak English, there is a nostalgic, romantic part of our St. George's city where the fruit of culture can be touched, seen, smelled and tasted! This magic place is just a few steps away from the new cruise terminal and also easily accessible from the picturesque Carenage. A visit to historic St. George's is well worth the effort to find the art, craft, history and tantalising taste of the authentic Grenada. What you will find is simply enchanting!

At 9 Young Street, enter the wide open gate, through a beautiful arched walkway, and up one short flight of stairs. Here you will discover Grenada-made one of a kind fashion wear with many colours and styles for the whole family. At the Art Fabrik boutique we welcome you with a demonstration of the batik waxing process. The hand painted clothing, accessories and jewellery created by some 45 Grenadian artisans will delight you. With gift items and batik tucked into many nooks and crannies, and the light sifting through the windows like jewels, it's a cool and calming shopping atmosphere. We use antique furniture such as iron beds to display our merchandise and for our well known 'husband's bench'. Our customers from all over the globe love our boutique and are fans of our selection of award winning batik and unique Caribbean style craft-creations.

We will always remember the 7th September 2004 when Hurricane Ivan devastated Grenada. Our island had a new look. The hills and valleys were covered with galvanised metal pieces. Tornados and windpower of 160mph just powered the roofs off into the air like toys. Flying objects wrapped themselves around any obstacle that they chose as a landing place. Grenada was 'galvanised' by Ivan. We survived with the help of our friends. Unbelieveable. To see photos of Grenada after Ivan go to: www.picturesofgrenada.com
