Souvenirs and handcraft The Maldives
© Copyright
Local handicraft is quite limited. Most of the souvenirs are imported objects: lacquerware from China, sarongs and wood sculptures from Bali and mats and silver jewellery from Indonesia. One of the rare souvenirs 'produced' locally is the stencilled T-shirt. If you love second-hand goods, go to the Singapore Bazaar at Malé; here, items are mostly imported, but this is where you will find the greatest variety. Businesses are open from 8:30 am to 11:00 pm from Saturday to Thursday and from 2:00 pm to 11:00 pm on Friday.
