Souvenirs and handcraft Seychelles

 Shopping

In shops, you will find very creative textiles (batiks, sarongs and t-shirts), designed by young local artists. Seychellois craftspeople also make pretty baskets, hats and mats. You also find beautiful jewels there, mixing gold, coral and seashells on Mahé and in the boutiques of some hotels. But, so as to protect the tortoise, an endangered species, it is recommended not to buy tortoise shell jewels. One of the most meticulous crafts is the making of boat models. The most original souvenir to take home still is the coco de mer or "coco fesse". Split in two, it makes original-looking fruit baskets. Shops are open Monday to Friday from 9.00am to 5.00pm, to 2.00pm on Saturdays and are shut on Sundays.
