erpa Posted July 29, 2006 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Hi - we will be in Grenada this November and it seems like a good place to shop for textiles. I have heard that there's a vendor's market at Grand Anse beach, but it sounds heavily geared to tourist trade/cruiseship passengers. Does anyone know of any other shopping areas not so touristy in or near St. George's? Any info would be appreciated!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmtre2 Posted August 1, 2006 #2 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I was curious about this too and I found http://www.grenadagrenadines.com/shop.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Queen Posted August 3, 2006 #3 Share Posted August 3, 2006 We will be on the Sun Princess in March 2006 with a stop at Granada. I am a quilter and try to collect unusual fabric during my travels. I am still searching for more batik stores and possibly one of the factories on the islands. Some years ago I went on a quilting cruise and went to a batik factory on Dominica. One of the other islands has Carib Batik stores but I don't know if they have any factory tours. Thanks again, Norine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denboy Posted August 6, 2006 #4 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Rather than going to the Vendors Market why not visit some of the local shops around the market place, it is only a few minutes walk from the new cruise terminal. If you are interested in batik there is a shop on Young Street where the work is done within the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Queen Posted August 10, 2006 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I will check out Young Street for Batik shops when we are there in 2007. We plan to do a 1/2 day tour, have lunch and go back for shopping. Thanks again for the batik info. Norine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
