Art D’Cretcheu (Sao Vicente)

Art D’Cretcheu takes great pride in being the oldest fair trade arts and crafts shop in Cape Verde. All of their items are handmade by artists and artisans from the archipelago's nine islands, including wicker baskets, clay figurines, local liquors, artwork, and much more.

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.
