Christopher’s Home Furnishings
Filled with sumptuous items for the home—and overseen by a staff of interior designers who know their field—Christopher’s may be more fun for people who are redoing their homes on the island, but browsing the chic collection can also lead to whimsical objets that just might fit in your luggage.
L’Ile de France: The French General Store
The small Francophile shop moved to a new location next to Black Eyed Susan’s. When you’re waiting for a coveted table at the restaurant, pop in to browse through pottery from Burgundy, santon figurines from Provence, handmade leather bags, and soaps from Marseille. Bigger items include bistro tables and copper pots and pans. You can even order bread from French bakery Poîlane, which is delivered weekly.
Lion’s Paw
The home boutique carries elegant housewares including linens, glassware, china and tablecloths. On my recent trip, I loved the stuffed animals by Kenana Knitter Critters, made of hand-dyed wool by women in rural Kenya (part of the proceeds go to their collective).
