Located in the area of Trois Ilets, Galerie Sophen showcases original watercolor creations by artists Sophie and Henry. Each work of art is completely unique (they vow not to sell reproductions, but only original pieces) and depicts gentle island scenes ranging from sailboats to wildlife, all full of colour and life, yet understated and beautiful…

Couleur Ebene is as much a clothing shop as it is a celebration of African and Caribbean Creole textile tradition and fashion. Each and every piece is meticulously crafted and full of life, colour and vibrancy, yet elegant, honest and quite frankly stunning.
