St. Barth is very well known for its chic boutiques in Gustavia, St. Jean and La Savane across from the airport. Visitors from around the world appreciate the superb selection of European fashions, famous maker accessories, stylish lingerie and designer jewelry. As in France, many shops close for a long (2-3 hour) midday déjeuner but stay open as late. The island's duty-free status certainly enhances the shopping experience. Top quality merchandise that costs a fortune "back home" is sold in St. Barth at reasonable prices.

Laurent Effel now with 4 stores, has been serving St. Barths for over a decade selling beautiful leather belts, colorful linen shirts, bags, and shoes. As a matter of fact, many have rated Laurent Effel as one of the best stores to visit on St. Barths. Expect the newest chic French styles at great prices.

We have become famous because of our refined craftsmanship and use of the highest quality of materials available. The workmanship is carried out exclusively by craftspeople experienced in working with leather goods, using only first class materials, ensuring optimal functionality and resistance to wear and tear as well as a highly accurate tailoring.
