St Barts is one of the Caribbean's most distinctive luxury shopping destinations, and one of the many St Barts experiences that make the island so unique. In the heart of Gustavia, prestigious international fashion houses, fine jewelry and watchmakers sit alongside independent designers and resortwear boutiques. From iconic names such as Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Dior and Prada to Cartier, Bvlgari, Rolex and Richard Mille, luxury shopping in St Barts combines French elegance with the relaxed sophistication of the Caribbean. Better still, the island's statute allows products to be sold tax-free, so as you stroll the streets of Gustavia and Saint-Jean, every jewel, watch or swimsuit seems to shine a little brighter under the Caribbean sun.
