Guadeloupe: local creations, madras and visit ideas

Guadeloupe is not limited to a single beach or a single island. Between Grande-Terre and the Les Saintes archipelago, the landscapes change, as do the atmospheres, markets, and craftsmanship.

Taking time to enter a local workshop or store allows you to understand another part of the territory: the origin of materials and products, the real gestures performed on site, and the people who turn each idea into a finished piece.

Terre-de-Haut, in Les Saintes

Find Atelier Karaïbes in the town center, just a few minutes on foot from the ferry dock. A visit fits easily into a day spent between the village, Fort Napoléon and the beach.

Saint-François, Grande-Terre

You can also find Atelier Karaïbes at Les Comptoirs in Saint-François, rue de la Liberté, opposite the ferry terminal and just steps from the port.

At Atelier Karaïbes, our clothing is cut and sewn entirely in our workshops. Our madras fabric is woven in France and our wax are precisely sourced avant d’être transformés ici. Pour les T-shirts, nous sélectionnons des supports de qualité ; nos illustrations sont créées par Atelier Karaïbes puis imprimées par nous, on place, dans nos boutiques-ateliers.

You can browse the wax and madras sewing, the small batches of T-shirts or test the variations of the T-shirt to create.

We prioritize local work whenever it matches our expertise, carefully select the origin and quality of materials, products, and techniques, and work in small batches or on demand to produce just enough and limit unsold stock.

The page our commitments presents the origin of our materials, the quality of our products, the local work and the choices accompanying each collection.
