Such an incredible delight. The clothing is of the very best quality fabric and tailoring. There are many beautiful ready to wear pieces, and they will also quickly tailor something for a perfect fit. I had two pieces handmade in just a day. Our very favorite part of beautiful Saint Louis.

This market has EVERYTHING you could every want to purchase in Senegal: basic t-shirts, batiks, clothing, tailors making clothes on site, one of a kind items that you didn't even know you wanted! The prices are right and you can always negotiate. The Senegalese think tourists who don't bargain are crazy. Please understand, this place is packed to the rafters with merchants and merchandise. PACKED! It's like no place you've ever seen and can be overwhelming if you don't go in prepared: 1. Wear comfortable clothing and footwear. 2. Do not take a large bag, backpack, or purse because space is limited and it'll be in the way. 3. People will call after you, and may even follow you, to encourage a visit to their stall. These are true merchants and merchants "hawk" their wares. 4. If possible, go with a local who can negotiate for you. 5. Have your calculator so you can convert the currency. Even if you can't communicate, everyone can read the numbers on the screen. 6. Never pay the asking price, always negotiate. Always! 7. Take your time. There are hundreds of stalls and merchants here. Many have similar merchandise, but all have unique items. Venture to the upper floors where it's a little less (very little) chaotic. 8. Go with smaller bills: $500, $1000 and $2000 CFA. 9. Do not shop at the stalls that sell imported, inferior goods from China. These stalls are generally selling non-traditional items that you can already get from your local dollar store, and are easily identifiable. NOTE: these stalls have also knocked off traditional African fabric. The quality is inferior, in some instances it will even be stamped made in China. Beware! 10. Go with an open mind and patience because this place is not like your local mall. Know before you go!

8. L'Atelier des Femmes - La Liane
For more than 10 years, the association La Liane has been helping street children, isolated women in need. Providing help goes through financial independence and this is why La Liane opened a workshop dedicated to the works created by these women. The objects offered for sale are ecological, hey are typical of Africa and St. Louis, they are original and do not compete with local commerce.
