Beautiful - and culturally meaningful - things to shop for in Kenya

For many, the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to Kenya is wildlife and safaris. But visitors should also keep in mind this country´s rich artistic and cultural heritage - thanks to its more than 70 ethnic groups such as the Kikuyu, Kamba, Luhya, Maasai, and Kalenjin - both to witness (such as tribal dances) and to buy as mementos of their trip here (esecially masks, figurines, and other forms of sculpture). This beautiful country keeps the spirit of its ancestors alive…

Shopping for winter travel

PickPik Winter may now already be on its way out, but if this one’s for anyone already thinking of next season. A couple of months ago, in preparation for a whirl through the winter wonderland above Norway’s Arctic Circle, I realized that the usual winter togs that serve me well enough in Spain just weren’t going to cut it in serious snow, ice, and temperatures forecasted to drop as low as 5⁼ Fahrenheit (-15⁼ Celsius). So I educated myself about what new cold-weather clothes gear I would need…

Why shopping is one of '6 Ways to Have Authentic Local Experiences when Traveling'

You’ll most likely grab at least one memento from your trip, but instead of visiting flashy souvenir centers focus more on small manufacturers who create authentic art and products. For example, most experienced travelers choose to shop at traditional and farmer’s markets that feature artists and artisans who display and sell their handmade wares—these usually have a much nicer story behind them.

Bad news: The The great Bluestone Gallery in Milford, PA, which displays works by potter and bell-maker David Greenbaum and other nationally known artists and artisans, is going out of business. The good news is that Bluestone has dramatically reduced its prices for its final week. This is a chance to pick up quality pieces at a fraction of what they'd normally cost. http://bit.ly/t7OIRT

I'm leaving for San Miguel de Allende, Mexico next month and wondering if the group has any shopping secrets that they would like to share. I'm interested in unique luxury jewelry, clothing and pottery.

Thanks,

Rose

I can't believe it, but, Yohji Yamamoto is closing his only two shops in North America, both located in NYC... I've been visiting NYC primarily to shop for clothes at Yohji's stores for our restaurant staff and myself for years, and this has to be a huge loss for America. Oh well, we'll have to go to Paris more often!
