STYLE: LUX: In the old fort area there are high-end jewelry shops selling Tanzanite. Tanzania has the only reserve of these stones - ranging in colour from purples to deep blues. LOCAL: The labyrinth of Stone Town’s small streets is a shopper’s paradise. From home antiques, paintings, spices and clothing, there is something for everyone. The men’s white cotton kaftans are super chic. Vibrant Kanga/ Kitenga fabric- sold by the yard- is a must. Printed with new patterns and slogans monthly, they make excellent scarves, beach blankets and sarongs. December 2013 |
