Where to shop in Key West

One of the most frequently asked questions we get is where can I find gifts made by local artists. There’s one place to go, and it’s the newest shopping destination dedicated to local artists and creatives - the place to find handcrafted one-of-a-kind items from our friends right here in Key West. The Shops at Mallory Square, located at 291 Front Street, features specialty stores, art galleries, exhibits, and more. Here are a few of our favorites; Bella Laine, Ocean Blue Studio, Washed Up Key West, and Key West Soaps.

Kathy James Westlund had this to say about her experience, ‘I love Washed Up Key West. With recycled wood and more you create wonderful pieces of furniture and decor. Love my charcuterie board.”

We love their mission!
