No matter what’s going on in the world, nothing freshens up your outlook like a New Dress. Add some Caribbean sunshine and a fresh perspective with versatile dresses that present the perfect balance of style and comfort.

Our Caribbean designers give you the best of both worlds with added pizzazz and color infused style.

Shirtdresses

The ultimate essential for your casual wardrobe, the shirt dress is a chic and practical fashion staple that is always on trend. Turn some heads this season with a pop of Caribbean color in a bright red Chaconia or multicolored Paradise Batik shirtdress. Or play it cool in a bright white puff sleeve shirtdress.

The Knit Dress

Knit Dresses are always on trend and are exceptional transitional pieces into spring and summer. These wardrobe must haves are both comfortable and stylish allowing you to make a fashion statement while maintaining the coziness of your winter wear. The Caribbean sleeveless trend is best for warmer summer months but in cooler months you can always layer with a denim jacket or soft shacket.

My journey as an artist of jewelry

Janice Learmond-Criqui — Sun, 21 Jun 2020 16:53:43 +0000

Hi my name is Janice Learmond-Criqui and as an artist of jewelry, I chose ShopCaribe because I wanted my jewelry to be purchased by clients from around the world. ShopCaribe's name is what encouraged me to be a part of their website. It speaks to the Caribbean and if as a client I wanted jewelry accessories from the Caribbean, ShopCaribe would be the place to go and shop.

I got into jewelry as a stress reliever. I had a high stress job and when I got home, I could not unwind. One day while on holiday in Tobago I came across websites that taught you how to make necklaces and earrings. I love the wire bending but realized that it needed a lot of practice. So I purchased the materials and tools and my journey started.

I made so many pieces that I started giving them away as gifts. It gave me pleasure to see the look of happiness when people received my jewelry. I went to a Christmas Bazaar to sell my pieces and there was a woman who liked one of the pieces. She said she did not have the money to buy it but I could see that she was in love with the piece. So I took the piece, put it into a gift bag and gave it to her wishing her Merry Christmas. She was so taken aback by my kindness that she started to cry. I hugged her and said that she was special as I felt a connection with this woman. She said that no one had shown her such kindness in a long time.

Each piece is handmade and made with lots of love. Each piece is a treasure to me. So for those who purchase my pieces I do hope that you will enjoy them as I enjoyed making them.
