Mauritius has a variety of shopping ranging from modern malls to bazaars and flea markets. The Caudan Waterfront Complex (Old Pavillon Street, Port Louis) is one of the main shopping centers on Port Louis, but the Cascavelle Shopping Mall (Bambous, Flic-en-Flac) is also popular. Aside from regular fashion and souvenir shops, the malls have a number of duty free stores which are popular with those in search of wool or cashmere clothing, watches or diamonds.
Outlet centers lure brand bargain hunters, particularly those interested in Ralph Lauren and Billabong beachwear, both of which are made in Mauritius. The Super U (Coromandel, Brand Bay) outlet is one of the main places tourists go, although there are other outlet malls at Arsenal, Curepipe and Port Louis.
The Central Market (Farquhar Street, Port Louis) is not only a famous attraction where visitors can pick up souvenirs and curios, but is the place many locals go for fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, and seafood. Popular Mauritian made items include flavored tea, perfumed oil, rattan handbags, rum, vanilla, and coffee. More unusual items include ethnic jewelry and model replicas of historic ships.
