The best fashion and gift stores Malta

This shop of fair trade and organic items produced in Gozo and elsewhere has changed address and owner but the principle remains the same as in the previous shop: to offer only products that are environmentally friendly even if their range has been expanded. In a small space you will find a cheerful and colourful bazaar with shampoos, soaps, chocolate bars, jams, honey, pretty postcards and placemats. In short, something to take home with you.

Opened in 2010 Malta's most modern shopping centre was created in the former Fort Tigné. To get there, climb the very modern staircase and stop at the balcony with a view of Valletta in the background, leave a padlock there to seal your love. Once inside, the mall stretches over three floors with numerous generalist boutiques (Mango, Springfield, Armani Jeans, Mango, Guess, Lacoste, etc.). Little tip on the escalator, hold your... left. Even if you have to admit it, no one will try to pass you.

Laundry and dry cleaning. Service in the day.

Many gold and silver articles made on site.

But also very beautiful lace articles from Gozo.

A modern shopping centre with air conditioning and transparent lifts. His big store is Corner: clothing and decoration in the same style as our Habitat. You will also find a Mac Donald's in the basement, a Body Shop for Ecological Beauty, and Accessorize, an English chain specialized in accessories. Not to mention the many fashion shops.

It is the most recent shopping and leisure centre in Valletta. Bookshop, mobile phone, clothing, fast dining, cinema and bingo room on nine floors.

With bank, change, souvenirs, cafeteria, gymnasium, shops.

A modern shopping centre and an appointment for young people, which is a major driving force for tourism. Here you find the most connected music shop of the island, Exotic, the trendy clothing shops.

Echarpes, flags, coats of arms and other objects (more or less recent) of local and European football clubs. A real Ali Baba cave.

International press, books on Malta.

This library offers many books on Malta: historical, linguistic, geographical, artistic or geographical. Most often in English only.

International press, some works on Mlate and Gozo, facing the bus station.

For enthusiasts of cars, boats and other models. A little bit out of the window, in the little lane linking Saint Lucia street and Republic Square.

The reputation of Santa Lucia Street is not usurped, it is indeed the Mecca of the jewellers whose stalls hold almost all the street. But Mvintage breaks a little with the look of her sisters. The creations are modern and colourful but just as Maltese and artisanal because the jewels made are unique creations. You will be able to learn the meaning of the stones, have your name engraved, a message or ask for other personalizations. An aesthetics that is not without making you think of some of Agatha's creations, in addition to the local ones.

These two designers, respectively Charles van Maarschalkerweerd Borg and Ron van Maarschalkerweerd Borg, are the leading figures of Malta's fashion week. Rather logical since they highly claim their Mediterranean and Maltese culture. With multiple references to Maltese identity visual signs, in the forefront of which is the Maltese cross, carefully integrated into their logo and reproduced on all elements including jeans. Dresses, scarves also wear flowers, the Maltese falcon or lizards, via a very colourful collection. In this shop, which opened in 2016, you will find many bags and jewellery, designed in the same spirit. A visit is essential, if only for the pleasure of the eyes.

This independent boutique is the ideal place to find products made by local craftsmen. It's also a workshop. You'll find unique accessories created by local designers as well as vintage products. Handmade leather accessories, perfumes, home accessories, posters, but also gourmet products, teas, coffees, island-produced honeys and wines, jams and chutneys... You'll love the quality selection. Birgu Blue also offers workshops for designing and sewing leather accessories.

To find this nugget, you will have to go to one of the small cobbled streets of Victoria, a little away from the most usual circuits. This will be the opportunity to meet Oana, a Romanian woman who fell in love with Gozo in 2010, and who is sure to share with you her passion for all things handmade, which led her to open this boutique-studio in 2021. In all its forms, macramé is in the spotlight (deckchairs, bags, armchairs...) but not only. There are also knitwear, weavings, pottery, from her and other artisans of the island.

If you've fallen for the blown glass creations that are one of Malta's specialities, go to this small boutique which has the advantage of selling Mdina Glass' productions at much cheaper rates than those of souvenir shops or the airport, and with a very large choice since it is set up on two floors. Frames, lamps, vases, crockery, jewellery and a variety of coloured glass objects make excellent gift ideas for all budgets. You can even purchase Christmas decorations...

After sixty years in Malta, the iconic English brand finally opened a store in Gozo in 2022, which has set up shop almost opposite Rundle Gardens in a beautiful two-story space. On the first floor, fans of the house will find multiple varieties of teas and can stock up on the right cookies to go with them, as well as linens and tableware. On the other two levels, you'll discover men's and women's fashion and be able to stock up on some great British looks.

Even if you don't go to one of its many opera or concert performances, here is an opportunity to take a look at this superb theatre, the oldest in the Commonwealth since it was built in the 18th century. It also has a nice shop where you will find many books (in several languages) about Malta: tourism, society, cuisine, history, etc. But also some souvenirs: posters, postcards...
