Bric à Brac
Your best bet for high-quality art. The friendly owner has a showroom of good-quality West African pieces, and her fixed prices are very reasonable.
-
Grand Marché
This is the place to pick up everything from Togolese football tops to wax cloth (sold by the 2m pagne - the amount needed for a complete outfit - traders sometimes refuse to sell less than this as it's not always easy to shift the rest).
-
Librairie Bon Pasteur
Lomé's best bookshop, a block west of the cathedral. It sells maps and, occasionally, English publications like the International Herald Tribune and Time.
-
Marox Supermarché
Local vendors sell a wide array of fresh fruit and vegetables outside the small Marox Supermarché, which itself is your best bet for meat products.
-
Rue des Artisans
Close to Grand Marché is this relatively low-pressure place to buy woodcarvings and brasswork - including some fetching malachite jewellery - from Burkinabé, Senegalese, Nigerian and Malian traders. The short street is east of Hôtel du Golfe, with some private art galleries at the north end. Come with your haggling cap firmly on.
-
Village Artisanal
At this easy-going centre you'll see Togolese artisans weaving cloth, carving statues, making baskets and lampshades, sewing leather shoes and constructing cane chairs and tables - all for sale at reasonable fixed prices. Lomé is famous for leather sandals; they were originally all made at the Village Artisanal, but you can also buy them around the Grand Marché.
