We don’t just make great food and pour good drinks, Key West makes original and authentic products that you can take home with you. So put the generic $5.00 printed t-shirt down and fill your extra luggage space with these hand-made goods from locally owned shops.

Kino’s Sandals

Who doesn’t love a hand-made leather sandal, but what if we told you that almost every design from Kino Sandals is under $20? Key West is home to not only the shop, but also the factory where they’re hand made. It’s the perfect gift for the pickiest of people, and the best news is they take up barely any room in your suitcase, so why not get another….or a few more! They come in so many great colors and styles for both men & women.

Rodriguez Cigars

Authentic tradition, and original taste. Buy enough Rodriguez Cigars and you won’t have to make an occasion to smoke one. Photo // mensjournal

If you leave with anything from Key West, it should be a Rodriguez Cigar. Founded in 1984, they are the oldest operating cigar manufacturer in the Florida Keys. Rodriguez Cigars are rolled with vintage leaves that have been cured, aged through the traditional Cuban manufacturing process. As far as space is concerned, they take up next to none, unless you decide to purchase a box set!

Kermit’s Key Lime Shoppe

This family run shop’s motto is in it’s name…If you can put Key Lime in it, or with it, then they have it! From Belgian chocolate dipped key lime pie bars on a stick to soap and body wash. The entire shoppe features quaint Key West goods that are flavored or colored like our star citrus! You’re sure to fins a little something for everyone on your list.
