Charleston’s Local Shopping
The number of Charleston local shopping, book, antique, and food items stores is diverse. Our choices prioritize locally-owned companies including Blue Bicycle Books, the Vault/Haute Hanger, and Las Olas–all of which are prospering because of community support for small businesses and, of course, their distinct product selection.
Don’t be concerned about your budget; Charleston has a diverse range of businesses, from high-end brand boutiques like Gucci and Louis Vuitton at The Shops at Belmond Charleston Place. There’s also plenty of shopping for the small ones in your life, with both modern and vintage games and toys on show at Upper King Street’s fanciful Magnifilous Toy Emporium.
If you’re looking for outlet malls and retail complexes, they’re just a short drive away in North Charleston and over the Ravenel Bridge in Mount Pleasant. The Charleston City Market and Charleston Farmers Market are both within easy walking distance of anything downtown, making open market shopping facilities an important feature of the Charleston community.
