If looking for made in Latvia gifts, while visiting Latvia for a short time, heading home from Riga on holidays or leaving Latvia forever, here are the best suggestions on where to go to make happy your family and friends.
Riija — probably the best design shop in Riga, which is more than simply an items shop. Offering a selection of crafted in Latvia products, it suggests a whole lifestyle. Here you can find a mixture of contemporary crafted pices and the best examples of traditional crafts. The choice covers products for home, like kitchenware, textiles, light objects, as well as jewellery, apparel, and accessories.
Located on Tērbatas 6/8, it also runs an online shop.
One more spot is Ziemeļmeita, which is slightly less uplifted, smaller in tems of occupied space, but also has a lot to offer, including a selection of beautiful ceramics, cosy knitwear, home textile, and sauna accessories.
The shop is located on Baznīcas 4-1 (entrance from Lāčplēša Street), and also has an internet shop.
If you are on Miera Street, a hipster district not far from the centre, try M50 shop for local design items like T-shirts with silkscreen prints, bags, accessories, and more.
The shop’s address is Miera 17. If in hurry, check their internet shop.
