Wardrobe
Local stylists find wardrobes at designer shops and boutiques on St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas. Clothing, jewelry, and leather goods with well known European labels are available and beachwear is plentiful. Because the U.S. Virgin Islands is a duty-free port, most European goods are less expensive than on the mainland.
