  • 1. Chichi Shop Punda

    Punda

    You'll see the striking, colorful Chichi characters all around the island, as everything from key chains and other iconic Curaçao souvenirs to larger-than-life sculptures. "Chichi" means "big sister" in the local lingo, and the figures are meant to exude the warmth of matronly Caribbean women. The line was created by the artist Serena Janet Israel, who has trained many local female artists to paint them. If you're looking for one-stop shopping and don't want to travel to Serena’s Art Factory—where the brand originates—head to this store tucked away on an alley near Gomezplein. The outlet is open late during Punda Thursday Vibes.

    You might have noticed brightly painted sculptures of colorful Caribbean women in many public places around the island, not to mention miniature versions of them for sale as souvenirs. These are Chichis®—created by the artist Serena Janet Israel and unique to Curaçao.

Serena has trained many local female artists to paint them, and you're also welcome to paint your own for a one-of-a-kind souvenir at Serena’s Art Factory near the Ostrich Farm. Walk-in workshops are offered twice weekly and private workshops are available on demand. A stand-alone shop in Willemstad's Punda district also sells Chichi items and offers occasional workshops.

  • 19. Nena Sanchez Gallery

    Punda
    Under Renovation

    Although legendary local artist Nena Sanchez has passed away, her work lives on in colorful murals all over the island as well as in this downtown gallery, which stays open late on Thursday for the Punda Vibes celebration. In addition to showcasing original works, the gallery sells reproductions in the form of prints, canvas bags, pillowcases, tiles, and other items that make ideal souvenirs. Another remaining tribute to the artist is out in the countryside west of the city at Landhuis Jan Kok, where she once conducted workshops. It's now a place to admire the unique interior—painted and decorated by the artist herself—view the on-site larger-than-life sculptures, and shop for recreated items.
