8 Best Shopping in Malta

Camilleriparismode

With another branch in Rabat, Malta's family-run homeware, gifts, and fabric shop is well-established on the scene—it's now on to its fifth generation. From tableware to linens, you'll find work by local designers and plenty of smaller gifts.

Charles & Ron

Malta's self-taught kings of couture may be more commonly found on the runways of New York and Los Angeles's fashion week these days, but the Valletta flagship store of Charles and Ron van Maarschalkerweerd Borg is still the go-to for those who love their laid-back Med style.

Joseph Busuttil

This tiny family-run shop is more than 100 years old and sells a range of quality Maltese crafts including silver and gold filigree jewelry, blown glass, Gozitan lace, and limestone carvings.

SoapCafé

What was originally a stall selling homemade soaps through farmers' markets is now a staple on the shopping scene, with some 50 handmade soaps for all kinds of skin in its repertoire.

Souvenirs That Don't Suck

A neat store run by a group of gifted local designers serving up exactly what it says: caps, notebooks, towels, T-shirts, posters, coasters, and more—all with an edgy vibe.

The Plaza

Back in 1993 this was Malta's first shopping mall, and it's still one of the largest, with a newly revamped food court only recently added. It includes a branch of Bortex, one of Malta's longest-serving suit tailors.

The Silversmith's Shop

Maurice and Matthew Borg's second-generation silversmiths has been on this spot since 1972. It's a great chance to watch traditional Maltese silversmiths craft exquisite handmade jewelry and take home the results.
