Baobab Galerie is a unique decor and gift shop in Port Edward, KZN selling an exquisite handmade range of products made of natural fibres such as sisal, raffia, different varieties of reeds and grasses as well as recycled recycled paper and metal.  Alexandre and Michel who own the shop have long been interested in Baobabs, even growing baobab trees, hence the shop name.  The feature of the shop is a 2 meter high metal baobab made from recycled oil drum made by a craftsman in Madagascar and naturally they're now selling Baobab oil, boabab fruit powder and home-made baobab jam!  Their shop is so successful a new shop will be opening soon in Mattison Square between Leisure Bay and Port Edward.
