Caribelle Batik
Wingfield
Estate, which is the home of Caribelle Batik today, is the place to visit in
St. Kitts which keenly rivals Brimstone Hill in beauty and perhaps history.
It’s a wonderful compliment for a visit to St. Kitts. Little did the very
first owner – John Jefferson know, that today, thousands upon thousands of
visitors to these shores would seek out Wingfield Estate early.
Again, if
you are a nature lover, you’ll soak up the 350 year old saman tree there,
and the unique vegetation that lines the road close to the great house.
You’ll be absorbed inside by the wonderful works you’ll experience. You’ll
be transfixed.
The
Caribbean weather can be warm at times and no place like Caribelle Batik at
Wingfield Estate provides for that. They use the best sea island cotton to
make summer friendly clothing for men and women and even children.
There are beach wear, maps and the works. To make you more comfortable, they
even offer a tour of the plant at Wingfield and demonstrate how they apply
all the batik skills. St. Kitts is really the home of batik and you
shouldn’t go home without some. They’ll fascinate you by their
demonstration.
