Cottage industry in the Dominican Republic

Cottage industry in the Dominican Republic is widespread as  a kind of craft, but the scale of production is not high. This is mainly family production, and artisans are «hereditary», learning from their ancestral skill. However, in recent years, handicraft products have gained increasing distribution, thanks to the development of tourism in the country.Souvenirs are  manufactured by handicraftsmen, can be purchased in specialized markets and  shops, which are many across the country, and on the beaches, or just on the roadside main roads.

Generally the handicrafts are made of ceramic, leather or  semi-precious stones. On the southern coast of the island are well represented various interpretations of Taino gods, a local Indian tribe, as well as bags, belts and shoes from high quality leather.

In 1981, with a light hand of the local sculptor Liliana Mayor, became very famous doll «Limei» — ceramic figure without a face, painted in Creole colors and became an amulet of the country.

There are many variations of the dolls, some of which are  very original and expressive.

Another attraction of the island can be called Larimar — a semiprecious stone blue, which is also called the  Dominican turquoise. This stone was discovered in the 70s, and now it can be found only in the Dominican Republic. Masters made out of it a lot of products, such as rings, necklaces and bracelets, charms and other jewelry, set in a variety of metals, including gold and silver.
