Things and Stories is a Timorese social enterprise that sells handmade goods from more than 800 artisans around the country. Each product comes with information about who made it and where, which makes it a good place to buy gifts if you will not have time to visit craft groups in the districts.
Where to find it
The official tourism listing gives four outlets in Dili:
- Hotel Timor
- Timor Plaza shopping centre
- The Timorese Resistance Archive & Museum
- Presidente Nicolau Lobato International Airport (handy for last-minute gifts)
What you can buy
Tais and other textiles, baskets, carvings, jewellery, coffee and other locally made products.
