Key West Dream Collection

Key West


This wonderfully eclectic store is a showcase for Key West's creative side with eye-catching vintage apparel, African textiles and glass beads, books and artwork by local writers and artists, and even CDs by homegrown Key West bands.

You can also order your very own Key West Conch Republic passport here, a rather official-looking object ($30), even if it doesn't open many diplomatic doors for you. Passports can be ordered in advance by contacting crpassport@gmail.com.
