Ok, a day trip took us to Pittsboro NC. This town is awesome. We stopped in at a place called French Connections. This place is completely filled with handmade items from other countries...including African carvings, jewelry, bolts of very colorful cloth as well as wood carvings. Wonderful place and we will be returning. If you're in the area, take a trip to Pittsboro and stop in at French Connections. You'll be amazed.

I loved this shop! This is a boutique that has items from around the world. Unique fabrics and decor items. My favorite thing were beaded animal heads made by an artist from South Africa. They are very well made. We bought a rhinoceros head. Makes me smile every time I look at it. Owner was very kind and interesting to talk to. You should definitely stop in. I plan to be back again!
Thank you for the kind words April, glad you are enjoying the Rhino and we look forward to seeing you again!

I am new to the area and have been unable to find African fabric in Fayetteville. So I purchased some african fabric online and was very please with fabric and service. When I realized the store was in NC, I decided to visit. It was a dream come true so many different authentic African fabrics. It was well worth the trip. I can hardly wait for my next visit. The service was great and staff were helpful and patient with my many questions. Prices are great and there is something for everyone's budget.
We are glad you were able to come to Pittsboro and visit the store… Have fun with the fabric and we look forward to seeing you again some day!

This business was recommended by a teacher. To say it is a fun experience is an understatement. There is a wide variety of items available from yard decoration to tiny cars. I noticed several people came into shop. I picked a yellow fabric for a project. Just about everyone can find gifts from France and Africa
We are glad you enjoyed the eclectic mix we offer… thank you for coming to Pittsboro!
