A Hidden Gem in Ammanford
Nestled behind West Wales Property on Quay Street, Black Rose Gift & Haberdashery is a small but vibrant independent shop that captures the spirit of local craftsmanship and community. Far from a generic chain outlet, this boutique-style space feels like a treasure trove of carefully chosen items, from pretty trinkets and jewellery to practical haberdashery essentials. Whether you’re looking for a thoughtful gift, a special accessory, or materials for sewing and crafting, the shop offers a refreshingly personal alternative to mainstream retail.Gifts and Jewellery with Character
The gift selection at Black Rose leans toward the charming and the handmade, with a focus on items that feel special rather than mass-produced. You’ll find a range of jewellery, from delicate pieces to bolder statement designs, often with a distinctly Welsh or vintage-inspired flair. Souvenirs and keepsakes celebrate local identity, making them ideal for visitors wanting to take home a small piece of Carmarthenshire. The jewellery and gift displays are thoughtfully arranged, inviting slow browsing and the occasional happy surprise.Stitching Supplies and Haberdashery

Shelves and drawers hold a practical assortment of threads, buttons, ribbons, and other sewing essentials, creating a mini haven for those who enjoy making and mending. The selection may be compact, but it’s curated with care, offering the basics and a few delightful extras that appeal to both beginners and experienced crafters. It’s the kind of place where a quick visit can easily turn into a longer browse, especially if you’re in the mood to plan a new project.Local Flavour and Personal Service

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with friendly, knowledgeable service that makes visitors feel genuinely valued. It’s not just a place to buy things, but a small hub of local life where a chat with the owner can be as much a part of the experience as the items on the shelves.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
