Harvest A Deal
Too often, White Harvest Trading Company remains a secret because of its off-the-beaten track location on the corner of Petigru and Commerce Drives in Pawleys Island. Everyone who discovers the place, though, becomes infected with an irrefutable case of enthusiasm.
White Harvest Trading offers a marketplace for a wealth of goods handmade by loving Chinese and South Asian craftspeople. A beautiful selection of imported baskets take center stage, but that’s far from the whole story. There’s freshwater pearl jewelry, seagrass rugs and other handmade items. There are pet carriers, pretty trays, storage boxes, clothes hampers, wastebaskets, candles and Christian products, as well as pashmina shawls and scarves, embroidered tea towels and napkins, artwork galore, Chinese porcelain figurines, handmade coasters, handmade bookmarks, handmade purses, doormats, bamboo mats, placemats, cabana pillow cushions and silk pillows, Hand-painted Scripture Scrolls are an especially popular item. Featuring Bible scriptures written in Chinese, these delicate wall hangings make meaningful, beautiful gifts. Be sure to check out a seasonal line of Christmas products.
You can shop online at whiteharvestradingco.com. See pictures and learn more about the people who actually make the products that end up gracing the shelves at White Harvest. Despite a great website though, we recommend hands-on shopping whenever possible. At the main light in Pawleys Island, turn west (away from the ocean) and take the second right onto Petigru. Travel approximately half a mile. White Harvest is on the right, on the corner of Petigru and Commerce. (Just down the street from the Waccamaw Neck Library.)
