Who would think that Haiti would be a shopping destination. For Terry Lundgren of Macy's, Lifestyle guru Martha Stewart and designer Rachel Roy in Haiti, this was quite a shopping trip to go to Haiti. They were in the island to explore opportunities to do business as Haiti remains the leader in art and design in the Caribbean. It was reported that the CEO of the superstore Macy's took Martha Stewart and designer Rachel Roy to Haiti to meet Haitian artists and observe first hand the beautiful products they are creating. As of now 25 Macy's stores are carrying Haitian art pieces. this project was initiated following the 2010 earthquake that destroyed many lives in and also put many of the Haitian artists out of business
