Values
Founder Story
Tech entrepreneurs and Jamaican-born brothers, Kadion and Tennyson Preston co-founded Caribshopper. Both were part of the Jamaican diaspora living in the United States and were affectionately called “suitcase warriors.” Every opportunity they had to visit their island home for work or pleasure, they would carry an additional empty suitcase to fill with their favorite Caribbean-made products - from spices and snacks to gifts and decor - to bring back to the US.
Caribshopper was born from a deep desire (and need) to make Caribbean products accessible and convenient to Caribbean fans living abroad and enable Caribbean merchants to become global enterprises, sharing their handcrafted, locally-made products with the world while fostering economic growth in the Islands.
Caribshopper has shipped hundreds of thousands of Caribbean products to all 50 US states and 8 Canadian provinces. Our marketplace features nearly 10,000 products from 650+ brands, primarily from Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, with more countries joining soon.
Our Team
Our team is small but mighty - not unlike the Caribbean. We hail from and live in Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, the United States, Canada, and South America. Our love for the Islands unites us and motivates us each day.
