Gate 2 in Terminal 1 means Tailor's Daughter is close
About a two-minute walk from Gate 2 in Terminal 1, Tailor's Daughter sits in the main departures shopping strip as one of the airport’s core souvenir stops. You’re still post-security here, so it’s an easy last-minute pass-by after clearing the single main checkpoint at V. C. Bird International Airport.
This is a straight-up souvenir shop: think Antigua-branded T‑shirts, fridge magnets, shot glasses, and keychains all stacked near the front racks by the Gate 2 side. Deeper in, you’ll usually see small local-style trinkets and beachy items that echo the island vibe, giving you a quick way to grab something that actually says “Antigua” before boarding.
Prices land in the usual airport range, with small magnets and keyrings often under US$10 and basic logo tees running higher, closer to typical tourist-strip tags along Dickenson Bay. If you forgot something for kids, this is one of the few spots in Terminal 1 where you can grab cartoonish island shirts and bright-colored toys without leaving the secure area.
Expect standard daytime opening hours synced with most international departures, roughly from the first wave of flights out of Terminal 1 until the last evening departures clear. Stock leans heavily souvenir over essentials, so don’t bank on serious travel gear here; think mementos, not power banks. One tip: hit Tailor's Daughter right after you check your gate near Gate 2, before the boarding call crunch shrinks browsing time to five minutes or less.
