When you go shopping in Mexico, it is tempting to buy everything in sight because everything looks so unique and different compared to what you can buy back home. From fashion to accessories to art to homeware, in Valladolid, you can get your retail therapy fix and it’s really affordable too.
Bonito Mercado is a charming combination of a coffee shop and cafe and shop. Many boutique stores have coffee for sale and perhaps it is a smart tactic to keep you in the shop for longer or just fabulous service. You can browse the shop, sit and drink coffee while you decide what you want to buy and have another coffee for the road while the salesperson packages up your purchase. At Bonito Mercado, you can find bags, pottery, artwork, jewelry and other artisan goods. The beautiful items are well made by local artists, so you are supporting the Valladolid and surrounding communities when you buy from here.
Dutzi Design is another amazing shop. Founded by Ariane Dutzi in 2019, you will be in love with her handmade bags made of vintage burlap. The bags are crafted by Mayan women in Valladolid who have been practicing their skills for years. Their craftsmanship is exquisite and of the best quality. There are other lovely things for sale at Dutzi, including hats and fashion accessories.
Pura Piel Artesanias can’t be missed if you are a fan of leather goods. They have a huge array of handmade shoes, belts, bags and other fashion accessories. These 100% leather goods will last a lifetime and will always remind you of your Valladolid vacation.
The storefront of Una Casa Llamada Deseo is hard to walk by. With hats, shoes, decorations, art and many more treasures to be found, this charming little shop is often busy. You can find the most delightful items here and be surprised at the really reasonable price tag. When it comes to handmade Mexican products, this shop and many others around the neighborhood are stocked with things you will have to have.
If you prefer to hit a mall with air conditioning, head over to Plaza San Juan, Mayco or Centro. Most are open until 9 or 10 pm so you can do some late-night shopping and save the daylight hours for sightseeing. There is only so much room in your suitcase, but if you find your luggage allowance is getting near the limit, you can always post or ship your shopping home.
