The Best Fashion Boutiques In Antigua Guatemala

Antigua is probably the best city for shopping in all of Central America, and visitors can become overwhelmed by all of the items that are available to buy. Colourful Mayan textiles and traditional trinkets are on almost every street corner, but if you’re looking for something a bit more stylish, here are seven of the best boutiques in Antigua.

1. Kolt

Store

Kolt is an ethical boutique that produces beautiful and unique handmade Guatemalan leather products. The store works with local artisans and weavers to create fair and stable jobs; therefore, buying yourself some pretty treats from Kolt has the happy bonus of giving back to the local community. Every item at this boutique is a gorgeous reflection of the handmade products that Guatemala is famous for – they really are works of art.

2. La Casa del Jade

Shop

Guatemala is known for its beautiful jade, which has played an important part in the Maya culture for thousands of years. Located inside the Casa Antigua El Jaulón shopping arcade, La Casa del Jade is the best place in the city to pick up some striking handmade jade jewellery. As well as being a jewellery shop, La Casa del Jade is a museum that displays pre-Hispanic jade trinkets, and it also has a workshop where you can admire the work of modern craftspeople.

Luna Zorro

Another ethical shop where you’ll want to buy everything is Luna Zorro. Founder and designer Molly Berry produces lovely fair-trade pieces that are made to order by traditional Mayan weavers and showcase the culture and beauty of Guatemala. Her handwoven towels come in a variety of gorgeous colours and look just as good thrown around your neck as they do on the beach. If you’re looking for an authentic yet super-stylish poncho, this is the place to come.
