From the upmarket, swanky Polanco shopping zone with its international brands and designer labels, to the edgier, boutique littered La Roma, Mexico City is a much over-looked shopping destination for any fashion lover. Whether you’re looking for vintage finds, to handwoven artisanal products, here’s the only guide you’ll ever need to shopping ‘til you drop in the Mexican capital.
The Roma neighbourhood of Mexico City is a boutique haven for fashion lovers and Apartment 25 is one of the most popular, not to mention coolest, options available if you love a good statement piece. Here you can find a wealth of international labels that aren’t available elsewhere in Mexico, such as the Swedish menswear brand Cmmn Swdn, as well as more local underground brands such as the up-and-coming, uber cool Weimar Youth.
If you’d prefer to pick up clothing that’s got a more traditionally Mexican aesthetic, then Amanoarte in the quaint San Ángel region of the city is the place you should head for. A favourite with locals and travellers alike, here you can buy handcrafted pieces of clothing and art, the sales of which go towards preserving the traditions associated with their production and helping the indigenous communities they come from.

One of the city’s most well-known boutiques, Fábrica Social has a couple of branches in the capital but we recommend stopping by the one that’s smack in the middle of the historic centre. The items you can find here are both fashion forward, mixing commercial trends with traditional handcrafting techniques, as well as socially conscious; Mexican women from eight distinct communities are brought together to learn craft basics and develop their own textile skills, before being compensated fairly for their collaborations.

Founded in 2007 by Deya Tarno, this is the boutique that’s known for championing Mexican designers, such as the contemporary, muted designs of Sandra Weil and the sculptural designs of CIHUAH both of whom made our list of Mexican fashion brands to watch out for. While Naked Boutique does make for an admittedly more upscale shopping option for the fashion lover, they also offer personal shopping services so you can get the best styles for your shape.
A former winner of the Who’s On Next Vogue México award, Lorena Saravia now has three branches of her eponymous boutique across Mexico, one of which is in Polanco. While Polanco in general is a great shopping spot in Mexico City for anyone who wants to rub shoulders with the Mexican elite and do some designer label shopping, we particularly recommend Lorena Saravia for its delicate and minimalist designs made for the modern yet feminine woman.
