Cartagena has always been a stylish city: its rich cultural heritage, Caribbean setting and colourful streets give the city a unique style all of its own, and this is reflected in the many fashion boutiques to be found here. From high-end collections selling fashionable clothing to designer jewellery boutiques, Cartagena has shops to suit the tastes of every fashionista traveller who visits. Did you know – Culture Trip now does bookable, small-group trips? Pick from authentic, immersive Epic Trips, compact and action-packed Mini Trips and sparkling, expansive Sailing Trips.

St Dom

Cartagena’s hottest concept-fashion boutique is the place to go for all your luxury fashion and design needs. St Dom stocks art, jewellery, homeware, books, high-end womenswear and men’s clothing. With beautiful clothing by Colombian designers such as Amelia Toro and Claudia Trejos, and a whole floor dedicated to hip accessories such as shoes and bags, St Dom should be the first stop in Cartagena for anyone with a strong interest in fashion and design.

Silvia Tcherassi

Barranquilla native Silvia Tcherassi – who is now based in Miami and has shown her fashion collections on the runways of Paris and Milan – is one of the brightest stars of the Colombian fashion scene. Her luxury fashion boutique in the Walled City of Cartagena has fast become one of the most important and highly regarded of its kind in the country. With a wide range of elegant and tasteful women’s clothing, including many flowing white numbers perfect for the often oppressive Cartagena heat, her eponymous store is theplace to shop for fashionistas in Cartagena.

Casa Chiqui

Chiqui Echavarria – the owner of the Casa Chiqui – is a well-known Colombian socialite, famous for her lavish parties and constant presence in the pages of the national gossip magazines. Luckily for fashion fans, she also decided to open up her very own interior design store in the Old Town of Cartagena. Casa Chiqui stocks everything from stylish bags and sandals to Moroccan lamps and delicately embroidered pillows. If you don’t just want to style yourself, but also give your home an upmarket makeover, then this is the boutique store to visit in Cartagena.

Le Collezioni

‘The Street’ isn’t the name of a high-end Cartagena fashion boutique; it refers to the streets of the Old City itself. There is nowhere better in Cartagena to pick up a fashionable Wayuu mochila bag that the street stalls and markets of Cartagena. These bright and colourful bags have become a must-have accessory throughout the world, and people can be seen sporting them in New York, London and Paris. The bags come in all sizes and colours and are even sometimes customised to the customer’s choice. And the good news is that there’s no need to spend a fortune in a high-end boutique when you can pick up a beautiful mochila during a stroll through the Cartagena streets.
