Capital
There’s nothing you really need at this super fun knickknacks store – unless it’s that very creative recycled purse (made from soda can pop tops) or that stringy but hip wet-dog-looking rug. Sexy female anarchists should stock up on the Che Guevara bikini. Needless to say, this spot is a great wander through with friends.

Mission
Tucked into a side street near Plaza Serrano is this small shop with Argentine-made crafts and souvenirs. It’s a good place to pick up some gaucho knives, a leather belt, a mate (Argentinian tea) set or some flattened wine bottles for dad. Or you might go for the cowhide pillow covers or a full cowhide rug. Quality is high.

Arte Étnico Argentino
Bright and beautiful woven mantas (blankets) are the main attraction at this upscale shop, located in an old house. The most detailed ones are, unsurprisingly, the most beautiful and expensive. All are made from wool and natural dyes, and can also be used as light rugs. Expect to pay from AR$1800 up.

Atípica
This tiny shop stocks crafts from Argentine artists who use indigenous techniques for their works. All are handmade and unique, and include picture frames, wall hangings, mask replicas, gourd bowls, small boxes, textiles and jewelry. Quality is high and prices fair.

Cualquier Verdura
Located in a lovely, refurbished old house, this very fun store sells eclectic items from vintage clothing to entertaining soaps to recycled floppy-disc lamps to novelty toys. Note the mate-drinking Buddha above the fountain in the patio.

Kelly’s Regionales
Cowhides, Mapuche ponchos, animal masks, alpaca knives and mate gourds are all good ethnic buys at this large souvenir shop, but plenty of cheap souvenir knickknacks also line the shelves.
