Mexico City Shopping

  1. El Taller Del Mueble

    Despite the name, this shop sells far more than just furniture - which may not fit in your hand luggage. There are some unusual pottery and ceramic pieces, including folksy painted plates and cups, Aztec sculpture copies, wall hangings and unusual masks. Prices are fair.

  2. Esrawe

    This local Mexican designer goes for the minimalist look, with his futon-style modular furniture in lime green and chocolate brown. The retro-style cabinets have hidden drawers, while the imported Naninarquina rugs from Spain give a whole new meaning to 'shag' rugs, with their incredible texture finishes in the shape of leaves and flowers.

  3. Tepito

    The mother of all street markets, Tepito is a maze of semi-permanent stalls spreading east and north from La Lagunilla, with miles of clothes, pirated CDs and DVDs, and electronics. It's also known as the Thieves' Market for its black market goods and pickpockets.
