  4. I bought a white on white embroidered light cotton blouse at Rosalia’s. It’s beautiful and well made and it was a good price. I’ll be back to Playa del Carmen in January and I will definitely go back to Rosalia’s. Good tip.

  5. I WISH YOU COULD OFFER SOMETHING WITH MORE AFORDABLE PRICES ,THAT STORE THAT YOU ARE RECOMENDING ROSALIA SND CLAIMING TO BE FROM CHIAPAS ,WELL LET ME TELL YOU MOST OF THEM THEY ARE NOT EVEN FROM MEXICO .PLEASE MAKE SOME RESEARCH BEFORE YOU POST AN ARTICLE .I AM TEXTILE DESIGNER AND LIKE ANY OTHER TEXTILE DESIGNER WOULD DO I NOTICE THE PATTERNS A SOON AS I SAW THE PRODUCTS. YOU ARE FREE TO BUY FROM THAT STORE JUST KNOWING THAT THEY ARE NOT MEXICAN ARTISAN MADE PIECES ,ALSO CHECK THE PRICES ,IT LOOKS LIKE AN OUTLET STORE BUT ITS JUST THE “LOOK”.

    • Can you offer proof of where this products are from? Any craft sold on 5th Avenue is going to be more expensive due to the rent. We just arrived back from Chiapas yesterday and the variety and prices were amazingly cheap. If people want to have very good prices, San Cristobal is a great place to visit. Of course many that visit Playa Del Carmen are not going to visit Chiapas because it takes more time or is a little to adventurous to visit.

  6. OMG IS THIS A JOKE?!?!? PSYLO IS BY FAR THE BEST SHOP IN PLAYA DEL CARMEN ! ! !

  7. How is it called the sunglasses store in a little kiosco in paseo del carmen Mall; is between starbucks and the rock font….. but its not solaris or sunglass hut

    • We know what you are talking about. We are not sure the name but it is something like NY Fashion Glasses or something like that. We tried google map street view but you cannot get in there. They have the same stand in Plaza Las Americas in Playa Del Carmen a well.

  8. You must go to Dine “N” Dance !!!! Amazing quality and beautiful flowing pieces & fits all sizes !! We love this place ? it’s classy & sassy & sexy !! You will love it I promise !! The owners are amazing too ??? me & my girlfriend went an bought a few pieces each & I’m going back for more before I leave Playa ❤️

  9. I am searching for white crochet long Boho dress
    Sexy with fringe. I purchased dress years ago in
    Plays Del Carmen. Don’t recall the name
    Please contact me. Need to purchase soon. D

    • Hello Deborah

      We can only offer some assistance since we don’t have more details. Was this dress high end or more basic? OMG Fashion store has closed so that might have been the location. A new location is Dine n Dance and they have Boho Chic styles.

  10. My wife wants to go SHOPPING.Need plus size clothes! Want to go shopping tomorrow!! From canada.
    Someone help? Please! Thx.

    • Plus sizes are very hard to get in Mexico. You might try one of the shopping malls in Playa where there are more options.

        • Hello Lynn

          You might try a store in Centro Maya that is near Coppel. It has a wide range of brands and sizes. It is sort of a closeout store. Overall though it is hard to get larges sizes of clothes in Mexico.

  11. I’m looking for the name of the silver jewelry store right next to Jula Luma. I saw a ring there a while ago and have been looking for it. It had all artisan jewelers.

  12. Hi! I am looking for a store that i visited possibly near 5th avenue that sells boho clothing and jewelry. It looked like Indian type womens fashion with the pashminas, jewelry, hand fans, and outfits. Can you please help me find the name of it?

    • In the center of Playa we don’t think you will find any. Liverpool is a large department store that has a large selection of clothes. In Centro Maya there is a store called Moda we believe, and it has men’s and women’s cloths of many makers.
