This company is known for it’s women’s lingerie and comfortable clothes for women. Among the clothes there is a lot of swimwear here. It is not a handmade individual type of store but it does offer some upper end shopping.
This store is located on 5th Avenue between 8th Street and 10th Street. On the west side of the street almost at the corner of 10th Street.
Rosalia
This is for those that appreciate the local made fashion. Light blouses for the tropics can be found here. There are a lot of other textile materials here. It is not high fashion or the highest quality but it is nice to know it is made in Mexico and sort of traditional clothes. Most of the items here come from Chiapas, Mexico.
This store is on 5th Avenue between 12th Street and 14th Street on the east side.
La Bikineria
Looking for the perfect swimsuit? Well you have to come here just because it is a super cute store even if you are not looking for a bikini. Not only do they have great swimwear but also women’s clothes and accessories.

La Troupe
Think white cotton clothes with a bohemian and chic quality. They do have other colors but it is predominantly light in color when you go in. They do carry Dutzi bags which are from Valladolid, Yucatan. If you have not heard of them, you should check them out, even Kim Kardashian has one. They also have a nice selection of pillow covers here.
The store is located between 28th Street and 30th Street on 5th Avenue. It is on the east side and sets back a bit. Look for beautiful tile floor leading into it.
Biuriful
This new store has clothing and accessories especially a good sunglass selection. We like some of the modern look to some of the clothes here. This store is on 5th Avenue between 30th Street and 32nd Street on the west side.
Jula Luna
This store is at the north end of 5th Avenue. It offers unique pieces and hand made items. The clothing is of good quality and the jewelry is exquisite and one of a kind. This store is located on 5th Avenue between 38th Street and 40th Street.

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.
We are happy to hear you found this shop on 5th Avenue. They have some beautiful pieces.
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.

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.

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 ❤️

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.
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.
Did you ever find some plus size store in playa
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.
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.
Hello Noelani
It is called Biwua. Here is their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Shopping—Retail/BIWUA-PLAYA-DEL-Carmen-1500028380292130/
Any suggestions for boho chic interior design products?
Hello Julie
There is a henequen product store on 38th steer between the beach and 5th and also a hammock store across from it. Many of the really good boho chic store are in Tulum but prices are much more. The road between Coba and Tulum is a great place to go shopping because the three towns all make boho Chic things. Also check out our furniture guide to Playa for ideas. https://everythingplayadelcarmen.com/furniture-buying-guide-for-playa-del-carmen/
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?
Hello
It is called Caravan and is on the corner of 32nd and 5th.
Where to go for tall dress shirts for men or women?
Like 18in neck, 36,38 sleeves?
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.
