Librería Casa Bosques

La Roma Fodor's Choice

Set in fashionable building with a small cluster of art- and design-related spaces, this small, beautiful bookstore specializes in titles related to art, architecture, fashion, and photography. You'll also find a selection of handmade stationary and paper goods as well as interesting locally made gifts, including artisan chocolates. Casa Bosques often hosts signings and readings as well.

Mercado Medellín

La Roma Fodor's Choice
Inside this colorfully painted brick market building that's officially named Mercado Melchor Ocampo, you'll find rows and rows of stalls stocked with sausages, bacalao, nopales, candies, spices, nuts, mole pastes, and sauces of every kind, plus small restaurants selling tasty street-food bites like pozole, arrachera, chile rellenos, Cuban ice cream, and Colombian coffee. It's one of the better organized and less chaotic of the city's many traditional mercados, and it stands out for having vendors hawking goods from a number of other Latin American countries. It's an excellent place to shop for snacks as well as other kinds of gifts, from locally made crafts to household goods. There's also an enormous section devoted to flowers.

Originario

La Roma Fodor's Choice

On the ground floor of a handsome Porfirian town house, this striking showroom displays the colorful furniture and housewares of celebrated designer Andrés Gutiérrez. These often chunky, curvy pieces, from lamps and bookends to end chairs and dining tables, are cast in eye-catching colors and make bold design statements. His pieces often look as though they'd fit perfectly in one of Luis Barragán's homes.

Proyecto Rufina

La Roma Fodor's Choice

The mission of this beautiful little boutique is to promote and pay consistent and fair wages to artisans and clothing designers from throughout Mexico. The major draw here is women's fashion, including stylishly casual blouses, jackets, pants, and sweaters in earthy hues and constructed with natural fabrics. But there's also an extensive collection of goods for the kitchen and home, including pillows, candles, bowls, and planters. There's a second location in Condesa.

Vintage Hoe

La Roma Fodor's Choice

This playfully named shop opened by a Cuban-American stylist who relocated to CDMX has been a beacon in the city's fashion community since 2007. Look to the unabashedly over-the-top boutique for carefully curated men's, women's, and unisex threads from top international design houses as well as shoes, bags, and home accessories. 

180º

La Roma

This boutique carries modish fashion for the city or the beach, much of it by young, Latinix talents. You can browse slick sunglasses by Mexican-born Miami designer Sunny Patoche, Mónica Márquez chunky women's boots, stylish Paruno men's shoes, and the store's own print tote bags and playful T-shirts. There's an interesting selection of skateboards, too, as well as books and other whimsical gifts.

Happening

La Roma

This buzzy boutique on a quiet side street carries a lot of interesting locally made clothing, shoes, and accessories as well as lotions, soaps, and whimsical household goods. The colorful ceramics and glassware make wonderful gifts or keepsakes. 

Kameyama Shachuu

La Roma
Both serious and amateur chefs are drawn to this shop for its radiant Sakai Takayuki knives. Available in a wide range of designs and types of handles, they are hand-forged on-site using a style that's been carefully maintained in Osaka for 800 years.

Retroactivo

La Roma

One of a few shops around Roma where you can find vinyl LPs, this funky little shop has an especially impressive selection, including hard-to-find treasures from Latin America and Europe. And you can listen before you buy on a handful of turntables in the store. Prices are fair, and the cheerful staff is very helpful.

Roma Vintage

La Roma

One of the better vintage shops in town, this small but well-stocked boutique is part of a small collection of stores run by curator and stylist Nata Paniagua. You'll find a range of fashionable goods here: retro T-shirts, leather jackets, designer labels, jewelry, sunglasses, cowboy boots, and much more.

Sangre de mi Sangre

La Roma
Artist Mariana Villarreal creates one-of-a-kind jewelry in this small boutique on the ground floor of the stately beaux-arts Balmori Mansion near Casa Lamm Cultural Center. Stop in and browse her collections of silver and gold earrings, necklaces, and rings, often with inlaid precious stones. Naturalistic, neo-Gothic motifs—skulls, bumblebees, stars, leaves—figure prominently in her whimsical designs.

Viriathus

La Roma
In this rambling, historic Roma Norte town house, two brothers and business partners with a passion for collecting one-of-a-kind historical memorabilia and antiques sell their treasures to the public. Just walking through each room is great fun—more so, really, than touring some of the city's somberly baroque house-museums. You'll find expensive and rare items (a 1790s map of the Americas, a 1930s oak credenza) along with a number of smaller and more affordable pieces, including model ships, vintage valises, fine books, and framed artwork.
