Want to buy locally made leather goods while in Mexico City? Don't bother shopping here if you are…read morea tourist. We followed Covid-Protocols, used the correct entrance /exit doors, and used proper manors for this situation. But when we walked in, we could not get the attention of any of their three staff behind the counter to inquire about the bags on display. So we went back outside, and took a picture of the bag I wanted to look at in one of their display windows. We speak some Spanish, but not enough for this. So in Google translate I asked if I may see the bag in their window and thought I could show them the picture. The first sales person walked away when we tried this. So we tried a second staff member. When we got their attention they flatly ignored what I had written and pulled down another bag that was nothing like the one from their window. When I tried to tell them that isn't the bag in their display window, they walked away to assist another customer. I'm not sure how I could have been anymore polite, respectful or clear, so honestly if you are a tourist or are not fluent in Spanish, don't try shopping here. Spend your money at shop that is willing to assist you, even with a language barrier.

This leather store is located in tepico market in the centro. It's a bit intimidating at first,…read morebecause the market is so huge. But find this place if you're looking for leather goods. My husband bought me a jacket from here as a gift but it didn't quite fit so we headed back to exchange it. I was wary that a store in a market like this would have an exchange policy but sure enough they did. The guy that helped us was really kind and got me all the sizes, colors and styles I wanted to try on. I ended up with a dark brown leather bomber jacket...the leather is soft, it fits great, and it looks like a jacket I would have paid a lot more for in New York. They have black, brown, tan, mint green, hot pink, white leather and all the styles you can think of. There were a lot of purses but I spent so much time looking at the jackets I didn't have time to sort through those. Next time I'll be sure to. This place is definitely a find!

I found a couple pairs of jeans, and ended-up leaving with a birron down long sleeve shirt from the 80's. It seemed like the value was pretty decent for what they were offering. The service was just so so, because it was hard to get the attention of the only person working here. She was busy on her phone. This store is worth visiting and you could probably discover some good finds here.
