Tienda Puro Diseño Argentino

Description:

• This is one of my favorite stores in Buenos Aires, and it features very high quality, high-design items created by more than 120 Argentine designers, with only Argentine materials, in Argentina, all at good value. The idea came from a design expo of the same name, which in spite of the country's economic crisis was successful enough to lead to a stand-alone store. The concentration is on home design, but products also include jewelry, clothing fashions, leather accessories, and children's products. Many of the household items have an updated frontier feeling. Leather, one of Argentina's most important products, also plays a strong role in many of the designs. The store has relocated from its former location in the Recoleta Design Center. It's open from Monday through Saturday from 10am to 8pm.
