After a long night of partying and Mexican wrestling with my GF I stumbled on this store while exploring the colonia Santa Maria neighborhood. The owner of this store and brand is super nice and a great artist. They're a streetwear brand focusing on designs based on the artists paintings. They sometimes do collaborations with other artists from MX and other places around the world. They carry artist zines, pins, T-shirt's, jackets, hats, and hoodies. They also have a small selection of skateboards. The store is decorated with memorabilia from travels and art from other artists and the owner. The store is not very large since they mostly carry their own apparel, but they have something for everyone. If you're looking to own a piece of street culture from Mexico City, and don't want to see anymore artisanal stuff, this is the best place to get it.

Due to the stream of tourists flooding the main streets of San Miguel, most traditional products have been bound to the upper streets of the city. Right at the Main Plaza you can only find cardboard hats and sombreros. Anything close to the legit stuff will be more than a thousand pesos. But if you go up San Francisco street, on the right you can find "Creaciones Alcalá", a leather workshop ran by Mr. Alcalá himself. He works different kinds of leather and jute, the original versions of the hats, because he is a man of tradition. Handbags, purses, belts, beer holders. He can even make them to your custom size. If you are looking for a real, long lasting, stylish accessory, look no further. As a man of tradition, he doesn't take credit card and he does not understand english, but he doesn't need to.

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.
