Best places to buy leather goods in Buenos Aires?

[Spend Thrift]

I am not much of a shopper but I have a good female friend that is coming to Buenos Aires next week and she is asking me where to buy some good leather products as she heard Argentina has amazing leather products. Can some of you give your personal experiences on where to buy leather goods? Thanks.

Check out this website. My female friend did this and loved it! I'm not a big shopper either other than electronics and here is too expensive for it.

Good list. Sounds like your friends are doing a lot of shopping.

Just be careful as lots of leather products here aren't high quality. There are all kinds of levels of quality here. Obviously better quality = higher price.

The highest quality leather is mostly exported outside of Argentina where people have bigger budgets. You have to be careful to check the stitching and seams to make sure it's well made. Feel it and if it feels very stiff or too rough it typically means it's treated and dyed to hide all the low quality imperfections with the leather. You can also smell it to see if it smells like chemical products. Genuine leather should smell like leather.


Lower quality and more affordable leather can be found on Murillo Street between Acevedo and Scalabrini Ortiz.


Sylvia y Mario has great stuff. They can do custom jackets. A lot of friends have used them and I have also gotten a jacket here - https://www.silviaymario.com/

Hello! I visited this place in Recoleta and was absolutely delighted with all the products they have. They also offer custom-made clothing, and the delivery usually takes only a few days. The service is impeccable too!

Very very good list. I'd avoid Murillo if you're looking for high quality leather items. It's mostly lower quality there.

Yeah it's mostly cheapo stuff there.
