Shopping in Cusco, Peru: 6x the coolest concept stores
Cocoliso
First up on my list, Shopping in Cusco is Cocoliso. It is a cute and bohemian shop with jewelry, hats, bags with cool prints, alpaca sweaters, scarves, gloves and ponchos. Everything is handmade by people from the surrounding communities and made from 100% alpaca and baby alpaca wool. Cocoliso is located on a small courtyard on Calle Palacio. You might have to search a bit because you pass quickly!
A La Lau
A La Lau has two branches, one on Avenida del Sol and one halfway between Cuenta San Blas, up the mountain from the plaza. Both stores have beautiful and durable items from young Cusco designers!

Bags, hats, notebooks, make-up bags, dresses, paintings, photos and beautiful clothing. In this store you will find everything and it is lovely to walk around. On the second floor of the L’atelier cafe concept is a small cafeteria with fresh cakes, coffee and tea. From the balcony you have a nice view of the Calle Carmen Alto and San Blas neighborhood. There are two branches in the same street: L’atelier cafe concept and L’atelier by Grid.
