Buenos Aires Design
Shopping Centers / Malls, Recoleta
Fodor's Review:
This fledgling mall alongside the Recoleta Cemetery mainly sells housewares -- most of them imported and no less expensive than stuff back home. There are, however, a few shops with noteworthy suitcase-size bits and pieces. Two-level Morph does all manner of quirky colorful household items (think Philippe Starck on a budget). Rival OKKO is all Indian appliqué and heavy rustic furniture. The must-see, though, is one-stop Puro Diseño Argentino (11/5777-6104. www.purodiseno.com.ar), where Argentine designers show off their crafts, jewelry, clothing, accessories, furniture, and household items. This is one of the few places to pick up a one-of-a-kind Manto Abrigo coat, hand woven in luminous colors in the north of Argentina. Other stylish options include leather-bound notebooks, acid-green cow-skin rugs, and cute geometric purses by Dara. The mall's open-air terrace has several cafés and restaurants with views of Avenida del Libertador.
