Right in the heart of the Zona Rosa, Artesanías de Colombia stocks everything from straw umbrellas and handwoven ponchos to intricately carved wooden stools and colorful woven Werregue baskets. There are now several branches around the country and, as it has grown, Artesanías' prices have risen, but you'd be hard-pressed to beat their range of products and the convenience of having everything in one location.
Artesanías El Zaque offers especially good buys on hammocks. You'll also find a good selection of ceramics and jewelry here.
This popular shop stocks unique handicrafts, hats, and clothing.
For Antioquian crafts, visit the open-air crafts market held on the first Saturday of every month at the Parque de Bolívar.
Check the outdoor stalls along Pasaje Junín, a pleasant pedestrian street restored to the appearance of its early-20th century heyday, just south of Parque de Bolívar.
