Decorate Your Life with Days Worth of Riviera Nayarit Shopping

When you travel, the last thing you want to bring home is something you can get just anywhere. You want a unique slice of life from the place you visited. Be it a piece of handcrafted jewelry, shirt, dress, art you hang on the wall, sculpture you display, or a jar of your favorite homemade salsa, you’ll find it all shopping in Riviera Nayarit.

Modern & Traditional Artwork

Art Walk, Bucerias

The great thing about galleries and art spaces along the Riviera is that they tend to feature an eclectic mix of modern voices and the traditional work that’s inspired them. Steeped in artistic tradition, every village has a rich selection to consider, from furniture at Kim Cawood in Punta de Mita (Las Redes No. 10) to ethereal paintings at Splurge Art Gallery in Bucerias (Lazaro Cardenas 60). Other highlights include San Pancho’s Huapango Arte Mexicano, as well as both Puerto Vallarta’s Centro Historico ArtWalk (Wednesday, 6-10pm) and Bucerias Art Walk (Thursdays, 7-9pm).

Handmade Jewelry & Cutting Edge Fashion

Riviera Nayarit Shopping

Traditional forms of wearable expression across Mexico for centuries, jewelry and fashion are two of the most prominent art forms the nation is known for around the world. The bohemian town of Sayulita is known for both, full of crochet bikinis, iconic Mexican t-shirts, and reverent riffs on classic clothing designs. Highlights include fashion at Revolucion del Sueno (Navarrete 55), and pieces from Tatehuari Jewelry in neighboring San Pancho (Av. Tercer Mundo 90-A).

Bustling Weekly Markets
