Do many places sell leather boots and jackets in Argentina in summer?

Question

I know Argentina makes a lot of leather and i will be in BA and MdP over holidays. Will I be able to buy boots/jackets? Its winter where I am so I want to bring leather back, does anyone know if they will sell it in summer? Any particular store to recommend? Thanks!

Answer 1

Flo,

yes, they sell the best leather in the World.  Florida Street in Buenos Aires will sell the products you are looking for.  have fun!

Answer 2

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! No matter the season!

You have two main streets in capital federal (BA) to look around before buying, one is Santa Fe Av. (in Palermo, Recoleta neighbourhood)There are great shops but it's rather expensive

Then you have Florida St, which is closer to Downtown, Florida is a pedestrian street, so no cars will bother you while you have a look :)  It can get very busy in the week, but if you have time to have a look, visit different stores and search for the best price, quality is great in all the shops.

Then in Cordoba Av. there are lots of Outlets but I don't know that place really

In Mar del Plata you'll find great woollen clothes and 'alfajores' (sweets)!!! yummy! :)

Enjoy your visit!

Answer 3

I hear from my professor from Argentina that leather is very popular there year round so I think you will be ok.
