The spring-summer season is the favorite to visit San Miguel because the weather we have right now in the city lends itself to wearing the most colorful, light and comfortable outfits, always with a very chic and personal touch. We all love to travel and explore new destinations looking good for photos (which can never be missed) and to stop at some cute place to have breakfast, brunch or lunch, it's part of the experience.
This exciting source of style that the city has become has been largely thanks to the different shops and concept stores that have opened their doors to offer the best of local Mexican design and from other parts of the country; things very well done that do not ask for anything from foreign brands but on the contrary: that propose and highlight the work of artists and artisans who have been creating under a national identity for generations. Here we present you precisely 7 places where you can find everything from clothing to accessories and other infallible details to create the ideal San Miguel outfit, and take a couple of souvenirs home to your family and friends.

A small, cozy space with an endless number of brands, clothes and accessories for everyone. We always enjoy stopping by Áurea to see what's new and take a look at things we hadn't seen before. One of its pillars is that, in addition to presenting the most exclusive Mexican design, each piece exhibited here is under a fair price system for its creators, so everything you buy here is adding value to the communities and designers who produced it.
What can you find? Everything really: hats, shirts, shoes, jewelry, textiles, pillows, notebooks, and gifts that will make you look good with your loved ones.

An icon of Mexican style and design. The famous former Casa Cohen is a wonderful and vast space where you can discover and purchase the most select fragrances, accessories, hats, jewelry and clothing from renowned designers that have been worn by the trendiest personalities in the world.

Inspired by global trends and curated with spirit and a lot of love, this designer store has become one of our favorites precisely because of its eclecticism and because every time we go there we find something that calls to us and we love. Colorful and fantastic textiles and embroidery in all their presentations, handmade jewelry, garments of all kinds to look fresh this season... At Mixta you will find the ideal piece for the winning outfit.
If the colors and life that San Miguel exudes could be concentrated in one place, it would definitely be here. That magic and charm that all these shops possess is difficult to find anywhere else in the country. There is a vibe that communicates naturally and that makes you come back.
HOLY SHEET BOUTIQUE

Another designer store located in a prime spot, in this case, in the Hotel Casa Blanca, welcoming locals and foreigners with its large interconnected rooms where you will find racks and racks of dresses by Mexican designers, display cases with fine jewelry and accessories for the most demanding and sophisticated styles.
One of our obsessions is the boots of all kinds that can be found in its aisles, and the best thing of all is that several of its collections are unisex, so the most fluid people will find a design paradise in this store. As a tip, you can always stop for a moment in the beautiful courtyard to take a photo after your shopping session.
ROMA QUINCE CONCEPT STORE

Sobriety is something we also love, because it always brings elegance and an aura of mystery that is impossible to ignore. At Roma Quince they have that “I don't know what» that captivates us and makes us not want to leave the store. Here, in addition to accessories, you can find high-quality clothing, hand-woven bed linen and some decorative pieces that will give that 'expensive' touch to any space in your home.
Designed more like a showroom, walk through its rustic and antique walls and hallways to discover new objects at every step, enjoy its garden that is quite Instagrammable and continue your journey in search of that which will make you look incredible.
