This boutique wouldn’t look out of place in Malibu. Beautiful vintage charm, elegant style and faultless personal service by charming assistants, local designer Gloria Angulo’s serene store is a welcome escape from the bustling city.

The concept store is housed in a 300-year-old colonial house and carries prêt-à-porter fashion, luxury accessories and beautiful artisanal crafts. High arched doorways, exposed-brick walls and a beautiful tropical centrepiece, the St. Dom specialises in showcasing the best of young Colombian talent.

It’s more of a shop than a museum, and perfect for buying some of the country’s finest chocolate. Watch how chocolate is made in the on-site factory, participate in a chocolate-making course or just swing by the gift store to satisfy your sweet tooth.

The flagship store of this original Colombian purveyor of ruffled, feminine frocks. The talented designer Silvia Tcherassi is a true costeña hailing from Barranquilla and has designed a whole collection based on Gabo’s work.

This souk-like store is owned by the fashionable Chiqui de Echavarría, aka the tropical Daphne Guinness, who stocks a huge range of fun, beachy products from all over the world.
