Los Baúles de Juana Cata  (aka Remigio's)  (#8)
Macedonio Alcalá 403 (Plaza Comercial Casa Vieja), Centro
"Remigio's," as this shop is usually known, is my all-time favorite ethnic clothing shop and, hands down, the best source for magnificent Oaxacan huipíles and rebozos (shawls). The formal name of the store refers to the multiple trunks (baúles) in which owner Remigio Mestas stores and displays his extensive stock. Remigio works with village weavers to encourage a return to natural dyes and traditional weaving techniques, including the use of pre-Hispanic back-strap looms. He carries a vast selection of ethnic clothing, both traditional and traditionally-inspired, from all parts of the state. None of this comes cheap, but the textiles are exquisite and unique. Don't miss Remigio's!
