SHOPPING: Fashionable Medellín

Medellín’s renowned centuries-old textile tradition has made it the hub for major Latin American textile, garment, and fashion shows. Shoppers have a wealth of choices: leading Colombian and foreign designers have shops and boutiques in the most upscale malls and showcase their latest creations in display windows along Vía Primavera y Provenza, near Lleras Park in the El Poblado district of the city.

A host of other large malls, many of them architecturally interesting, are the best source for well-known Colombian and international brands:
