Opened in 2014 by Thibault van der Straete, a French artist and designer based in Peru, this concept store is located in a restored colonial house on a quiet street in the bohemian Barranco neighborhood. The unique space showcases Thibault’s high-quality alpaca clothing and furniture alongside books and other Peruvian goods. The store also has a café that serves coffee, wine and snacks.

Claudia Lira

Claudia Lira studied silversmithing and goldsmithing design in the Netherlands and worked as a jewelry designer in Florence and Amsterdam but returned to her native Peru to establish her eponymous company. Her clean, contemporary pieces incorporate precious metals and stones as well as such local materials as Andean opals, spondylus and titanium— even seeds from the jungle.

Dédalo

Dédalo’s home—an attractive colonial-style mansion in Barranco, with wide columns and massive wood doors guarded by Botéro-esque cow statues—signals the high-quality of the goods inside. What it doesn’t indicate is just how large the store is. Dédalo is really a mini department store purveying the best of Peru’s products. I found the first large room, filled with brightly colored glass- and woodwork, the least appealing but was enchanted by those further in, each devoted to an individual craft, like textile, leather and woodwork, and featuring up-and-coming such Peruvian designers as Titi Guiulfo, Meche Correa and Wanaya. One room is dedicated to Recurseo, a regional enterprise that uses recycled materials in all its products, from purses decorated with balloons to chairs constructed from corrugated cardboard. In the jewelry room, look for the stylish horn rings. There’s also a little garden café in the back where you can get coffee, fruit juice or a snack.

El Cacaotal

For great Lima shopping, don't miss El Cacaotal, a chocolate shop selling artisanal bars from individual farmers and producers.

Ilaria

Ilaria Ciabatti, a Florentine artist who once taught school in Lima, may have done more for raising the profile and traditions of Peruvian silversmiths than anyone in the past decade. She founded her company in 1992 to export sterling silverware and jewelry to a store in Milan and then to shops in Paris, Spain and Switzerland. The work she commissioned from local artisans sold so well that she began to work with them on creating jewelry incorporating such local materials as Andean opals, sodalites and Peruvian turquoises. Today she employs more than 100 artisans, has 26 stores and is considered the Elsa Peretti of Peru, both for her jewelry and for her home designs.

Kuntur Wasi

Thirty years ago the owners of this shop began traveling to Cusco and other regions known for their traditional folk arts and weaving, and exporting their finds to stores like Putumayo in New York. As interest in the craft items grew, both abroad and within Lima, they decided to turn an area of their house in Miraflores into a gallery for their wares. There is no sign outside; ring the bell, and the wide green door will swing open, often revealing one of the founders, who will welcome you through the small entry garden into rooms filled with rugs, objects, jewelry and shawls.

La Casa de la Llama

This Peruvian chain specializes in knits made from llama wool, which the house argues is finer than the better-known alpaca. The designs are attractive if slightly more classic than those at Kuna or Giuliana Testino. The stores also carry stylish fur and suede vests and many handbags in both leather and woven cloth. There is an even larger branch in Cusco.
