Facon

"Argentine Fair Trade at Facon Facon presents exquisitely handcrafted goods from all around Argentina. Look for baskets by the Matriarca women’s collective; Siwan’i natural, handwoven textiles produced by Wichí-nation women; and Warmi scarves and blankets the women of that Andean ethnicity also create. All items are fair-trade products that constitute an important source of income for the indigenous communities. Additionally, the store showcases contemporary design with an ecological spin, alongside leather goods, objets d’art, and a selection of local boutique wines. Facon is also headquarters to Salú, a club that hosts cooking classes, wine- and cheese-tastings, and talks by local chefs on topics like the origins of the Argentine mixed-grill known as asado .

9 Best Shops in Buenos Aires | Condé Nast Traveler

"This is a boutique that could only exist in Argentina. The shop, which resides in a Palermo Soho casona, features everything from pottery to rugs to leather bags, all made by local artists, artisans, and independent industrial designers. It also pulls double-duty as a wine tasting stop: there's a small wine shop in back to assist thirsty shoppers, especially those who are eager to try a curated selection of the vino-rich country’s best labels. Pick up a leather backpack, a hand-woven rug, or a gaucho knife, and feel good about your purchase: owner and art director Martín Bustamante's goal, ultimately, is to empower and promote rural communities in a sustainable (and fashionable) way." - Allie Lazar
