"Women's Handicraft Co-op This handicraft shop in the center of Oaxaca is run by a group of women artisans. It's one of the best places in town to purchase well-priced handicrafts, and it's satisfying to know that the profits go to the women who produce the pieces. Walk through the various rooms—don't forget to look on the second floor—and make your selections, then make your way to the front of the shop to pay. The little tin magnets near the entrance always catch my eye. There's a huge variety of designs, and they're so inexpensive. What better way to keep the memories of your trip alive than with a fridge magnet? But there's so much more to choose from—lovely embroidered blouses, rebozos, leather huaraches, woven handbags, pottery, rugs, tin work, and jewelry... they've got it all."

Awesome place to support handcrafted made by women. Lots of beautiful local things, full history. Could be a little more expensive then at the market, but you know the money are really staying at the community. Go and surprise yourself with all this beauty!

I bought a dress and I a lot more than what I would from the street vendors near Santa Domingo, but it was well worth it. I didn’t think much, but received many compliments on the color and the quality. Know that each piece is unique so if you like it, buy it because they won’t have another.

Wonderful art of all kinds, at terrific prices. I want to buy everything. Takes credit cards. It is hard to go in without buying something. Clothes, pottery, sandals, belts, figurines (carved, clay, tin). A great place.

Fair prices and exceptional variety. I loved not having to haggle prices as products are priced appropriately and labeled. A must in Oaxaca City while also supporting local women.
