Nativo's, Antigua, Guatemala

In our final entry from Guatemala before we fly back to good old Grey and chilly Blighty, we thought we would share this gorgeous store with you which was part of our research.  Obviously we have tonnes of images but only time to share a few.  Nativo's is quite a small store, but the merchandise is quite delicious.  Just look at this stuff.  All handmade and just waiting for your Dollars.  Its a long old flight home so we may be able to whip up a few of these for ourselves on the way back.

Pedro G Cotino, Antigua, Guatemala

The light in this amazing country is quite incredible.  The heat is too.  Here at probably one of the best stores on 5th Avenue (we really do wish they had called it something else) is Pedro G Cotino (or at least that's what we think its called as no illuminated signage or Gold lettering adorns these stores of course).  Someone here understands retail, merchandising and presentation.  We do wish we could have made a purchase here but sadly, realistically what would we do with a hand carved canoe filled with rugs back in London?  Anyway, if you happen to be in this part of the world do go and drool over the merchandise here which is housed in the most gorgeous space and presented so beautifully and so seductively.
