My favorite way to explore a new city is by vintage shopping, of course! Mexico City is known for its busy streets, vast neighborhoods, high altitude, colorful culture, taquerias and amazing vintage shops. I spent one day walking around and exploring the shops in the neighborhood of Roma. I visited a handful of awesome shops, all with something different to offer. My list is non exhaustive but all are within a quick walk to each other which makes for the perfect afternoon activity.

Back to Life Clothing
Address: Colima 23a, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
Back to life clothing this shop was really big, nicely organized and had an awesome selection of mens and women’s clothing and accessories.
Roma Vintage
Address: Guanajuato 31, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 Ciudad
Roma vintage had a mix of vintage and designer pieces. The curation was definitely more male/ unisex leaning with some women’s. They had cool bags, leather and other jackets, graphic tees and some statement accessories.
The Vintage House
Address: Av. Cuauhtémoc 204-Local A, Doctores, Cuauhtémoc, 06720 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
The vintage house is the most affordable of all the shops. They even had a rack of items for 50 pesos which is about $3USD. It’s mostly women’s clothing with some mens. The racks are more crowded here so you have to do more digging but they had a lot of cute things.
Cara Ananda
Address: C. Querétaro 157, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
Casa Amanda was a really cool concept store. It was 3 floors and each room was merchandised with different themes. one was an art gallery with works for sale by Mexican artists with was cool to check out. Everything was really expensive here.
Tus Besos Frios
Address: C. Querétaro 185, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico
Tus Besos Frios reminds me of an antique flea market, everything is segmented in different rooms. There was furniture and homewares, mens, women’s and even a record room.
