Las Traperas

What started out as friends exchanging clothes has grown into an environmentally conscious second hand shop that aspires to promote responsible consumption. Las Traperas operates under 3 Rs: reduce, reuse and recycle and at their cute little shop in the bohemian district of Barranco, you'll find a variety of women's clothing and accessories. Bring your own pieces and exchange them for up to half of the price.

Shopping

Shopping may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Lima, but visitors soon discover that the city has no shortage of stores guaranteed to get your money’s worth. From your typical western malls to more traditional markets, the shopping scene in Lima is diverse and fits any kind of budget. Avenida de la Paz in Miraflores is known for its antique shops. Designer boutiques can be found at Calle de Los Conquistadores in San Isidro. Craft shops abound, offering that colorful handmade souvenir you desperately want to take home. Bargain hunters, that's your cue! And no trip to Peru is complete without that soft baby alpaca garment.
