Tienda Palacio
Shopping in Buenos Aires can be tricky. There is no shortage of luxury
houses selling globalized merchandise, and as the writer V.S. Naipaul
once remarked, Argentina can be one big “gaucho curio shop.” Still, for
devotees of contemporary design, Tienda Palacio is a must-see. Billed as
a purveyor of “cool stuff,” this recent addition to the retail arena
speaks in a thick, modernist-inflected accent. The only sign of
nostalgia? Gift-wrapping tape imprinted with Shepard Fairey–like
portraits of Evita Perón. (Defensa 926; 011.54.11.4361.4325;
