You’ll be thrilled not to find more of the same at 7 Detalles, a unique Mexican store that specializes in pewter, talavera, handblown glass, and other high quality Mexican art and handicraft. Named in honor of owner Alicia’s seven children, this beautiful shop is more like an art gallery than just a retail store.

Committed to spreading her love of Mexican handicraft to others, Alicia deals directly with artisans in Puebla, Tlaxcala, Tonalá, and Guerrero, so she is able to offer some of the best prices in Playa for top-quality wares. She also has a factory in Cancun which manufactures pewter pieces, and can do custom-made pieces which take around 3 weeks to deliver.

7 detalles is one of the only shops in Playa del Carmen that sells real talavera pottery instead of the mass-produced “souvenir” talavera found in most other souvenir shops. Since the shop is full of beautiful things of different sizes, both for decoration and for every day use, this is a great one-stop shop for all your souvenir and gift needs.

A great one-stop shop for high-quality gifts and souvenirs. Best selection of talavera ceramics in town.
