|  La
Hierbabuena is a small shop on 5th Avenue with
some of the nicest Mexican handicrafts
in town. The American owner Melinda has lived in Playa
for more than 20 years and really knows her stuff!
Hierbabuena, Spanish for the herb mint, is
mainly focused on textiles. You'll
find bags, pillow cases, purses, scarves and much more.
La Hierbabuena also carries locally designed clothes
that are lightweight and pretty, perfect for the local
climate. They also have alot of beautiful kid's
clothes, like embroidered dresses and cool
little pants.
The Mayan handicrafts are predominantly
from the state of Chiapas, an area steeped in tradition
from which many traditional textile products originate.
Melinda works directly with the Indian
women in the villages around San Cristobal, and everything
in the shop is hand made and of high
quality. You'll appreciate the quality and
selection that over 20 years of experience brings to
La Hierbabuena.
