I always look for neutrals in my leathers but more because I am fairly shy so as much as I would like to think I could pull off a red leather jacket I know I would just adore it hanging in my closet.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-advice-please---leather-in-ba#post-890047 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:52:52 +0000 missvee 890047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes it it a fab city! We were there 2 years ago and I got a great jacket, custom made at Poppy's on Florida Street (second floor). It took about 4 days for them to make it. My husband found his jacket at Antpiel. I can't give you the exact location but it was still in the touristy section around Florida Street. He bought off the rack and they did the alterations while we waited. &nbsp;I wish I had bought a purse and shoes too, but we were there just as the seasons were changing and the stock was a bit picked over.<br />good luck! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-advice-please---leather-in-ba#post-890030 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:18:08 +0000 Laurie 890030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi ladies,<br />We are on a wonderful vacation in Buenos Aires - seriously love this city! It's my first visit since I spent Christmas 1986 here as a student. &nbsp;I have reconnected wtih the family who hosted me back then...very special&nbsp;experience.<br /><br />Yesterday we switched apartments and moved to a different part of town for the 2nd half of our stay, and my husband scoped out "the" street for leather shops. &nbsp;It's not in the tourist area, so I hope that the prices are the best. &nbsp;We took a long walk, and a quick look as we needed to be somewhere last night, and we vowed to go back.<br /><br />I get so intimidated by shopping in a foreign country. &nbsp;My Spanish is minimal, and I always feel like the more I make someone speak my language when I am in their country,&nbsp;the less chance of hearing the details or establishing the best relationship.....or getting the best bargain.&nbsp;<br /><br />The dollar is strong here right now on the "green" market - the official rate is $1= 5 pesos, but we have been trading $1= 8 pesos. &nbsp; The jackets I was glancing at yesterday were between 800-1100 pesos.<br /><br />First of all - does anyone have recent&nbsp;experience&nbsp;shopping in B.A.? &nbsp;Please send advice!<br /><br />Second, what should I look for? &nbsp;I have seen some red leather that is catching my eye. &nbsp;I don't know if I would invest in a red leather jacket at home. &nbsp;Also, i really do need to replace my old, and too-big, Ann Taylor short, plain black leather jacket, so I'll be on the lookout. &nbsp; I have not seen blush....a little winter white.<br /><br />We're looking for jackets for my guys too.<br /><br />Gracias in advance.<br /><br />WHAT A GREAT CITY!&nbsp;
