Retail Therapy in Miami’s Creative Capital

WYNWOOD HAS THE GIFTS THAT KEEP ON GIVING

When it comes to cool and curated, Wynwood’s got it – you can shop till you drop, tag your day with some art, eat some delicious food and party or chill the night away. Shopping malls? Chain stores? Not in the #CreativeCapital305! The holiday shopping and gift-giving season is in full swing, and Wynwood is Miami’s destination for the original, unusual, unique and creative items on sale at its eclectic retail stores.

Are you looking for that special fashion statement for a fashionista friend or family member? Wynwood is one of Miami’s go-to destinations, with an array of chic, locally-owned clothing stores that cater to on-trend (and beyond) tastes. The latest designs can be found at many locations, such as Wanitta, Pitusa, Base Superstore, Simona and Congo Clothing Company. A well-selected gift can really add to someone’s wardrobe and elevate anyone’s look and is perfect for a night out at Wynwood’s renowned restaurants, bars and clubs.

Accessories make the woman – or the man – and Wynwood’s curated collections of stylish jewelry, glasses and more are just what is needed for that special gift (or your personal upgrade). Outfits get more compliments when paired with pieces from Mejuri, Kopajos, Penny Rose Optical and Little Words Project. Discover a treasure trove of retail locations offering finishing touches that complete that one-of-a-kind look.

Shopping for someone who prefers to make their home their personal nest and oasis? Wynwood’s got great design and vinyl records to spin. Spruce up their living space with exciting home decor finds from Wynwood’s independent specialty stores, including Sound Lux, Glottman Showroom and Taja Collection. And art itself can be a great home décor choice, with the neighborhood featuring things like contemporary sculptures and great wall art, which will give anyone’s castle a distinct personality.

As the world has become more attuned to the issues of climate change and environmental sustainability, those concerns have been expressed in the mission of many Wynwood businesses. The neighborhood has one of the most walkable streetscapes in South Florida, so it’s a natural home for stores like simply EV and Scooter Steve’s. One of the delights of shopping in Wynwood is the presence of pop-up shops and weekend markets that offer surprise treasures and limited-edition products. And of course, one can ride the City of Miami trolley, get on a Citi Bike, park the car, and keep an eye out for special events that could be the latest must-dos.

“We’re feeling the holiday buzz just about now, and nothing says ‘great shopping’ like Wynwood,” said Florentino Diaz, Interim Executive Director of the Wynwood Business Improvement District, which is dedicated to elevating the neighborhood and its retail. Our community is all about creativity – it’s the foundation that connects our special stores, our award-winning restaurants, our galleries, and of course, our great places to shop, offering standout gifts that are as unique as Wynwood itself.”
