Description
Curio Shops are filled with a fascinating mix of old and new inventory. Walking through any of these shops tells a history of the tastes held by visitors for at least fifty years.
Leather goods, malachite chess games and silver jewelry are mainstays in popularity and price. String controlled puppets were very popular in the 1960's and can still be purchased today. One of the newer items I noticed--and was not allowed to take a photo of--was a framed copy of one of Freida's self-portraits sitting near old photos of a few Mexican heros, all for sale and all prices subject to agreement through the bargaining process.
What to buy: What to buy depends on what you want. Besides those items mentioned above, there are blankets of various colors and qualities, lace/linen table cloths, beaded head caps with a 1920's Flapper fringe around the back, piggy banks in the shape of a skull, Tweetie Bird and other recognizable characters, Mexican style dresses, and so much more.
Most stores carry the same basic inventory and part of the fun of buying in Curio shops in Tijuana is the "comparative-price shopping."
What to pay: Spend only what you think the item is worth.
