Shop The Edit San José, Costa Rica: Costa Rican Design

Some links may earn Jet Set LatAm a commission at no additional cost to you. Recommendations remain editorially independent.

San José’s edit begins with something small enough to use every day: a textile accessory, a piece of jewelry or an object for the home. Let a bright detail work against quiet clothes or a simple room. The city deserves a design afternoon of its own, rather than shopping squeezed into an airport transfer.

Look across the categories

Tienda Eñe’s current site brings together clothing, bags, jewelry and home objects. Our independent-design guide helps prepare the local browse. Compare the maker, material and finishing of one piece across those categories; do not let a souvenir label replace a clear explanation of its origin. Confirm storefront or pickup details before a special visit.

A useful companion

The Cuyana Leather Backpack 13-inch in City Essentials is an international everyday bag for hands-free browsing, not Costa Rican artisan design. Compare it with a bag you already own. Leave your distinctive purchase to the local search, and plan protective packing for any fragile home object before paying.
