Cusco artisan and design shop in San Blas selling handcrafted leather bags, ponchos, ceramics and jewelry from local Andean makers, with a second location on Avenida El Sol.
Best for Second location carrying different jewelry designers
A La Lau is a Cusco boutique owned by a Cusco native, with locations at Cuesta de San Blas 522 in the San Blas neighborhood and at Av. El Sol 395. The shop's name means 'so cold!' in Quechua. It sells handcrafted goods made by local artisans: leather and woven purses, ponchos and serapes, hand-painted figurines, carved marble home accessories, ceramics, hats, notebooks and jewelry, positioned around fairtrade, heritage and design. It appears in multiple Cusco shopping guides as a stop for locally made, non-mass-produced goods rather than tourist-market souvenirs. No dedicated company website was found beyond the shop's Facebook page and secondary travel-guide listings.
A French-designer-founded cafe-boutique in Cusco's San Blas, pairing handmade ceramics and textiles downstairs with coffee and cakes on a balcony above. A second store on Calle Carmen Alto extends the retail side.
Best for Handcrafted ceramics, textiles, vintage clothing and coffee
L'Atelier occupies a narrow building on Atoqsaykuchi in Cusco's San Blas, the hillside artisan quarter above the Plaza de Armas, and splits its identity by floor. Downstairs is a boutique stocked with handmade jewelry, vintage clothing, ceramics and artisan textiles -- sourced, in keeping with the neighborhood's craft economy, rather than mass-produced for tourists. Upstairs is a small café with a balcony over the street, run to a walk-in, no-reservations rhythm the owners describe as moving 'to the rhythm of our city.' The shop was founded by a French designer who settled in Cusco and built the concept around pairing retail and café in the same space, a format still uncommon among San Blas's mostly single-purpose storefronts. Coffee and homemade cakes are the café's steady draw, alongside fresh juices, and the small footprint means early arrival matters for a window table. A second, related L'Atelier concept store on Calle Carmen Alto extends the retail side with more vintage clothing and jewelry, giving the brand two distinct footholds in San Blas rather than one flagship. Between the two, L'Atelier reads less like a single café and more like a small artisan network -- objects and coffee both filtered through the same French-Peruvian design sensibility, a few blocks apart in one of Cusco's most walkable neighborhoods.

Vines have grown in the fossil-rich Ocucaje valley south of Ica since colonial times, and the estate took its modern form after Italian immigrant Virgilio Rubini became a partner in 1928 and expanded pisco and wine production. Now overseen by the Eljuri family, the bodega distills labels such as Pisco 100 Años and Gran Pisco Selección de la Familia and sells them, along with hand-thrown huaco-style ceramics, through its own site.
Best for Family-run pisco and wine from a historic desert valley estate
