Best Boutiques in Santiago

Chilean society is quite conservative by many standards with the younger generations finally starting to cut loose. Get more playful. Be expressive. US expat Jayne Morgan saw the opportunity to fill the niche for erotic toys in the capital, starting as private bachelorette parties. The idea was a runaway success and she’s expanded to now have two stories in Providencia and Barrio Lastarria to satisfy the demand. Sex toys, games, outfits, and erotic books, all imported of high quality and good taste, are all laid in her attractive stories with attentive staff.

Chilean designer Carlos Perez got his start making shirts nearly three decades ago and still has a cult following at this Atelier on the shady street in Barrio Lastarria. Beautifully sewn men’s shirts and a limited amount of women’s apparel attractively grace this petit showroom. Lines are clean and classic with an air of elegance. He also has scarves, hats, belts, and a few other accessories that change seasonally. Rosal 388, Barrio Lastarria Phone: 56 (2) 2664 1463
