melgray13 Posted March 3, 2007 #6 Share Posted March 3, 2007 We haven't been shopping in Cozumel but have been to the main land area (Playa Del Carmen) many times. As I recall, I don't think this will be the best port for designer type items (real or otherwise). You might see some but nothing like what we saw at St Thomas for example. I would think you would have an easy time with any type of silver jewerly (look around and barter, a lot of stores have the same style of jewerly at various prices). Also not to be missed, make sure you buy some vanilla (much better/stronger than what can be purchased in the states). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseCrAzieS Posted March 5, 2007 #7 Share Posted March 5, 2007 We got sunglasses for anywhere from $6-$10 a pair for "knock offs" :cool: and sorry but I have no idea on the purses. We enjoyed shopping in Cozumel and found things to be a lot cheeper than some of the other ports. :) Happy Shopping!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantwait2cruize Posted March 5, 2007 #8 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I have a daughter just like yours. Cozumel sells a few knocks offs, but the prices are high. Which other ports are you visiting, I can tell you where you can buy them. I am a professional knock off shopper:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonah Posted March 14, 2007 #9 Share Posted March 14, 2007 i am going to these ports San Juan, Puerto Rico; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas; Nassau, Bahamas and would love to know where to find some :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littledog Posted March 15, 2007 #10 Share Posted March 15, 2007 My daughter and I bought a "fake" Chanel wallet, Chanel handbag, and Chanel sunglasses for 90.00. Not bad for all three. There are a few stores where you can do this. Most places dont have the designer stuff. But, we just got back on March 10, and we searched some places out. Good luck.

bosteph Posted March 15, 2007 #11 Share Posted March 15, 2007 In Cozumel you can find reasonably priced silver "Tiffany" necklaces and bracelets. The stores where I found these are within walking distance of Carlos 'n Charlies. For the poster looking for inexpensive knock-offs in the Eastern Caribbean ports - Nassau's Straw Market. The stalls are very close to each other so it is not for the claustrophobic. Bargaining is expected and don't be afraid to walk away. There are a lot of vendors with the same products.
