Iguatemi Shopping — Attraction in Região Imediata de São Paulo

March this year o have posted this: “Shops options are good but i think mainly for women. Hard time finding pink clothes for men” , But actually i realize now thats not the malls responsability its on who run the world Of fashion in Brazil.

So let’s go to a more fair review of the shopping mall, today november the 1sr, 2023.

First, its CHRISTMAS TIME!!! OMGGG !!! I just realized when i left the uber in front of Iguatemi, and faced myself with this huge Santa. MY GOODNESS IM STILL STUCK IN MARCH.!!

Well, I remember when I was a little kid living in my hometown, Goiania, this country state capital city, and would never imagine me living in SP, this neighbour of us, was telling us about SP and mentioned THE SHOPPING IGUATEMI As the biggest of Latin America Something like that, how incredible it was , etc . I never forgot the name!

Decades after, here I am! I don’t think it’s the biggest in Latin America ( just a guess), but certainly a mark for the country and I believe the continent.

It’s been more than a decade i live in São Paulo, and i think it’s been 2 years I became a frequent shopper at Iguatemi. If I first have rated it 4 stars I now would say 4,5 for what it’s meant to be, and of course considering Brazil.

Definitely it’s not a popular shopping mall, it’s a fancy one. It’s where some really fancy brands have their shops not just in Brazil but some , the only in South America.

For that purpose it has a considerable variety of options , but still far from Lafayettes in Paris or something like that. Still I consider it 4,5 stars Caz besides the big fancy brands, there are a considerable number of options of more accessible ones, both national and multinational, like Zara and Foxton, something that the others 2 luxury shopping centres in SP , are behind.

Regarding leasure and other activities, the movie theatre is good, there some good, more expensive restaurants, an expensive but excellent gym. still, I think that the foodcourt with the fast food more accessible stores are really behind the size of the place.

Still, it’s really beautiful, not only during Christmas, and I think it’s a good, maybe the best option if u are looking for something not cheap but also not focused just on the haute...

This mall is beautiful if unintuitively designed inside. I came here for Birkenstocks as, despite being a German company, I associate them exclusively with the best state in the world, The Last Best Place. In any event, I came here so I could procure and maintain the other 50% of the official uniform of Missoula (REI socks and Birks).

I walked in wearing what I always do: a thrifted shirt repping a tattoo shop I’ve never been to, a pair of bike shorts, and the aforementioned REI socks (merino wool).

I was immediately out-of-place. The floor-to-ceiling white tiles with old-money gold accents were a far cry from Hide & Sole’s papyrus font and the general feeling of being in a 1980s Dinosaur Museum. Hide & Sole’s walls aren’t carpeted, but the vibes of such are strong enough to alter my memory. Would I get kicked out of Iguatemi in this outfit? I wondered. A security guard sensed my wondery, and asked what I was looking for.

With her directions, I navigated my way past Prada, Gucci, YSL, and down a set of stairs whose x-to-y ratio is atrocious but optically glamorous (too much x, too little y, a slope of 1/4 if I had to guess). I found the Birkenstock store. 10 minutes later, a pair of Arizonas were mine once more.

The São Paulo uniform has yet to make its way to my repertoire, save for the required work lanyard, but Missoula’s uniform has finally debuted in São Paulo.
