Kokopelli Gallery — Local services in Santa Fe

I like the stores that are not right in the center, that are a little smaller and perhaps a little hidden. I like the stores that don't just stand on their own, but where you get the impression that all the store owners are working together to create an overall impression. I like the stores where I am welcomed as a customer.

Definitely worth our time to step into the shop whilst waiting for seating at The Shed restaurant. By the time we left Khalil’s shop, we felt like family and wish Khalil’s children continued success in...

After arriving and meeting Caesar, we knew we were in the right place. He was very helpful and knowledgeable about the artisans in his area. I purchased some metal art for my walls at home and we are very happy with our purchases! I also bought the cutest turquoise earrings!!! I really enjoyed hearing about Caesar's grandfather who started the store and about how Caesar used to run around there when he was a child. Loved that!! He made us feel right at home as soon as we entered the store. It was a very...
