Top 5 Shopping Spots in Design District

1) Miami Design District

140 NE 39th St., Miami, FL 33137

You say you want in on the latest, most luxurious fashion?

How about I give you 18 blocks worth of it?

Fashionistas, I give you the Miami Design District, a creative neighborhood with unmatched access to world-class anything and EVERYTHING — art, shopping, and dining!

Rooted in style, detail, and RETAIL, this 18-block creative community boasts over 170 high-end boutiques, design showrooms, art galleries, restaurants, and bars — with new neighbors seemingly popping up every week!

Peruse through world-renowned brands like Dolce and Gabbana, Gucci, Celine, Dior, Prada, Burberry, Cartier, Fendi, Givenchy, Rolex, Saint Laurent, Tory Burch, Lanvin, Tod's, Tom Ford, Lanvin, COS, Christian Louboutin, Hermès, and Louis Vuitton!

After you get tired of swiping that card, you can indulge in even more entertainment options, from dining to artsy and ICONIC eye candies and heart-pumping events! 

Think boutique after boutique, a hot meal after another, and one jaw-dropping art display to the next, all within an 18-block, 2,699,095 square feet of space —this lifestyle MECCA has taken over Miami's shopping scene and shows NO signs of STOPPING!

2) Upper Buena Vista 

184 NE 50th Terrace, Miami, FL 33137

While you may think that nothing else will come close to that intoxicating Design District shopping splurge, visiting Buena Vista's charming tropical shopping enclave will have you thinking otherwise — especially if you're a fan of the unique, charming, and MAGICAL!

Say hello to Upper Buena Vista, a top tourist spot and the ULTIMATE destination for shopping, dining, and entertainment in Buena Vista, a 2-minute drive (or a 15-minute walk) from the Design District! 

Often compared to a reimagined town square of a Caribbean resort village, Upper Buena Vista is a calming shopping sanctuary far from your run-of-the-mill shopping center.

One of its distinct features is its small-sized shops, appropriately called "micro boutiques" and "petite boutiques," ranging from 250- 500 square feet, which look like "tiny houses" of fashion, loaded with eclectic local and global finds — most of which you won't find anywhere else. 

Kathe Cuervo, The House of Findings, Clara Ochoa, and more — these up-and-coming brands are bound to change your lives and wardrobes!

The Caribbean-inspired shopping enclave is also home to a plethora of food concepts, each promising a satisfying dining experience like no other!

Shopping, long strolls, and a romantic Caribbean vibe — need I say more?

3) The Shops at Midtown 

3401 N Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33127

Can't get enough of Miami's over-the-top, urban shopping goodness?

Take a quick, 9-minute walk (or 2-minute drive) from the Design District to Midtown and find another mind-blowing shopping spree heading your way at one of Miami's retail GIANTS, The Shops at Midtown!

Offering 645,000 square feet of retail space, filled to the brim with big-box stores, trendy retail shops, and restaurants, the open-air shopping enclave of The Shops at Midtown is the EPITOME of Miami's urban shopping, offering all your daily essentials under one MASSIVE roof! 

Target, Guess, HomeGoods, Marshalls, Carter's, Dick's Sporting Goods, Ross Dress for Less, West Elm, and more — there will be no fashion-forward outfit left unturned in this stylish shopping paradise!

The Shops at Midtown also offers 18 sit-down restaurants and quick serves, two (2) electronic and entertainment shops, and 12 service stores, so for running errands after your exhausting shopping spree, you won't have to go elsewhere!

Needless to say, shopaholics will find this retail paradise worth the drive — or the quick stroll, if you're looking to burn off calories!

4) Wynwood Business District

58 NW 27th St, Miami, FL 33127

For a 180-degree version of Miami Design District, look to one of Miami's happening districts, the artsy community of Wynwood, just a 4-minute drive!

Boasting non-stop energy and in-the-moment style, Wynwood, another creative and cultural hub, is the polar opposite of the Design District, but in the best way possible!

At Wynwood, luxury shops and high-end brands are replaced by chic boutiques and antique stores, alongside converted warehouses of funky art galleries, stylish bistros, late-night bars, and craft breweries — the hippest destination you'll need after a money-draining shopping bonanza at the Design District! 

BASE, Boho Hunter, UNKNWN, Nomad Tribe, Ofy, Pitusa, and more — find all your favorite (and soon-to-be) fashion-forward boutiques at your disposal!

Much like the Design District, Wynwood is known as a hub of contemporary and street art, offering vibrant murals, striking outdoor galleries, and open-air street art installations, so if you need a little side entertainment after your retail therapy, this up-and-coming community is the place to be!

5) Shoppes of Liberty City 

1100 NW 54th St, Miami, FL 33127

Find a laid-back shopping scene amidst the Design District's sea of luxe finds and vibrant energy at the Shoppes of Liberty City, only a 7-minute drive!

A down-to-earth lifestyle destination home to several apparel stores, discount shops, a grocery store, a pharmacy, and more, the Shoppes of Liberty City is a breath of fresh air, especially if you prefer shopping from familiar, everyday brands and locally-owned shops.

We're talking 78,686 sq. ft. of retail stores, health and wellness establishments, and restaurants, spearheaded by key retailers like Payless, Winn Dixie, Wendy's, Simon Sports, DTLR, Beauty Exchange, Laundromat, Liberty 99c, and Metro PCS!

Indeed, the Shoppes of Liberty City is the perfect one-stop-shop destination for running errands with shopping on the side, moments from the Design District!
