luv2getaway Posted November 12, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I have read about a shuttle that picks up at the pier that will take you to their leather shop. Does anyone know if that is still available? Is the leather shop in the main downtown area of Montevideo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburg Avon Lady Posted November 12, 2008 #2 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Probably still available - I understand from another poster that they had visited the shop and were not impressed. But I am sure others who have been there will have more info for you. Probably be a good idea to go to the shopping lecture on board to get some recommendations about quality and prices. (Of course, I think the cruise lines get some type of "kick-back" from the stores they recommend) but I would think the stores and merchandise would be of good quality or the cruise lines would certainly hear about it from a lot of unhappy passengers !! :(:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dileep Posted November 12, 2008 #3 Share Posted November 12, 2008 We enjoyed our 3+ hour private city tour and ended with a stop at the small Leather Outlet Club, where my wife found a great shearling lambskin coat. Qualand prices were good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Peregrina651 Posted November 12, 2008 #4 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Dileep, do you happen to remember the address for Leather Club Outlet? I want to go there. I've been trying to find names of leather stores in Montevideo but there aren't very many with websites or with listings in the Yellow pages. I too have heard horror stories about the shuttle and don't want to use it (even though people have suggested using it simply as transportation to get into the city). I hate hard sell and pressure.

eh2zed Posted November 12, 2008 #6 Share Posted November 12, 2008 THere are a few shuttles at the pier vying for your ride to their store. Once you arrive you can just leave and take in the downtown. Most are in the downtown area. Ours was a 5 minute walk to the downtown. When we wanted to return to the ship we went back to the store and got in the shuttle. No questions asked.

I've been trying to find names of leather stores in Montevideo but there aren't very many with websites or with listings in the Yellow pages. A bit more searching and I found it: LEATHER OUTLET CLUB, DIECIOCHO (18th) DE JULIO.AV. #907 but a cross street would be helpful since it is impossible to locate things using Google maps or the Microsoft equivalent. I just saw the picture you posted and have downloaded it. I hope the local signs haven't changed! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
