From Wynwood to the Design District, South Beach and beyond, Miami offers visitors a bounty of shopping opportunities<\/a> for every taste and preference.<\/p>\n

Some of the best are found at compact boutiques, whose small size belies their big appeal. Packed with must-have merchandise and spring\u2019s hottest looks, our favorite trendy-but-tiny retailers are proof that small can be beautiful \u2013 and stylish!<\/p>\n

Secreted in plain sight in a pass-through on the west end of Lincoln Road, this miniscule store is filled with a dizzying assortment of things you never knew you wanted but suddenly realize you desperately need. Where else will you find Paul Smith<\/a> socks nestled next to Fornasetti<\/a> candles, and Mason Pearson<\/a>\u2019s legendary hairbrushes sharing counter space with neoprene espadrilles, Malin + Goetz<\/a> bath products, and Marvis<\/a> licorice toothpaste? With an international inventory that\u2019s arguably the most diverse of any SoBe store, we dare you to leave Babal\u00fa empty-handed.<\/p>\n

Trend Alert:<\/strong> Featuring candy colors, oversized lenses and crystal-embellished frames, Babal\u00fa\u2019s statement sunglasses are spring must-haves.<\/p>\n

Steps from the Design District\u2019s posh boutiques, Turkish designer Yeliz Titiz has created a shopping destination for those whose tastes veer away from merely expensive toward delightfully eclectic and genuinely unique. It\u2019s the kind of boutique where you can find gifts at every price point, from dangly earrings embellished with rabbit fur to leather-bound journals and Parisian perfume oils. Titiz\u2019s homeland is well represented with plump Ikat-patterned pillows and table linens, as well as a selection of evil-eye-embellished merchandise that includes modern furniture and accessories. Don\u2019t miss the trove of silver and gold-dipped jewelry, most designed by Titiz herself.<\/p>\n

Trend Alert:<\/strong> Patterned silk kaftans and rompers from Brazilian designer Adriana Barra<\/a> are colorful companions to this season\u2019s white swimwear trend.<\/p>\n

Tucked away in the Wynwood Block arcade, this treasure (which, coincidentally, is what its name means in a language from Gabon, the owners\u2019 homeland) is a go-to for all things African. Amalgamating art, craft, clothing, and accessories from Tanzania, Burkina Faso, Kenya, South Africa, and Zanzibar, this Anthropologie-meets-Africa emporium offers a contemporary take on classic African design\u2014with traditional masks and footstools crafted in vivid fiberglass, and clothing and table linens made of colorful African wax prints. Come for the feathered ceremonial \u201cJuju\u201d hats from Cameroon; stay for the small-batch Ethiopian coffee, served daily.<\/p>\n

Trend Alert:<\/strong> Pop Caven<\/a>\u2019s cheeky graphic T-shirts (we love \u201cAfrica is Not A Country\u201d) pair perfectly with spring\u2019s wide-leg cropped jeans.<\/p>\n

To lure people away from selfie sessions with Wynwood\u2019s famous murals, you better have something equally compelling on display. This four-year-old neighborhood staple does, drawing shoppers from the neighboring Wynwood Walls to its airy space filled with clothes, gifts, and accessories for men, women, and pets by companies based everywhere from Morocco to Mexico. Our picks: Super-cool leather-and-cord leashes from Found My Animal<\/a> and buttery unisex leather pouches from Minor History<\/a>. Frangipani is also one of the few places in the neighborhood that sells cool clothing and toys for kids, so stock up for the littlest ones on your list here.<\/p>\n

Trend Alert:<\/strong> Whether you go hard or hardly at all, do \u201cathleisure\u201d like a boss in athletic and loungewear from Spiritual Gangster<\/a>, whose line is carried here.<\/p>\n

Gisela Balassa and Alejandro Orestano\u2019s petite boutique has been lending international flair to its suburban South Miami neighborhood since 2013, with an inventory culled from independent designers from all over the globe. Drool over salmon skin clutches from Mexican brand Mosicuss<\/a>; Cavilani<\/a> leather sandals from Spain; and an impressive selection of unisex pieces from Miansai<\/a>, the Miami-based jewelry and accessory house famous for its wrist wraps and brass cuffs. Respice (pronounced \u201cree-spice\u201d) is also the only place to pick up the Miami version of Apolis<\/a>\u2019 popular burlap market bag, which makes as bold a statement on the beach as it does in the grocery store.<\/p>\n

Trend Alert:<\/strong> Jump on the enduring photo-realism fashion trend with local designer Nath & La<\/a>\u2019s handy zippered pouches, featuring Miami\u2019s iconic lifeguard huts.<\/p>\n

The Shop at Per\u00e9z Art Museum Miami<\/a><\/h2>\n

The sign on the wall of the store at Miami\u2019s waterfront repository of contemporary art commands you to \u201cSHOP\u201d\u2014and shop you will. That\u2019s because there\u2019s merch for everyone here \u2013 pressed tin Haitian wall hangings for your arty cousin; an exclusive cobalt-blue plaster pig by artist Harry Allen for your eccentric co-worker; coffee table art tomes for your mother \u2013 much of which you\u2019ll be tempted to keep for your self. There\u2019s memorabilia from current exhibitions, of course, but we\u2019re partial to PAMM\u2019s own Miami Kitsch line, which includes T-shirts, scarves, and backpacks with whimsical Miami imagery.<\/p>\n

Trend Alert:<\/strong> Tropicalism\u2019s metal pins, featuring papayas, plantains, and palm trees, are a #SoMiami way to add on-trend embellishment to a classic denim jacket.<\/p>\n
