My son and I spent a fun afternoon making jewelry at one of Urban Eclectic Jewelry’s classes. We were able to select the piece we wanted to make and Tricia was great instructing us through the whole process. She is so patient and helps draw out your creativity. The store’s location is perfect in downtown Tamarindo.

EST.1998 High end clothing store with a unique customer service. We custom fit all garments to your own unique style and measurements. Think of us as your old school tailer in a modern setting. This service is only available in our flagship location in Tamarindo and of course it is invaluable when it comes to the most difficult piece in your closet; swimwear. Nothing like a custom fit bikini or one-piece. Our staff has years of training in finding you the most flattering cuts according to your body type. In addition we also offer a line of leather sandals and wedges designed by the owner Kata Kis.

I was in the market for a one-piece bathing suit and shopping around in Tamarindo. I stumbled across this shop and was in love with several of the fabrics, but the specific cut that I wanted didn't come in fabric I liked. So the owner of the store pulled some options. i wanted something dark -- even asked her for black at first. She pulled me out of that (she loves color, which shows in her designs!) and we landed on a dark velvet pattern with bronze accents. It's truly gorgeous. She worked with me on the price point a bit and what really blew me away is they promised to have the hand-made custom piece in less than 24 hours. When I got back to the store the next day, the suit fit perfectly. It was exquisite and I'm so glad to have it. I will order from them again online in the future, or next time I'm in Tamarindo! Highly recommend. Great handmade product and amazing customer service.

My sister and I visited in December 2019 and loved Lydia's boutique. We ordered custom paintings of our pets and a beach landscape with a profie of my children. The service and art were wonderful. I will cherish our purchases as a reminder of our time in Tamarindo. I would highly recommend the shop to visitors.

I had a custom board shaped by Cheboards in July of 2020. Super fast email responses and one of the most pleasant in-person factory tours ever. JD is an artist and his passion for surfing and shaping is apparent from the minute you meet him. When the first board wasn't exactly what I'd hoped Cheboards took it back without complaint and began working with me to refine my ideas and build another! Super satisfied customer that will be back for more in the future.

I found this wonderful shop during our recent stay in Tamarindo. The jewelry is absolutely stunning! They set aside a ring for me so that I could return the next day. When I purchased the first ring, I spotted a 2nd that I just couldn't get out of my head! I returned again another day and was SO happy to find it was still there. LOVE both pieces and will definitely be contacting them again to purchase more. Best shop in Tamarindo BY FAR!!!

My family has already travelled a few times to Costa Rica so it is hard to find things to bring back home. But here I found a shop that has things the typical souvenir shops that you can find all over the place don't have. They also offer to sew names or other letters to towels they sell. I bought a kitchen towel for my mom which had Costa Rica sewed on it. They also sell handmade bags or jewelry as well as some typical touristy items. It is definitely worth a look and the ladies that worked there the day I went were really nice and helpful!
