In Centro there are streets where you will find a specific product, for example, there is the street of dresses or stuffed animals. However, there is no such thing as a backpack street. But you don’t have to worry because there are places where you will find a great variety.
- Pasaje Sandino (📍Calle del Carmen 37, Centro Histórico de la CDMX): in this space you will find all kinds of school backpacks. But not only that, they also sell lunch boxes, pencil cases, pencil cases and even suitcases for travel. Prices vary widely, so we recommend you look at everything before making a decision. In the vicinity of this passage they also sell a large assortment of backpacks. If you’re looking for variety, this is the place to be.
- Calle de Mesones: this street is known for selling an infinite number of school supplies (and we say that without exaggeration). Here you will find everything from pens to calculators, notebooks and other stationery items. Both in this street and in Plaza Mesones there are places where they sell backpacks (they are few but you will surely find something to your liking).
- Correo Mayor: this street is like the wild card of the Historic Center because they sell everything.
