José Paulino in Bom Retiro: how to make the most of it!
Share
José Paulino Street, in the Bom Retiro neighborhood of São Paulo, is one of the best places in the country for those looking to buy cheap clothes.
Resellers are having a field day, because almost all of the stores - around 400! - sell wholesale and offer very good discounts on purchases of many items.
But on Saturdays, the busiest day, most stores that only sell in large quantities end up selling at retail.
Either way, there are many ways to enjoy this street that offers so many options!
Wholesale
Bulk sales are the main focus of most retailers in the region. In general, you can buy six or more items of clothing at José Paulino.
The vast majority of stores offer casual women's clothing. And many work with pieces in very specific styles, such as plus size models (up to size 54), fitness pieces and party clothes, for example.
But there are plenty of options for children's and men's clothing stores too.
Stores are typically open from 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday and from 8am to 2pm on Saturdays.
And even if you want to buy clothes for personal use, many stores sell six or more pieces.
For the prices you will find, it ends up being worth it to take a larger quantity.
Retail
But if you really want to buy a few items, you should know that it is possible to find stores that sell on-site and without the need to present a CNPJ.
They are open every day, but on Saturdays even stores that only sell wholesale end up selling retail as well.
One tip is to have cash with you (be very careful not to leave it easily accessible, to avoid theft or robbery) or make a Pix to get an extra discount on your purchase.
Tips from José Paulino Street
And to make the most of it, here are some tips:
- Wear light, tight-fitting clothing that allows you to try things on, as almost no stores have changing rooms.
- Some stores do not allow you to try on clothes at all, so bring clothes in the size you want to buy.
- Go with a friend! It's easier to get better prices by buying in bulk and you can do it with more people buying too.
- Pay attention to your belongings: always keep your bag in front of you, keep your cell phone safe and avoid jewelry and watches.
- Don't take children, the street is more than 1km long and they get tired quickly
