haberdashery is also high in demand, with a great selection of handcrafted purses, quilts, bags, and clothing adorning the stalls and shops, and offering a unique momentum from a trip to the city - pieces of ceramic work display some of the beauty on offer, whilst handmade jewelry showcases some of the sophisticated methods used to create one-of-a-kind pieces, unlike anything else around.

one of the most famous places to experience a huge variety of the arts and crafts is at the feira hippie de ipanema - attracting visitors from all over the city and beyond, since 1968, the fair has earned a sterling reputation as one of rio de janeiro's great exhibitions of creative arts and crafts. 

it takes up an entire plaza of general osorio in ipanema with tents selling everything from t-shirts and cangas, to northeastern food, and even paintings - it is the largest outdoor market of arts and crafts in the world held every sunday, rain or shine.
