If you are looking for fun, unusual and beautiful high quality folk art and ethnic hand crafts from around the world, Back from Tomboctou is the place to go! We are importers of folk arts and handicrafts from Latin America and other parts of the world. We have been in business since 1983. We deal directly with local artisans in cottage industries and self-sufficient cooperatives. At our store you will find an incredible collection of artifacts that rage from the sublime to the ridiculous. A world of bright color, fantasy, meaning and traditions which you are not likely to find at the mall. Resist the call of the mall!
I love this store! If you are looking for gifts or something for yourself that you won't find in any ordinary mall, this is the place to go. They have a great selection of art pieces, folk art, rare and extraordinary jewelery, and the best part is that they support artisans that still make hand made items so you feel good about buying there because your supporting artisan traditions from all over the world. The owners are often there and are great to chat with and very knowledgeable.
If you are looking for that special gift, Tomboctou is where you will find it. They have gifts that are meaningful. They are culturally and traditionally relevant.
Amazing items including terrific Day of the Dead stuff. Since they sell to stores, their prices can't be beat. Truly one-of-a-kind items and the couple who own the store are part of the charm. It's my favorite store.
I live in the great northwest mountains, but my heart lies south in Mexico! When ever I visit San Diego, I visit Tomboctou. The shop keeper is helpful. Good parking. They always have something new. It's a little trip into the interior of Mexican art, the color, the detail. Every piece is an original work of art.
I've been shopping there for 15years and the owners are always sincerely friendly and generously accommodating, as well as knowledgeable about their rare authentic pieces. The merchandise is great, and the owners are wonderful! Thank you.
This place is wonderful! The owners are so friendly and willing to tell you anything you want to know about the art in their store. Our 1st grade class went on a field trip here--they graciously accommodated 20 1st graders!
Imagine hearing the perfect music on your special day, your vision brought to life…
