Looking for a haberdashery in Rio de Janeiro (Zona Sul)

Hey there, i need some ribbon and various coloured thread... Any one knows where I could find a haberdasher (armarinho) somewhere in the areas of Botafogo/Flamengo/Copa/Ipanema/Urca?

Thanks!

Hi Saudades,

Just so as not to confuse the beejeebers out of our American and Canadian members, don't forget that to anyone from North America a haberdashery is a shop that sells mens' clothing (a tailor).

I know that's what you call a fabric and notions shop in the UK.

While I haven't personally checked out all the shops there you might find something in Shopping Praia Botafogo. Have you maybe thought about Shopping São Gonçalo

lol @ beejeebers

Thanks for clarifying that.

I will be going to Shopping Praia on the weekend.

Brigada! ;)

Yeah, beejeebers is one of those "old man" words that sneaks out every now and then. I'm a LOT older than I look, going to be 64 next month. BTW my Brazilian wife is just a couple of months older than you are. Yikes! Did I hear you whisper "dirty old man" under your breath?  hehehehehe

Cheers,
James

haha, that s indeed an interesting relationship, but the last thing I'd think is "dirty old man", as u put it! You come across as anything but that!

Boa noite!
