Slivia is a very sympathetic person that will welcome very kindly all their costumers. Products look nice and seems to be very good quality. Price is very good also. Nevertheless the products seems to be finalized in a rush, for the size tags may be glued over the original ones if they are cut off (the four I bought were... More

I knew that I wanted to purchase a leather coat or jacket while in Argentina. Our hotel sent us to more upscale and expensive shops. We also shopped on Florida Street and thanks to other Trip Advisor reviews we also went here. I like this shop because it was much more reasonable than many of the other hight end stores.... More

Ariela, was very, very helpful. And the jacket is so soft and top quality. They walked me through all the different options and I came out with a brilliant leather jacket.

After reading the past reviews, I went to Silvia y Mario and had a leather coat custom made for me. It took 4 fittings to get it right and at one point the sales person tried to tell me it looked good. It looked like the coat had swallowed me alive it was so big. Eventually it was completed and...

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear yoru experience wasnt satisfactory and it help us improve.

Please write us an email to provide you instructions on how to... More

At the last minute I scheduled a trip to BA not having a clue about the city. Fortunately I came across a review for tour guide Pedro Werberg the night before my departure. He kindly met me at the hotel and spent a fact filled day touring me about. Not only is he exceptional at his work I would count... More

The people in the store were unbelievable friendly and helpful. I purchased a jacket and cape of leather. They were both made to order and ready the next day. The leather quality is exceptional and I liked it so much I sent my friend there the next day. Silvia came down to meet us and was warm and helpful. She... More

My husband and i just returned from BA, where we were visiting our son who is doing a study abroad program. We found the Argentinian people delightful and happy, all except the sales people at Sylvia y Mario leather store we wanted to visit. While their leather goods seemed quite lovely and reasonably priced, the help literally drove us out... More

Thank you for reviewing our store, I would like to put in our defense that we dont "Lock" the customers! We work with our door locked to protect them and ourselves from thieves and robberies which are , unfortunatelly, very common in every big city. Specially with cameras and bags. Our salespersonnel is very present and attentive,and some customers like... More

I read positive reviews of this establishment in advance, so I was eager to shop here on my visit to BA. I was in need of a new leather wallet, and only that -- so was determined to go in with focus on shopping for and purchasing just that. I did find a wallet that satisfied my need. However, with...

My husband and I just got back from Argentina yesterday. From my research prior to the trip I knew we had to go to Silvia y Mario. We took a cab there directly from the hotel. My husband wanted to shop around before we committed but I persuaded him to look at what was supposed to be the "best" first.... More
