Del Sol International

Del Sol, Tucson, located at 435 N. 4th Ave. is one of the many locations of this Mexican and Native American- inspired rug, clothing, jewelry, and home decor store.

Although there is only one Mexican- inspired location in the city of Tucson, AZ, other stores exist in New Mexico and Texas as well. Tucson is also one of the many locations of Del Sol’s sister store, the Native American- inspired, La Zia Native Arts Store, located in Tucson Old Town Artisans.

Del Sol has been in business since 1977, according to the store’s brochure. Del Sol’s buyers work with small, family- run businesses in order to offer authentic merchandise to their customers. The store has a small, warm feel, matching Tucson’s 4th Avenue environment. It’s small storefront manages to attract around 100 customers a day, while maintaining its unique heart.

Some of the store’s most popular Mexican merchandise includes its metal art. The metal art is designed for home decoration, but also lends itself to fine jewelry. The handwoven wool rugs, sterling silver jewelry, handcrafted home furnishings, and border- inspired clothing are other popular customer attractions.

Del Sol also sells Oaxacan Wood Carvings straight from Oaxaca, Mexico and hand-made clay dishes and stoneware pottery made by artist Ken Edwards from Tonula, Mexico.
