Get a locavore jump on the holiday season! TABLE believes in the shop local movement for four reasons. First, when you buy local, you support our local economy. 

This helps create jobs, boosts local investment in our streetscapes, and builds greater economic resilience.

Second, you will get better, more personal service than Amazon could ever deliver. Our shopkeepers know you. They see you when you’re out to dinner. They wave to you at the grocery. And, they know what’s important to you. All of that comes into play every time you enter their spaces.

Third, you will find a host of special and unique products. Outfox the algorithms that direct your online buying with fresh, original choices! Look for the unique, the unusual, the handmade: all of the things you won’t find in big-box stores.  

Fourth, it’s healthier for the planet, and for you! All those blue delivery vans and their cardboard boxes take an environmental toll. Reduce the carbon emissions and packaging waste…and get your steps in by walking around town. You’ll feel better, and you’ll know you’ve done just a little for our the planet as wella s for our community.

Taylor Garrett Whiskey

A bottle of Taylor Garrett Old Fashioned cocktail next to a garnished glass, flanked by two antlers on a dark wood table.

Albuquerque-based Taylor Garrett is creating novel bourbon and rye whiskey based on an “accelerated” aging technique. Their pre-made “Old Fashioned” cocktail takes away the stress of being an expert mixologist. Serve over ice with an orange twist and a cherry.

Back at the Ranch

A pair of charcoal gray unisex Western boots made with prized ostrich leather on the toe and a stacked wooden heel.

Designed in Santa Fe and made in El Paso by three generations of skilled boot makers, this snappy, unisex boot fits all walks of life. The prized ostrich leather toe is less likely to dry out and crack over time thanks to its naturally high oil content.

The Collective

A black leather shagreen ice bucket with a brass accent handle on the lid, resting on a wooden plank with brass tongs.

Elevate your cocktail hour with this black leather shagreen ice bucket. It has a removable stainless steel ice container and sports a sturdy leather handle for easy portability. The brass accent on the lid gives this ice bucket a modern and contemporary feel.

Wanderlusty Woman x Sukmani Jewelry and Furnishings

Three models wearing colorful, handwoven, and embroidered Moroccan Saharan coats over simple clothing, standing among spherical cactus plants.

High-end fashion meets craft and story with these coats from Wanderlusty, a selection of which are available at Sukmani through January. These handwoven treasures are from the Medinas of Marrakech and the Saharan edges of Morocco and have been sensitively transformed into wearable art with the help of local artisans and expert tailors. No two are alike.

Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian

Crafted by master silversmith Cippy Crazy Horse, this tufa cast necklace is a striking interpretation of the protective Naja symbol. Defined by the use of heavy-gauge sterling silver and linear carvings, the piece is equal parts statement piece and talisman.

Indian Pueblo Store

Tufa-cast sterling silver cuff bracelet by Mathew Lovato with geometric lightning motifs and a round piece of bright red Apple coral.

Crafted by Santo Domingo silversmith Mathew Lovato, this bracelet is made using the traditional tufa-casting method. Sunrays extend from a striking piece of Apple coral, while geometric lightning motifs bring powerful symbolism to the design. A timeless addition to any Native American jewelry collection.

W Department

A black bomber jacket by Nigel Cabourn featuring gray denim contrast panels in a mid-century style with silver buttons.

Designed in the UK by Nigel Cabourn and made in Japan, this simple bomber jacket marries the good manners of mid-century design with the sharp taste of modern fashion. Classic and notably well-made, this will fit well into wardrobes now and ten years on.

H Bar C

A man modeling a black H Bar C Western-style tencel jacket with white swirling embroidery, worn over a white t-shirt and blue jeans.

It’s hardly Santa Fe style without some western flair! Originally designed for famed country crooner Bob Wills back in 1936, this H Bar C staple is a cool layering piece even if you don’t own a lasso. Made from tencel, an eco-friendly textile woven from the pulp of eucalyptus trees, this jacket is breathable and moisture-wicking.

Santa Maria Provisions

A stack of five brightly wrapped Mistral bar soaps next to an unwrapped pale bar, on a dark wooden table.

California-based Mistral soaps are inspired by the classic soaps you find traveling in the south of France. They’re made with organic shea butter and olive oil to be gentle on your skin. Wrapped in marbled paper, they make a thoughtful gift.
