Barrio Patronato, in the Recoleta commune of Santiago, is Chile's best-known clothing and import wholesale district. Streets such as Antonia López de Bello, Pasaje Asunción, Manzano and Santa Filomena hold hundreds of stores and importers organised by the local traders' association, selling women's, men's and children's clothing, accessories and bags at wholesale prices to resellers from across Chile. Metro Line 2's Patronato station puts visitors at the edge of the district, which grew around late-19th-century immigrant commerce near the Mapocho riverbank.
Most Patronato buyers are importers stocking directly from Asia, with wholesale minimums of a few dozen units per style — an ideal match for Chinese apparel, accessory and bag exporters seeking a Chilean distribution entry point. The traders' association lists member wholesalers, making it easier to pre-arrange showroom visits. The district is walkable from Vega Central and Bellavista, so business trips can combine fashion wholesale with Santiago's food-market circuit.
