Covered Wagon

I was looking for moccasins and i believe they house what used to be called The Mocassin Shop. They had an awesome selection of Mocs in every color and size. I found what i was looking for– leather bottom mocs-​at reasonable price. They have a lot of hats and t-​shirts, some t-​shirts are on sale gor $ 5.99 plus there are some unusual local ones. Then they have the array of keepsakes like tiles and stickers and dishes and Pendleton blankets and towels. The place goes on and on, one room to another around corners and through hallways. There is something here for any budget but a lot made in china. There are some local artists represented if you look carefully and ask.

I was just in the store and this store has false advertising and a lying employee who tried to pull a bait and switch from when I asked her a question to a minute later when I got to the cash register

Although limited, you will find Breaking Bad memorabilia here. Posters, magnets, dolls, pins; not a whole lot but they do sell it and cheap.
What stood out the most here is the locally made jewelry and ethnic religious things. You know what? Not expensive either. Maybe it’s because I’m from Miami where everything, touristy or not, is ridiculously expensive but, I’m not finding these shops bad in price.
Again, check out the locally made jewelry. It’s very nice.

Massive selection of inexpensive toys, trinkets and such. From coffee mugs to keychains with names on them, you’ll find all the mementoes here that you could possibly imagine. Prices range from low to medium.
The gal who rang me up was friendly and nice.

Amazing gift shop. By far the biggest selection of gifts compared to the other shops I visited. Cashier up front super nice, found a box for the wood carving I bought and wrapped everything.

Great place to go for inexpensive New Mexican souvenirs. Lots of little trinkets to mail the out-​of-​town family and friends.

This is one of the larger stores in Albuquerque’s touristy Old Town, but it’s a good place to get souvenirs for friends and family.
They have all the touristy things you can think of – magnets, bead jewelry, trinkets, carvings, leather goods, Navajo pottery, t-​shirts, etc. We walked out with a jar of Albuquerque-​made red chili sauce ($ 6), a t-​shirt and two Navajo-​made pottery bowls from the adjacent store ($ 33 each). Later, in a shop in a less touristy area of town, I found similar bowls for around the $ 26 so their prices are probably a little higher due to the convenient location.
Note: Dog friendly.

A journey to Albuquerque circa 1957, as recounted by Timmy, age eight:
Boy, mom and pop sure got excited about our trip to New Mexico. They were tellin’ me about how the place was still the Wild West, how some places never change and how in New Mexico, cowboys still git them Indians and how if ya ain’t careful and stay in the city, them savages’ll scalp ya. I gotta tell ya, I was real worried about what might happen when we got there, but I didn’t want nobody to know so I kept my mouth shut. Pop always says real men don’t get scared.
When we made it to Albuquerque, the first place we went was to this place called Old Town. We was walkin’ around what they call the Plaza and I saw all kinds of Injuns there, selling jewelry and stuff, and I got pretty scared because I didn’t want to get scalped, but my pop said I didn’t have to worry, that they were domesticated, not rabid and wild like the ones in the mountains. Then we walked into this store called the Covered Wagon. That was the best part of our whole trip.
Everything I ever wanted was in that store! Rifles, sheriff’s badges, handcuffs, cowboy boots, and all kinds of stuff that I could put on to pretend I’m huntin’ a real Injun! Or I could be one myself: moccasins, bows & arrows, war paint, even some of them colored feather crowns that them chiefs wear right before they go on the war path. Lots of Mexican stuff there, too. Sombreros and blankets and stuff.
Boy oh boy, I sure hope things in New Mexico never, ever change, and I hope I never, ever grow up.

A big store filled with useless souvenirs. If you need useless souvenirs then this is the place for you.

This store has junk made in China but they let you know what it is. They do not try to pass it off as anything else. In one section of the store they have some of the best Native American arts I’ve seen. It’s worth the trip. I love it.

the biggest store. full of junk in the front. but in the back you can get nice moccasins and indian jewerly…

Covered Wagon is located in Old Town part of Alburquerque. If you are looking for souvenirs, then this is the right place for you! You can peruse through the trinkets, arts and crafts, jewelry, and food. You can’t miss this place since there is a bunch of chili peppers hanging outside of the store.
