About
Sarahi Papeleria Merceria Bisuteria is a craft supply, stationery, and notions shop on Avenida Mexico in Cancun. Like other papeleria-merceria-bisuteria combination stores in Mexico, it carries stationery, sewing notions, fabric, ribbons, beads, jewelry-making supplies, and costume jewelry components.
For crafty families, Sarahi offers the same appeal as Sakuri — Mexican-priced craft supplies at a fraction of US costs. The combined format means beading supplies, sewing materials, stationery items, and art supplies are all under one roof.
The jewelry-making section is the family draw. Beads in every size and color, elastic cord, chain, clasps, pendant charms, and tools let kids create custom jewelry during their vacation. The cost for a full bracelet-making kit's worth of supplies is just a few dollars.
The store is on Avenida Mexico in a residential-commercial area, accessible by taxi from the Hotel Zone but not on the typical tourist route. Visit if you're in the area or if your kids are serious about crafts.
Browsing is free. Plan for 20-45 minutes. The store is small but densely stocked.
