Colombian Gift Shops/Specilaty Stores in NYC area

I have always wanted one of those Colombian smbreros but can never find them around here for the life of me. Know any place that sells things like this?

I will ask but I think most of those items are things people have to get here and bring back. My friend in Queens specifically asked for one of those little tapestries they make but his other friend is going up there in a couple weeks so I am no longer obligated. He wants some special one they make up in Zipaquirá and the guy lives there already.
In Bogotá they have all the artesanías on cra 15 just south of unilago. You can get a sombrero voltiao there for sure.
A friend of mine here from BAQ is getting one custom made for me and sending it to me :P Elmo and I will have to hook up put our sombreros on and go out to Queens and get shitfaced!

You should have attended one of the many Colombian fiestas held recently in your area, they had them for sale. There is a hell of a lot of crappy ones out there, I use a crappy one when I am out in the Florida sun mowing my lawn. If you want a good one, you will pay top dollar in the US and they aren't cheap in Colombia. There is a lot of labour that goes into a good one.
