Gate-side socks run low? Puket in T1 fills the gap.
Puket sits airside in Terminal T1 at Curitiba-Afonso Pena, on the main retail strip after security, so you can grab last-minute socks or gifts without backtracking to landside shops. It’s a small footprint store, but every wall is stacked with colorful socks, sleepwear, and kids’ accessories in the usual Puket cartoon styles.
Expect airport pricing: basic adult socks often run in the R$25–R$35 range, with multipacks and themed kids’ pieces creeping higher. Stock leans heavily to women’s and children’s designs, with a narrower rack for men’s sizes, so plan extra time if you’re picky about patterns. Payment is straightforward with cards and contactless; cash in reais is accepted but not needed.
You won’t find electronics, luggage, or serious outerwear here; think soft goods only: socks, pajamas, slippers, underwear, and small gift items. This makes Puket a decent stop if your child spilled juice at the gate or you misjudged how cold the cabin gets on a 2–3 hour domestic leg. For anything beyond that, the larger mixed-merch stores in T1 have broader gear.
Stock turnover at airport branches can be slower than in city malls, so seasonal or limited prints might not match what you saw online last month. If you care about specific collections, snap a quick look while passing; you can loop back in under 5 minutes from most nearby T1 gates. Tip: use a price-comparison app before you pay if you already know Puket’s street prices in Curitiba’s malls, so you’re not surprised by the airport markup.
