Gate-side fashion stop near T1 departures
Just past security in Terminal T1, Studio F sits on the main departures walkway, so you’ll see it on the way to most international gates. It’s a standalone boutique, not a duty-free corner, and the focus is women’s fashion rather than generic travel gear. If you’ve got 20–30 minutes before boarding, there’s enough time to scan racks, try on one or two pieces, and still make it back to a gate like 10 or 12 without rushing.
Studio F runs typical Colombian high-street pricing: think around COP 150,000–300,000 for dresses, and roughly COP 120,000–250,000 for jeans and pants. Accessories like belts and small bags usually sit below COP 200,000. Expect current-season styles you’d see in city malls, not clearance-only stock pushed to the airport. Cards are accepted, and foreign Visa/Mastercard generally price in COP, so your bank’s FX rate matters more than anything the store does.
The shop leans into last-minute outfit fixes: blouses and tops that work for a same-day business meeting, plus pieces that can handle Medellín’s 22–26°C weather without looking like resort wear. Sizing follows Latin American standards, so if you’re used to US sizes, ask staff to help you translate your usual size number. Fitting rooms are inside the store, and trying on a few items typically adds 10–15 minutes to your stop.
Studio F at MDE keeps airport hours tied to T1’s first and last departures, generally open from around 05:00 until after the final evening flights around 22:00–23:00. If you’re on an early Avianca or LATAM departure, staff tends to be ready by the time check-in lines form. Final tip: take screenshots of any Studio F pieces you liked in town; it makes it easier to match cuts or sizes quickly before your boarding group is called.
