T.I.T.S

COFFEE, FASHION

A cute little store in West where you will find a selected mix of funky new brands. T.I.T.S stands for ‘This Is The Shit’, and they live up to the name! Most of the brands in store are yet unknown; these are all very special pieces for affordable prices. I bought an amazing hat of Brixton for only 60 euros. They also have a little coffee corner in the back where they serve excellent coffees and when it’s sunny you can drink your coffee in their beautiful garden.

Atelier Sukha

FASHION – DECORATIONS – ACCESSORIES

This amazing store is located in one of our favourite streets in Amsterdam. The Haarlemmerstraat. Full of boutique shops and eateries, this place is kinda special and different from other concept stores in Amsterdam. All items are handmade with a focus on nature. You can find warm scarves and cardigans, handcrafted jewelry, decorations, paper goods and kitchenware. The store is also a big fan of sustainability and therefore prefers to sell as many local goods as possible. Did you know Sukha means “joy of life” in Sanskrit? No wonder, this store will make you smile.

ANNA + NINA

ACCESSORIES AND MORE

This is one of our favorite stores when looking for a fantastic original gift. What many people probably don’t know is that Anna en Nina founded their namesake agency in 2012, back then they only specialized in jewelry and accessories. After that Anna and Nina opened their first store in Amsterdam in 2013 with a second following in the same city in June 2014, where they sell a variety of super cool brands. They already have 3 locations at the moment! They sell funny and super nice pieces of jewelry, accessories, gifts, and beautiful interior items.

Sissy Boy

CLOTHES – LUNCH – INTERIOR & ACCESSORIES

OK, we all know this one. Nevertheless, it’s so worth mentioning Sissy Boy because it’s one of the best concept stores in Amsterdam and The Netherlands. It seems that they are getting better every year with new upgrades on style, furniture, and must-haves. When we walk past a Sissy Boy store, we can’t help but take a peek inside and before we know it, our bank account has lost a little funding, oops! There are too many locations to mention so take a look at the website to find your nearest store. Sissy Boy may close its stores because of bankruptcy, such a shame! Fingers crossed that they will make it.

Makers Store

CLOTHES – BOOKS – INTERIOR & ACCESSORIES

The Maker Store is the spot in Amsterdam where you can find unique and authentic products made by locals. In the store, which is located in De Hallen in Amsterdam West, they offer a combination of innovative art pieces, sustainable fashion, books, food, and wanna have items. We like this store and hopefully, we can sell our book there one day!
