Shopping and markets

P.C. Hooftstraat

The PC Hooftstraat is the chicest shopping street in Amsterdam. Here you will find shops of world brands such as Dior, Prada, Gucci, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Breitling and of course Oger. This street where money plays no role is colloquially called the P.C.

Salon Heleen Hulsmann

A veritable Ali Baba’s cave of second-hand designer fashion (and just as well hidden), Salon Heleen Hulsman carries only the most carefully hand-picked clothing, shoes and accessories from couture collections from the past three years. Among their racks of unique, prized and beautiful items you’ll find a great selection of Stella McCartney scarves, Saint Laurent sneakers, Missoni dresses – and much, much more, from the most elegant to the quirky.

Urban Cacao

Under the huge roof of Urban Cacao on the Rozengracht in Amsterdam, discover the irresistible offerings of handmade bon-bons, chocolate bars, macarons and pastries.

Kringloopwinkel De Lokatie

Sniff out a bargain at recycling organisation De Lokatie, which offers two stores in North. The expansive branch on Distelweg covers no less than 2,000m², complete with a coffee corner.

Property Of...

Timeless backpacks, travel bags and work bags made from recycled materials.

Klabu

Klabu helps young refugees who live in refugee camps under difficult circumstances. You can support this project in a fun way!

Doordeweeks

The adventure of Wiske and Jildou began in the East of Amsterdam, and after an expansion into a second store in Oostpoort, it is continuing with a new chapter in Amsterdam Zuid at the Ferdinand Bolstraat147, much to the delight of fans of vintage fashion, interior goodies, second handed furniture, art and accessories.

HEMA

HEMA, a department store of sorts, which sells only own-brand products, is ubiquitous on the Dutch high street, but that doesn’t mean it is pedestrian in any way.

Betjeman & Barton, Teashop, Delicatessen and Cadeaux

With the tea from Betjeman & Barton you opt for quality and variety.
Our current tea selection consists of 100 different teas and is continuously evolving. We do also offer a lot of other gourmet products like chocolate, cookies, olive oil. Besides that you find a lot of tablewear.

Van Verre

Fairtrade interior design 

In this home furnishings store, you will find accessories with a meaningful story. Van Verre has been building lasting relationships with makers of traditional crafts worldwide for more than 20 years. Here you will find plaids made of vintage saris from India, woven rugs from Bolivia and handmade jewellery from Mali. The creators receive a fair price, which contributes to preserving their cultural crafts.

Yumeko Showroom

“Change the world by sleeping” is a very relaxing thought, and with Yumeko’s organic FairChain bedding, you do just that.

Zorgboerderij Ons Verlangen

Just pull it from a wall ‘automaat’: milk, cheese, yoghurt, and other dairy products. This unique concept, which translates as “Care Farm Our Desires”, just north of Amsterdam North, not only offers a high-tech way to buy produce, but it also offers employment to those who need more personalised guidance. Cows and sheep are also usually on-hand for a chat.

The Collection One

A store and webshop with high-quality preloved and vintage clothing

Make conscious fashion choices by going for clothes and accessories made of beautiful, durable materials that will last a long time. In the (online) store, you will find clothing and accessories from sustainable brands or carefully chosen preloved and vintage items.

Bijzonder Amsterdams concept store

Furniture and home decor handmade by special Amsterdammers

Where else do you buy a table that no one else has? Or a hand-cast tableware, of which no piece is the same? Here! This shop sells furniture and accessories made in Cordaan's social studio. People with intellectual disabilities or mental problems can express their creativity and skills by making one-of-a-kind items. Unique, imaginative and memorable.

Zorgboerderij Hoogerlust

A social farm shop

You can purchase fresh meat, fruit, soup, and pantry staples such as jam, honey and oil at this daycare farm. The products come directly from the farm or fellow farmers, gardeners and growers. In the fall, you can also find wood for the fireplace. Talented people who need care work on the farm under the guidance and supervision that allows them to blossom. Hoogerlust will change its name to De Bleije Farm, so visit debleijeboerderij.nl soon for more information.

A Space Oddity

Toys aren't just for kids. At A Space Oddity on the Prinsengracht, many adults come to get their hands on a film or television character.
