Shopping

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.

Tussenmeer Osdorp Market

Situated on a bustling shopping street in Osdorp, find more than 60 cosy Amsterdam market stalls parked in front of the shops every Tuesday. This multicultural market is located between Osdorpplein and the Osdorp Shopping Center. Visitors will always find a wide choice of the most diverse market goods.

Westerstraat Market

The Westerstraat market in Amsterdam is a weekly market with 212 stalls, held on Mondays in the Westerstraat in the Jordaan district. There are many stalls with fabrics and patches. The market is therefore also called 'the cloth market'.

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.

Book market Spui

Come rain or shine, this old-fashioned book market takes place on the bustling Spui square every Friday. About 25 booksellers gather here every week to sell their collections of old, rare, second-hand and out-of-print books.

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.

New Optimist

Sustainable fashion handmade in Amsterdam

All sweaters, t-shirts and pants are cut and sewn by the New Optimist team in the atelier of the Amsterdam store. Pop in anytime to see how your clothes are made and explore timeless items from durable fabrics, such as recycled cotton. The brand releases small, limited-edition batches of new styles every two weeks in-store and online, so make sure you don't miss out.
