Unique boutiques in the Negen Straatjes
Amsterdam has a variety of unique shopping streets, but the Negen Straatjes (also known as the Nine Streets) has to be one of the most popular and loved shopping districts for locals and visitors to explore. Knowing where to begin can be overwhelming, so we’ve narrowed down some of the most unique and independent boutiques you can only find in this lively part of De Jordaan.
Rain Couture
Starting with an Amsterdam-essential concept store, Rain Couture provides raincoats that are suitable for all occasions, and makes anyone stand out from the crowd, while still being extremely practical. Brand founder Daphne Gerritse struggled with biking around this notoriously rainy city and finding the perfect coat that did not make her too hot or cold. From there, she built her innovative brand.
