Stockholm Shopping

Grandpa Store

The two main shopping areas worth noting in Stockholm are central Stockholm, the roads leading off Birger Jarlsgatan and the area called Sodermalm, which is filled with quirky boutiques and trendy Scandinavian labels.

If your staying at the Berns or Nobis (see sleeping), you are within easy walking distance of the main designer street, Birger Jarlsgatan. Also just around the corner from there are all the major high street stores including a huge H&M (obviously, its in its homeland) and one of the biggest Zara’s I’ve ever been to.

The main designer street in Stockholm, Birger Jarlsgatan becomes Stureplan, which is the best area to hang out in the evening.

The brand new Whyred store opened during fashion week with a slick, polished show filled with wearable, desirable pieces for men and women. Whyred’s design philosophy is edgy but wearable, soft tailoring with flashes of bold block colour. Its location is just off the Birger Jarlsgatan near Acne, Natalie Schuterman and Mrs H.

The place to find Prada, Dries and Miu Miu in Stockholm. The perfect wardrobe for the working well heeled women. The kids store next door is super cute.

Aiming at a slightly younger demographic then Natalie Schuterman, Mrs H stocks newer hot designer labels like Alexander Wang, Christopher Kane and Isabel Marant.

If you haven’t gathered already (see past posts), Acne is one of my favourite brands. Where better to shop from the label than in it’s home town, Stockholm.

Old Town

Its quite a tourist trap but definitlty worth a visit, especially in winter when it snows and all the tiny little artisan and craft shops have fairy lights in the window. It’s located just behind the main Palace and is an idyllic way to spend the afternoon. Meander around the tiny alley ways and back streets, it’s so romantic.

Old Town is where you’ll find the Maria Nildotter shop and studio. Known for her macabre themed fine jewellery pieces, I couldn’t resist, I bought practically everything in the shop.

Sodermalm

About a 10 minute walk over the bridge from Old Town is the trendy up and coming area of Sodermalm.

Sodermalm is the equivalent of East London, an area which is in the process of urban renewal and is a hub of creativity, due to low rent and studio spaces.

For local Swedish boutiques and trendy stores head to Sodermalm

Great Scandinavian labels to look out for here include:
Weekday

Stylein

Swedish Has Beens
Monki
Wood Wood
Grandpa Boutique which stocks Dagmar

The main streets to head to are Gotgatan with Weekday, Monki and Stylein around the corner.
Or venture a little further off the beaten track and head to Soddermannagatan and Skanegatan.
