Dude, forget about shopping in Amsterdam. There isn't a single shop worth checking out in the segment you're talking about. Just go out and do some bad blow and look at the prostitutes.

This is the first thread on shops in/visiting Amsterdam on superfuture ever.

I mean EVER!

amsterdam isn't for that kind of shopping. bought the timeout guide and all of the places listed in there were absolute shit. Found one decent streetwear place, but its probably not to your taste, its called 8cht or something (8 in dutch?). Just spend your money on herbs.

[Charlie Delta]

Yes that place is shit...

Go to 290sqm, Patta, Ennu, Destination Shop, SPRMKT, 2PR, Tenue De Nimes. DROOG Gallery, The FrozenFountain and stay off the fucking bike paths!

also, this!

Close topic, kthnxbye!

Shopping in Amsterdam isn'that good. Only places worth to check out are SPRMRKT, 2PR and destination shop in my opinion. There's an area called '9 Straatjes' (9 streets) which may be worth checking out. Destination shop is also located there.

Then there is Waterlooplein, which is a vintage market with overpriced stuff. Every Monday morning there is the Noordermarkt, also a vintage market, where you can find stuff for 1 euro. But this also gets more expensive because of the popularity.

Last there is the P.C. Hooftstraat, which is a shitstreet basically, with the designer shops as Louis Vuitton, Chanel etc.

I think Amsterdam is best for smoking a joint and having some fun, but not shopping really. For parties/gigs check out www.melkweg.nl and www.paradiso.nl. There are also some nice clubs, depending on what music you like. And ye, stay off the biking paths haha.

You may want to visit Rotterdam if you're bored with Amsterdam. Some nice shops there. (1hour by train). www.margreetholsthoorn.nl/ sells Acne, Margiela, Vibskov, Bless, RAF etc.

http://www.prague-by-louis-dijksman.nl/ is a good shop, they sell Haider Ackerman, Jil Sander, Dries van Noten, Rick Owens, Ann D, Raf Simons and they have an outlet across the street.

Have fun!

Actually, Destination Shop is located in Weteringstraat, just off Lijnbaansgracht. It's near Rijksmuseum, not in De 9 Straatjes.
