Sustainable shopping: the most beautiful slow living interior, fashion and concept stores and web shops
Shops with lots of white, earth tones and wood. Lots of tranquility and rich materials. And the thought: buy less, choose well. Extremely suitable for lovers of clean and quiet wardrobes and interiors. But also for the fanfare makers a quiet element in your collection never hurts. Where in the Netherlands can you shop in the most beautiful slow living concept stores and web shops? Not all products have a sustainable label, but they do anyway made to last and are made with love.
The building of The Fine Store in The Hague is beautiful. Beautiful large round windows with lots of light. And all the furniture and interior items look so beautiful. To make you greedy. Anyway, you remember buy less. The webshop of The Fine Store is just as nice. And you will find furniture, lighting, interior accessories such as tableware, candles, jewelry, books and stationery. Brands such as By Mölle, Hay, Frama, Iris Hantverk, Secto and more. Expect lots of clean lines in combination with natural curves in white, cream, light gray and beige. Linen fabrics, light wood, pottery and lots of peace and quiet…
De minimalism in Amsterdam we certainly know these. The Sukha store on Haarlemmerstraat. Sukha houses clothing from brands such as Pomandère, Monique van Heist, Kings of Indigo, Embassy of Bricks and Logs and many small brands. You will also find jewelry, accessories, wall art, candles, etc. The own brand Atelier Sukha has one of the most beautiful tableware we know. But also furniture, swings (for the house, yes), blankets, lots of beautiful paper flags, kitchen ware and other beautiful things. Although we always find a visit to the flagship store inspiring,... Sukha Also a webstore to get these nice things at home.
Because we like to show that beautiful shops are everywhere in the country, we are now flying to Leeuwarden. Suzanne and Gerard lived in Amsterdam and fell in love with a house in the North. Things changed and they left - including two small kids - for Leeuwarden where they started a new home and new job. Bee Nord you can go for coffee and something small. And if you're not careful, you can walk out with a bag of beautiful things. Oops. They have many beautiful plants, pots and other growing materials. And interior accessories, office supplies, jewelry, care products and more fun to give away or give yourself as a gift. For the people who think 'I know this story' Suzanne is aka Suussies who make very nice crowns and bows for children. And certainly fun to follow online from her beautiful home in Leeuwarden.
Not for the first time, Barts Boekje is talking about the Dutch interior brand By Mölle. They make the most beautiful bed and bath linen, curtains, cushions and rugs from natural materials. Slow living and care for the planet are at the top of the brand's list of values. Since this is an entire lifestyle that is not limited to textiles, they also have other brands with home goods in the webshop. Pottery, lamps, furniture, accessories. You know the drill. You can't get enough of this zen style. By Mölle also has two B&Bs where everything looks wonderfully atmospheric.
This one is too nice not to include in this list. Sûr Atelier in Haarlem makes clothing and home textiles in its own studio in the store. Here, new Dutch people (refugees with Dutch status) use their craft to create the collection and make custom-made interior items such as curtains. In addition to women's clothing, Sûr also has furniture, children's clothing and toys, tableware and care products. Sûr Atelier is a shop, studio and café in one. And definitely worth a visit in Haarlem.
Please keep an eye on this list. We will continue to replenish it.
