Shopping for interior, fashion and goodies in Haarlem
It was now five (time flies) years ago that we wrote this shopping in Haarlem list. And things sometimes change in a city in five years. This is also the case in Haarlem. Some shops came, others left and some are no longer to our taste (sorry). What do we really think are the nicest shops in the city on the Spaarne? Shopping in Haarlem at the nicest shops for interior design, fashion, care or treats.
Fun fact, if you wonder why Haarlem addresses have zw or r behind them. In Haarlem they indicate down or up with black or red. In houses with an upstairs apartment, you will see the house number twice on the door frame. Once in black and once in red.
What are the newest places to be during your visit to Haarlem?
Fashion, accessories, interior decoration, lifestyle and kids. And all that in one store. ID Store is California vibe inspired. Beautiful floral blouses, cool body warmers but also good black pants or boots. A combination of current and always good. You want all the jewelry, cards, metallic paint, tie dye items and jewelry (Labro and from the US). Schagchelstraat 7
Another unique Haarlem store Rugs & Ramblers. It started with vintage Moroccan rugs and grew to include everything that makes your home happy. Lamps (George Store), natural paint (Wow Makers), ceramics and sometimes a mini collection of cool clothing items. They have just opened in a beautiful new store and are definitely worth a visit. Bakenesserstraat 12zw
An original lampshade is sometimes just what your interior needs. To pimp up that old lamp base that your grandmother gave you or simply because you are missing color in your interior. The ladies of Madame Garage have a real lamp workshop where you can find unique shades and bases. Dark Spaarne 26zw
* Closed * To stay with your furnishings, a beautiful bouquet of flowers or special plant is also indispensable. Paul, the floral artist behind the shop Five-leaf clover, is first of all very nice, secondly he has a great taste in flowers which he uses to arrange the most beautiful bouquets. Breestraat 30
Where can you eat and sleep in Haarlem and surroundings? And which one new spots are worth a visit?
They have also discovered natural wine in Haarlem. And enthusiasts must (yes must) stop by a sense of place, or ASOP Wines. The owner tells the most tasty stories about natural wine, ciders and other drinkable delicacies. Guaranteed that you will take a bottle (or two) home with you. Gierstraat 14
Walk a few meters and you will find another connoisseur. Marlous van Skin District knows everything about clean beauty. In the beauty salon they have a wide range of sustainable care products. And you will immediately receive the best advice for your skin type. Gierstraat 8
Sit a few meters further in Gierstraat Drifter (fashion), HAYxDrifter (interior) and Magpie & Jay (art, interior and gifts). Plus grab a delicious lobster croquette Olivine Caterer in the same row.
Broekhof The Butcher's Daughter is a butcher with many vegetarian options, deli and sandwich shop. In addition to a wide choice of meat from good sources and vegetarian and vegan options (the vegan cheese is recommended), they also have a wide selection of wines and food that are nice to give as a gift. Plus a tasty lunch spot. Kruisstraat 4
From goodies to eat to interior candy. At the end of 2022, Hanna and Vera opened a store with interior items, The James. Here they sell large and small ones homegoods in natural tones, black and white. From chunky candlesticks to beautiful glass and wool rugs. Kleine Houtstraat 20
In Haarlem you will find good coffee with tasty treats and a nice ambiance here.
Sûr Atelier is a charity and shop in one. In the open studio, professionals who came to the Netherlands as refugees create Sûr's own designs. In the beautiful store you will find women's clothing from Sûr, interior items and a coffee/lunch section. Gedempte Oude Gracht 87
Of course, we are far from done. TradeStudio, Petit Depot, Anything else, Stylographer vintage and the shop with French food products Ti Bisou crèpes are all still part of it. And we're probably forgetting a few nicer ones.
From one Haarlem webshop to another. Atelier Labro we all know – right? – from the fiori necklaces. The Dutch jewelry brand now has an entire collection of jewelry with an Italian twist. Pearls, beautiful chain pendants, gold chains and earrings – everything can be wonderfully mixed. The Italo vibe is more than just jewelry and Labro also has crocheted bags, Italian skincare, cashmere scarves and books about Italy. Anyway, Labro used to be in a nice business park, but is now moving to the center of Haarlem. So that we can try on, feel and taste the collection (not really tasting of course, but that Italy chic taste the atmosphere). A few doors down from Mogador coffee bar, where the Magodor Bazaar pop-up used to be, Labro is opening a shop. We like it.
Labro, Gasthuisstraat Haarlem
Nothing to eat for a while, but don't miss: The babe, a dream of an interior design store in Haarlem. We want EVERYTHING. Saving is the credo. Would you like to walk past a shop window as beautiful as La Nena's without even thinking about it? We don't believe anything. Because reason one, name a store that comes close in terms of looks? You won't find them easily (they are there, but can be counted on one hand) in the Dutch shopping street scene. Reason two: those lamps, that crockery and those vases (three reasons for the price of one). And finally: everything you see comes straight from the already impressive Galicia, Lugo. There La Nena emerges as a mini-chain, spread throughout Spain's own interior and a little further afield.
