Located in the centre of Kalverstraat, Amsterdam’s busiest shopping street, our dutch flagship store recently celebrated its first anniversary. We took a follow up visit back and spoke to some of the staff about their favourite things about the city and the surrounding area. The store boasts two floors of some of our best footwear and apparel, and in the stairwell hangs a one-off bespoke sculpture by artist, Filfury.

Long, cobbled streets sit alongside beautiful working canals and a variety of incredible, and sometimes extremely offset architecture that has been a mainstay in the city for centuries.
