I love their selection of adorable children's clothes, toys, and accessories. I don't know how they squeeze so many treasures and treats for little people of all ages into such a cozy little shop. I can say this: they have a great musical instrument selection for infants/toddlers (their high-quality wooden maracas have saved our lives by soothing our baby boy when nothing else would), Jellycat stuffed toys (a huge favorite in the US and hard to find here), and great sales on their very nice and very unique children's and baby's clothes. I can't walk in without buying something. Plenty of room for prams in the front entrance even if it doesn't look like it!

This seems like a larger Marimekko in Helsinki (and, we walked past a few of them!) There's an…read moreupstairs and a downstairs which includes mostly womenswear and accessories--with the surprising exception of what I think were a few menswear items! Whatever guy is walking around sporting Marimekko is a pretty cool fella in my book! Unfortunately... I could not convince my significant other to purchase the man-bag (i think it was actually unisex) that I was waving in the air at him. LOL! Maybe next time. ;) I didn't know that much about the famed Marimekko brand before my trip to Helsinki, but it's actually pretty interesting! Before we got there, I went to the website and read/watched the whole "about us" section. It had all these great creative videos and descriptions of how they design, print and construct their creations. I think in such a mass-produced era of factory goods it's easy to take for granted the craftsmanship behind the scenes. Without any knowledge of the brand I could've easily just walked in and out like "ehhh... another bold print. Don't they have fabric like this at IKEA?" But, by just going to their wonderfully designed website before coming to the actual store it made me really appreciate what I was seeing in person. Plus, I'm pretty sure that a lot of those IKEA fabric prints are a "inspired" (slightly copied) version of the original artistry you see here. Before you head to the store, I really suggest that you check the site to see a little more about what actually goes on behind those iconically Finnish bold patterns! I know that I understood and appreciated it much more than I would've otherwise.

I am so happy that I was actually able to visit the store while I was in Helsinki, there is not a…read morelot of good high end shopping here. This is the only store that I could find in Finland that actually sells Chanel purses. Unfortunately the time I was in Finland was over the Easter holiday, and most places were closed on Friday, Sunday and Monday. Luckily, Della Marga was open on Easter Monday, even though online it stated it was closed. I was able to come here just before they closed and get myself a couple of purses. For International Travel, they are a Global Blue Store, which means you get a percentage or amount off on the items you purchase if they qualify. At the time I went it was 15% off any purchase between $1000-$5000. Over $5000 you get 17% off, the price, since tax is already calculated into the ticket price. You will get your savings from the Airport when you leave. I had Milla? as my sales associate, and she was extremely helpful and friendly when I walked into the store. She explained all the savings that I would get and provided my boyfriend with some of the reading material regarding that. She brought out all the bags for me to see and select from. She showed me EVERYTHING Chanel that they had so that I could make a good selection and find the right fit. She wasn't pushy or rushing me even though it was getting close to closing time for them. She was extremely attentive and was listening to what I was looking for. The store has free wifi, so that you can take pictures and send to those people that you may need to that aren't there with you. I had cell service in Finland, so I didn't need it, but I definitely took time to show pictures to my mom and see if she wanted anything and her suggestions for my purchases. I've been to some Chanel Boutiques who won't even allow you to take photos, which I find extremely frustrating, and plenty of others like this one where they encourage and allow it. I really enjoyed the hassle free shopping. If I ever find myself in Finland again, this is definitely one of my first stops off the plane. I would recommend this store to anyone looking for higher end fine fashion items while in Helsinki.

The store tries to be more than it is. The staff does not know the brands well enough, and they…read morecertainly don't know the European pricing of the brands. They try to act as if they would. Beware, they try to convince you their prices are the same as in elsewhere, for example France, but really they put about 25% extra to prices -quite much when buying for example bags worth thousands. Also don't trust them when it comes to availability of the same products in other stores around Europe. Also the owner is a bit, hmm, "personality". On good mood lovely, on bad mood she can be seen yelling at customers. Just skip this and go to Vuitton in Helsinki or visit Chanel or YSL own stores in other countries.

The shops sell things ranging from crafts and souvenir to fresh produces like berries and veggies and cafe food.

Pluses are that there's no entrance fee but, as a big foodie fan, I wish they have more selection for edible food to try out!
