There…read morearen't many maternity stores in the city, so I went in search of some vitamin E oil and a moby wrap that has been eluding me elsewhere. After being shoved out of the way twice by a store employee- seriously? I'm 7 months pregnant in a maternity store for god's sake! - on her way to re-hang some nursing bras, I have sworn off this store for good. It didn't win them any points that again there was not a "moi!" or an acknowledgment from store staff when I walked into an almost-empty store. And no - they were not just busy. They're just plain rude. I'd rather pay the import taxes and shipping and order from out of the country than set foot in this store again.

Little man is fully dressed in a wardrobe of hand me downs and whatever outfits family end up buying because "they can't help themselves" However, I have a soft spot for bonnets and whimsical/earthy kids clothes... which Scandinavia and the UK seem to specialize in. We stumbled upon Newbie while in a galleria mall off the esplanade and had a blast digging through their clearance hats and selection of earth toned outfits. In the end, we landed on two hats and a mushroom onesie. Finland's love of mushrooms for the best of us. I look forward to perusing Newbie's clearance online in the future. From what I can tell, they also offer some maternity clothes.

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.

This is a fancy, old, classy, expensive department store in the middle of downtown Helsinki. It's…read morelike "All the roads lead to Stockman". At the grocery department you can find all kinds of goodies, pastry, fresh meat, fish, specialty products, and international foods. You also have several options to have something to eat either at the restaurant located upstairs, or at the many coffee/snack shops. This is like a huge fancy shopping opportunity for demanding shoppers. You can shop for beautiful handbags, high-end clothing and shoes, or if you favor a certain domestic or international cosmetic brand, they have it. Don't forget souvenirs, toys, home goods and Finnish design items. The customer service department will ship things for you to destinations all over the world and help you with duty free shopping. Among many other notable things is a big Alko store. This is the government monopolized liquor store. So, if you find great delicatessen for lunch or dinner, you will also have the opportunity to purchase alcoholic beverages to go along with your meals. Really, if you want to spend time and money here, it is truly worth the trip, and everlasting experience while in Helsinki. The best thing at Stockman building is electronics store called Power that I just discovered last Summer. They sell variety of appliances, phones and so on. Found a table phone for my mom who needed to replace her old one. She uses it for Skype calls from the USA. Customer service at this place is priceless. The young men helping me during my visits were so knowledgeable, patient and friendly. One nice traditional point about Stockman is, that they have a clock on the Alexanterinkatu side of their many entrances. That is famous among all people living in Helsinki. When meeting friends, we used to say: "Meet me under the Stockman's clock." Happy shopping and maybe I will see you there.

And then you get to the regular store which has everything you could possibly want and or need. I would equate it to a Nordstroms, or Macys. Nice quality brands and fair pricing. As a fun bonus I definitely recommend going down to bottom floor and you will find a very nice grocery store with all kinds of products. There is also ready to eat goods, hot, cold, fresh breads, pastries. Inside the store is also an outlet section if you're into a bargain! Who doesn't live a clearance section?? It's a fun store to wander around for sure!

Since my first visit I've accumulated quite a few awesome, smaller sized items (the store is focused on men's wear, but stocks small sizes and unisex stuff for the ladies) including a Gucci sweater, Pendleton wool shirt, and Carhartt work pants. They have a lot of mint condition brand names to choose from, and quite a variety (har,har) of styles and brands represented. The owner is helpful and conversational, as well as knowledgable about his stock. If you love vintage clothing and are in Helsinki, this should be your first stop!
