Iittala Outlet is one of my fav stores in Sweden at the Handelsplats Höganäs Outlet, & it's a bonus just 15-mins. away from my MIL's place!
The store offers second-hand products & outlet bargains as well as a wide range of first-hand products on Nordic design products from brands such as Iittala, Rörstrand, MoominArabia, Arabia, & Fiskars for the entire home: glass & porcelain, cooking & frying products, garden tools & inspiring interior design items. I'm mainly here for the Moomin goods, & have been collecting the dinnerware, mugs, & utensils each time I visit my MIL.
On my recent return to Sweden, I'm picking up Moomin souvenirs for my daughter's godmother's family & my Yelp buddy, Lily W. I got a collection of adorable Moomin shot mugs for Eriko N. (godmother) & cute Moomin mugs for her kids (godbrother & godsister). And for Miss Lily a cute set of Moomin teaspoons. I also picked up a couple of pillowcases for my kids. They had some logo scissors but I couldn't justify $15 USD for a pair of kids scissors, no matter how cute the design looks. Moomin has a sale of 30% - 60% discount on dinnerware, mugs, utensils, & napkins; no markdowns on the new season items.
They also carry Fiskars that's best known for its iconic orange-handled scissors (in 1980s) & gardening, creating, & cooking products. It was founded back in 1649 as an ironworks by the Fiskars river in Finland. Pans & casseroles are made in Finland at Fiskars' environmental management certified (ISO 14001) factory.
Arabia is known for their ceramics & crockeries. I saw some nice soup/cereal bowls, bit skipped it because of my luggage & weight limitations. Iittala also had some nice solid color bowls.
They had a Kullamust (apple juice) sale at almost 1/3 of the regular price; I didn't pick up any because my MIL stocked up for our visit. I only wished they had Yulmust (spiced cola) that's only available during Christmas season; I think this is way better than Coca-Cola.
What's great is the store has a gift wrapping station by the exit to wrap the delicate glasses & ceramics to transport safely home, or wrap as a gift. They even supply ribbons! The clerk said since we're visitors, we may be able to claim the VAT when we leave. Yay!
If you're looking for a good bargain, come to Iittala Outlet for Nordic product deals, especially on Moomin as this seems to be trending in the U.S./South Bay lately. read more
