I generally don't like to write reviews after a long gap from the time of the experience, but in this case, Iris Hantverk's wares have repeatedly impressed me for over a year. Last Christmas I ended up at this shop at the recommendation of my Airbnb host. I was looking for some Swedish mementos that I could use for years to come, that emulated the beautiful Scandinavian design asethetic, and that weren't touristy chintzy. Enter Iris Hantverk. They carry a diverse array of fabrics, blankets, china, brushes, and some contemporary clothing and shoes. At holiday time they also stock stylish ornaments and decorations. The Klippan wool blankets are a particularly good value, with many priced under $100 USD. During these cold days of winter, I still burrow in my blanket on a regular basis. They also offer complimentary gift wrapping for your purchases.
This particular store is located in Stockholm's picturesque and often tourist-crowded old town, Gamla Stan, and is much smaller than the other one that I also visited at Kungsgatan 55 in the more central Normmalm neighborhood. The larger store carries more clothing and furniture, as well as wider variety of blankets. They also have an online shop, but alas it currently only ships to addresses in Sweden. read more
