My wife shopped here for two hours, because she was having so much fun trying things on, and…read morebecause the patterns on the dresses and the cut of the billowing pants themselves look like they were made for fun evenings out. She finally left with three purchases. My wife, fwi, is an expert, dedicated shopper, and this was the only store in all Stockholm that met her standards, the most important of them being something unique, something you couldn't find anywhere else. (They also play wonderful Spotify playlists and have chairs where husbands like me can sit and fiddle with their phones.)

A great place to visit if you're looking for unique interior design at a good price…read more A lot of the time second hand stores can get overwhelming, so I always check out the Refurn website so I know what I want to take a closer look at before I head over. The website is really user friendly; you can look at each item online and filter by category. The staff is extremely nice and helpful, and there's also a section of the store where you can pay for someone to help you repaint or rework the furniture piece you're buying. Great if you find the perfect piece but would like it freshened up, the color changed etc.

This thrift store is large and well sorted…read more You can find everything from glass ware and household goods to books and toys and even sunglasses. Their clothing section is huge - and nice. Children, men and women. Babies clothes are hardly used and really cute. Price tags are SEK10-20 for baby clothing and around SEK50 for adults. Winter jackets and coats are SEK100-400. Shoes are clean and nice, some never used, SEK80. The shoes are not well worn. Most glass and china are SEK10-20. It is clean and perfectly ok.

This is the heart of SoFo, packed with chic items actually made in Sweden. It's exactly what people…read moremean by "Nordic Cool." Even with a REA sign on display (which literally stands for "realizing assets" in Sweden), the prices still feel a bit steep. I might just be comparing it to Budapest or Paris, where affordable boutiques are everywhere.Then again, this is the Nordic region. They are very strict about keeping out cheap mass-productions or low-quality goods from third-party countries. Unlike some "Made in Italy" labels that actually rely on exploited cheap labor, Sweden focuses on the real deal. I absolutely love the minimalism of Swedish chic. If you are in Stockholm, SoFo is definitely a standout spot! I would give it a 4 out of 5 stars, even though I didn't end up buying anything. Södermalm is truly the place to be if you want to avoid the usual tourist crowds. They are Swedes, so if you say "Hej Hej," the service is going to be awesome. Having been around Scandinavians ( Americans) all my life, the culture is completely familiar to me. Yes, you get a straight face instead of bubbly, cheap small talk, but there is a genuine, warm welcome underneath. Fake small talk just doesn't exist in their service industry.

The modest exterior and unexpected location almost made me miss this outlet gem…read more I'm really happy I turned in my step, as I found a variety of high end, mostly Scandinavian, brands at 50-80% off from what seemed to be recent collections - and walked out with two V-ave s/s13 pieces at 60% off each. The store itself is not as considered retail space as the Acne outlet or The Whyred outlet, but the variety of brands makes up for it. The helpful staff doesn't hurt either!
