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!

Worth the trip!…read more It's a little bit out of the way from the main, central parts of Stockholm, but it's easily accessibly by subway and the Acne Archiye is worth an hour of your time. It's a small store and you won't necessarily go in and "find" what you're looking for but instead, a unique piece or two might "find" you. The store has a whole range of Acne clothes and accessories, usually from older collections. It has a totally, totally different vibe from the other Acne stores in the city and feels almost a bit like thrifting. Great organization and emphasis on color coding and I'm always impressed by the range of different textiles and fabrics they have for sale.

The best is that everything is priced like a used Acne item in the states, but it is new! Despite the decent selection, they do not have everything from the last seasons, so if you're looking for something in particular, then you might be disappointed. Having said that: If you find a pair of last season's pink drihannas in a size 37, DM me :) PS. If you're also hitting up the Acne Archive in Copenhagen. The Stockholm one has less stock but better prices.

I have received some as gifts but had never visited the store itself until now. IMO this is a unique place in Sweden, or anywhere. There are two sewing machines right in the store, and everything is made in Sweden. The designs are delightful and the fabrics are workmanship are quality. Also, I was pleasantly surprised at the prices! The dollar is strong right now and these items were much less than I thought they would be. I bought a computer case, a makeup case, some dish towels and other gifts. Don't miss Hilda Hilda when shopping in Stockholm!

I fell in love with a striped sweater in this charming Söder boutique but sadly it did not love me back and refused to fit properly (persons of petite persuasion may often find this to be the case in Sweden, the smallest sizes are often not all that small.) However I did strike gold in my quest for traditional Swedish raggsockor (hand knit wool socks) and picked up a pair to give as a gift. And I ended up finding a pretty perfect white t-shirt for myself too! Their outwear selection should be noted; you can count on Stockholm having good choices when it comes to coats and Grandpa is no exception!

Emmaus is by far my number-one second-hand shopping stop in Stockholm. And that's not a statement…read moreto be taken lightly - I live on Södermalm, home of plenty of vintage and second-hand shops, and I visit them regularly. I am a total second-hand addict. Choose something with massive shoulder pads, call it vintage, and triple the price? No thanks. I prefer real second-hand - it's a treasure hunt of good deals. And Emmaus is the best! Why? For one, their selection is always changing. It's close to my work so sometimes I go there multiple days in a row and always see new things. It's also affordable. If you're shopping second hand then you don't want to end up paying a lot. Some shops on Södermalm, like Stadsmission by Nytorget, jack up the prices to ridiculous levels, but Emmaus has second-hand prices as they should be. You can easily get a great new dress for anything from 50 to 100 SEK - and sometimes they have sales where all dresses (for instance) are half off! The staff here do know their brands, so if you find something by a designer then it will typically reflect that in the price. But it will still be a great bargain! People are friendly here, and you can put an item on layaway for a day. Sometimes they even have 'parties' during the summer where they offer free snacks and have a DJ, which makes for a fun and unique thrifting experience. I always end up finding something here - a dress, a book I've been meaning to read, a gorgeous set of vintage tea cups, the Swedish game kubb, a new hat, beautiful t-strap heels. There's something for everyone if you just look!
