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!

This whole place had a lot of different local items that were so cute. Some items included: jewelry, kitchen gadgets, backpacks/wallets, notebooks, cards, soaps, stuffed animals and other kids items. I picked up a handful of smaller items that didn't seem unreasonably priced. The woman working at the counter was also super cool, and asked if I wanted to get my items tax free and explained the process for when I go home and showed me details of how to do it.

I can be very picky about my backpacks, and I've tried a number of brands (Filson, Frost River,…read moreDuluth, and more). Right now, my go-to backpacks for exploring far off lands are the Sandqvist Forest Hike and a Sealand X DHL Stormers from South Africa. It's hard to explain, but both offer the right design combination of pockets, zippers, and compacity. My Forest Hike replaces another Sandqvist backpack that I carried for years on Earthwatch Expeditions. And just when I was planning the next one to the Mackenize Basin within the NWT, it gave out. As I happened to be in Stockholm around that time (off a nearby cruise ship), I was very pleased to be walking down the street and seeing the their Flagship Store and Studio. That visit was invaluable in trying on and picking my next Sundqvist backpack. I got to try it out in the Canadian wilderness for a solid 10 days and it performed like a champ. It has more capacity than my Sealand, which I use as more of a day pack. At the same time, more Sandqvist backpacks are tempting me, particularly anything in their Hike series. But alas, there is a difference between "need" and "want".

I always wanted to visit a Sandqvist store because I had only seen some of their products in other…read moredepartment stores. I finally got to and it was just lovely. Their bags may be more on the expensive side but that's because they will last you a long time. They are durable and stylish. Also the staff was SO friendly we talked for about 15 minutes and they told me the story behind Sandqvist which was really interesting. The store is also super modern and cool which I loved. If you're in Stockholm go to a Sandqvist store! It's a Swedish company, Swedish design and it's great!

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!
