If you are looking for a local shop, this is the real deal! PARKARMA is owned by a local designer that in addition to her own collection offers an eclectic selection of hand-made goods from other artisans, from the Netherlands or around the globe. Common line is that all things in the shop are made in a responsible manner regarding both people and the environment.
I have multiple T-shirts from PARKARMA printed in Amsterdam with water-based ink in organic cotton shirts. I got these for 20€ each which I consider to be a real bargain, and they are awesome. In addition, I have a "one-of-a-kind" backpack that you can fix on your bike as well. Really high quality.
So in essence, if you are looking for original, unique, hand-made local gifts in Amsterdam, this place is a must! read more
