I really like flea markets. And secondhand stores. My mom is a treasure hunter and antiques lover…read more I grew up scouring American flea markets and thrift shops as a child and the love of the hunt has stayed with me. This is a great flea market in a beautiful location next to the seaside. The new market hall here is wonderful for foods ranging from ready-made to fresh produce, meats and fish, and sweets and coffee. The flea market itself is huge by city standards and heavy on womens' clothing, handbags, and knick-knacks. I have never seen many large items like furniture here but household goods abound. Comic books, records, jewelry, antique dishware...you name it, it's probably here. This is my favorite flea market: open air (fresh, seaside open air), great location, easy to get to by transit or foot, and rooted by a great place for food and drink. This is an activity that is easy to make a whole afternoon out of. Today's finds included baby clothes for .20 a piece, games for my classroom at around €2 apiece, and very expensive barely-used infant gear for about 1/20 of the retail price. There are a lot of great handbag deals on genuine and knock-off designer pieces if you're into that sort of thing. And I'm not talking about Chinatown type of stuff. I'm talking about the real deal.

I guess it feels more like a Walmart or a Big Lots. We had stopped by to grab some socks. Some of the brands seemed a bit sus like "fake" Pumas but otherwise it was fine. They didn't appear to have self checkout so we had to go to the cashier for that.

For a decade I have been visiting this location, slowly acquiring birds. When trying to decide which bird to purchase an associate pulled out several from the case and several not on display. This was very kind and tempting! Value is what you make it. This store also carries full line of Fiskars products. New for me was the cast iron cookware. We enjoyed our visit very much.

This is the place to be for fans of Finnish design. At the old Arabia factory in Arabia (yes, the…read morearea is named after the company) you find outlet stores of the most important and well known Finnish design brands. Since iittala, Fiskars, Arabia and Hackmann belong to the same company you can find all their products in the shop right at the entrance of the building. They have quite good offers. Also take a look at the shelf with the second class products. They have small mistakes (that you can barely see) and are reduced dramatically. If you don't find anything here, continue to one of the other shops that are in the building. Browse through the Pentik shop. Next to the café in the middle of the center you find a shop where you can take a look at design products from smaller brands. This place is worth a visit. You also easily get there with public transport with tram line 6 or bus number 71. The center is open every day from 10 and stays open till 20.00 during the week and till 16.00 on the weekend.

Three years later I'm finally back and so looking forward to visiting the Marimekko factory outlet!…read moreSo. very. disappointed. The store area is about 1/3 the size from when I first visited, the selection very limited and so are the sizes. Not to mention the prices are much higher, only 30% off the regular prices in general. Half the shop is now designated to the current collection, ie no reduced prices at all and the same clothes and accessories you'll find in the regular shops in Helsinki. When we visit the outlet store certainly has more staff than customers and there is a certain feel of desolation in the air. I may have bought something, but not at all for the prices I had expected. It feels awful to bump down the 5 star rating to 2 star, but apparently, what a difference 3 years make...

I love their selection of adorable children's clothes, toys, and accessories. I don't know how they squeeze so many treasures and treats for little people of all ages into such a cozy little shop. I can say this: they have a great musical instrument selection for infants/toddlers (their high-quality wooden maracas have saved our lives by soothing our baby boy when nothing else would), Jellycat stuffed toys (a huge favorite in the US and hard to find here), and great sales on their very nice and very unique children's and baby's clothes. I can't walk in without buying something. Plenty of room for prams in the front entrance even if it doesn't look like it!
