While I was in Amsterdam I Googled, "unique shops". The Otherist came up in every list so I had to…read morestop by. I had walked by this shop so many times and ironically, on my first trip to Amsterdam I stayed two doors down from it and never noticed it. I mentioned this to the owner and he said, which I agree, that part of the charm of Amsterdam is there are so many things here that you are constantly stumbling upon amazing shops and more every time you walk down the street. He couldn't be more right. The shop itself is so unique. I knew immediately that I would love it here. The items were cool and not like anything else I'd find while shopping. It's definitely not a tourist shop; it's not a t-shirt or postcard sort of place, but it features really cool home decor items from suspended butterflies to really cool metal displays. I knew immediately I'd find so many things I'd love and couldn't bring back to the states with me because I'd have no room and I was right, but I did find some cool metal keys to bring with me to decorate in my living room. I asked the owner if they had a story to them and he replied, "everything has a story" and that was good enough for me.

Such an amazing store! Definitely one of my favorite in Amsterdam.

Exquisite pieces of decor, for sure! They have very "weird" pieces too, and simpler ones. For those who call themselves collectors, you might find something here for you. The displays are carefully curated so you should look carefully to appreciate everything!

I came here two years ago while on vacation and we bought some of my very favorite Christmas…read moredecorations here. An overstuffed santa and some adorable Christmas mugs with instrument-playing gnomes. What is better than that? It reminds me of a decor-focused Ikea. Reasonably priced plates, decor, and bright shopping area. I recently looked them up to see if they shipped internationally - and, boo - they don't. I would totally seek this place out again on our next visit.

They have a lot of high end beautiful home decor items and toys for kids. What stopped me in my…read moretracks when biking past them was a light up Hello Kitty lamp in the window. It was too pricey for my budget, but I did end up picking up some archival quality rubber stamp pads made in California for future stamping projects. But I was also tempted by their brightly colored espresso cups and all the toys and stuffed animals they had for kids. So much cute stuff!

I really cannot recommend a place more if you're looking for gifts and/our souvenirs (and even if you're local, it'd still be a great place to shop). The lady working was also very kind.
