Planning a shopping trip? Head to Stockholm. Due to increasing demand from Scandinavian and international jetsetters, the Swedish capital has seen the arrival of a number of peerless shopping destinations that offer designs from around the globe as well as native Nordic novelties. Mrs H, a luxurious “mini department store,” dishes a spot-on selection of Gibo, Eley Kishimoto, Orla Kiely, Sonia Rykiel, Cacharel, and Curious Colour; shoes from Sigerson Morrison and supercool Brit designer Olivia Morris ; as well as beauty products from Becca. (Drottning gatan 110, 113 60 Stockholm). Want to kit out your home to match your impeccable wardrobe? David Design‘s lifestyle shop will do the trick. Alongside this Swedish interior company’s own range of stylish furniture, customers can revel in fashion by Ivanahelsinki (Finnish label hailed as the new Marimekko), Paul and Joe, and Swedish designer Pia Wallen. (Nybro gatan 7, 114 34 Stockholm). Searching for international designer blockbuster stuff? Look no further than Natalie Schuterman (Grev Ture Gatan 1, 114 00 Stockholm), where Marc Jacob’s creations hang next to frocks by Chloe, Missoni, and Jil Sander. Our favourite shops listed above are only a fraction of what Stockholm has to offer, but they should already give you good reason to swiftly book your flight.
