OGÉR
Established in 1990 by Oger Lusink as the first luxury men’s fashion boutique on Amsterdam’s most prestigious shopping street, the store has recently been renovated, but the founder’s passion for quality and craftsmanship remains. The store is a beautiful backdrop for quietly luxurious Italian brands such as Corneliani and Santoni and an extensive collection of own-label basics, suits, accessories, home fragrance, and more.

Fabienne Chapot
What launched in 2006 as a leather wear label, has evolved into a colourful B Corp-certified Amsterdam lifestyle brand that also stocks women’s footwear, apparel and accessories. From feminine floral pintuck blouses and cosy pink apple-print pullovers to leopard kitten heels and metallic blue cut-out heart belts, if it’s fun, functional and feminine, it’s probably a Fabienne Chapot piece (available in sizes XXS to XXL).

Love Stories
Bored with only the ‘sporty spice’ or ‘tutu-romance’ options offered by the makers of traditional lingerie, former interior designer Marloes Hoedeman set out to design ‘lingerie as versatile as women are’. It’s all very feminine, playful, comfortable and a little sexy, but not overtly so. Think silky mint-coloured triangle bralettes with delicate eyelash lace trims and matching tanga briefs and sequined magenta camisoles with feather trims. The collection also includes swimwear, loungewear, sleepwear and accessories. Looking for a more everyday option? Head to the lingerie chain store, Hunkemöller, which was also originally founded in the Netherlands and has outposts in Amsterdam Noord, Zuid, West, Nieuw-West, Oost, Centrum and De Pijp.

Denim city
Holding its own as a denim hub alongside cities like Los Angeles and Tokyo, Amsterdam is the birthplace of denim brands like Kings of Indigo, G-Star Raw, Denham the Jeanmaker, and Tenue de Nîmes, making it a hotspot for denim lovers. The city’s jeans makers come alive during events like the Amsterdam Denim Days every October. And, with the world’s first Jean School at the House of Denim (do visit the adjacent Denim City store), it’s clear that Amsterdam is the perfect place to pick up a new pair of jeans.
Stieglitz
Discover the brighter side of Dutch fashion at the quirky brand boutique of this vibrant Dutch women’s fashion name. According to Vogue, the label ‘dominates Amsterdam’s street style’ with, amongst other things, its ‘Stieg Flares’ (bold flared leggings). Most of Stien Stieglis’ designs are inspired by her world travels. The brand’s eclectic clothing is aimed at ‘idiosyncratic women’ who aren’t afraid of colour and bold hand-painted patterns. There’s also a maternity line.
