Found in the Haarlemmerbuurt, an area known for its unique boutiques, Sukha Amsterdam stands out. This chic, all-white warehouse space is stocked with a carefully curated selection of fashion and lifestyle pieces, mostly Dutch-made and, where possible, sustainably sourced. The combination of beautiful and ethical seems to be working, with Sukha Amsterdam fast becoming a must-visit for the city’s stylish.

Poetry is woven into the fabric of the store (and literally written onto the walls and floor), complementing the overall fairytale-like ambience found in owner Irene Mertens’ serene shopping space. The stock changes as things come and go, with one-of-a-kind vintage items lying next to contemporary pieces from the store’s own label, Atelier Sukha. With such an alluring selection, shoppers are just as likely to come away with (or lust after) oversized wool blankets and silky scarves, as teapots or a rustic-luxe sofa.
