Shopping in Stockholm
The essence of Swedish fashion is simple, wearable looks with a high trend factor and at reasonable prices. The fact that fashion is one of the most popular forms of contemporary cultural expression is obvious in Stockholm’s prime fashion shopping districts.
Drottninggatan (map) in Stockholm is choc-a-bloc with small specialist shops, big stores like H&M and Zara, Swedish fashion brand stores and just about every type of retailer imaginable. Look out for Designtorget at Sergels Torg; it sells household design/functional objects mostly created by up and coming Nordic designers that you are unlikely to find anywhere else.
If you are more into high-end shopping you should really visit Biblioteksgatan (map), between the squares of Stureplan and Norrmalmstorg. Here you will find luxury brands like Gucci, Prada, Marc Jacobs, Michel Kors and much more. You will also find some Swedish fashion labels like Acne, Whyred, Hope and Tiger of Sweden. Near Norrmalmstorg, there's the flagship store of House of Dagmar as well.
NK – Nordiska Kompaniet
