Shopping the Helsinkian way

Iconic, unique and sustainable design, fashion and arts&crafts. Seasonal local delicacies, boutiques where you fall as much in love with the atmosphere as the personality behind the counter. Flea market chain stores, circular economy department in a shopping centre, antique shops with second hand design treasures.

Shopping in Helsinki, done the Helsinkian way, is more than just shopping. It’s about getting to know the culture, the people, the community. It’s about sustainability, originality and authenticity, just like Helsinki.
