Cool without even trying, Sweden’s capital is a picturesque setting with some incredible shopping.
Sture GallerianThis shopping gallery has 60 premium retailers, two nightclubs and the historic Sturebad spa. If you find yourself in Stockholm in the winter, come here for a reprieve from the snow without losing your shopping momentum. Grev Tureg 13A, 11446 Stockholm, +46 8 453 50 00.
Stockhome Simple, smart, colourful and packed with things you need and things you’ll just want. What’s even better is that it is really affordable with bits and pieces perfect for gifts, practical travel goods, fun stuff for kids, and chocolate and sweets galore. Sergelgången 9 111 57 Stockholm, +46 (0)8-20 06 90, www.stockhome.se.
AcneI wanted everything in this store! From the current collaboration range with Lanvin, to the perfect-fit boyfriend jeans and the effortlessly chic little black dresses. There is no doubt the Swedes do sophisticated-yet-uncomplicated fashion perfectly and Acne exemplifies this. Oh and if you get around to it, there are some über-fabulous pieces for the boys! Norrmalmstorg 2, 111 46 Stockholm, +46 8 611 64 11.
ModernityThere’s vintage and there’s fancy vintage and Modernity falls into the latter. It specialises in high-quality twentieth century vintage pieces – more investment buy territory than spontaneous purchase. The gallery is incredible and well worth a visit just to browse. Sibyllegatan 6, 114 42 Stockholm, +46 8 20 80 25.
