Shopping reviews

Sokos department store offers the best shopping experience under one roof in Joensuu. Mostly because it is the only real department store in the town. I personally can't consider Anttila or Citymarket as a department store...

Stanford Shopping Center is a collection of upscale boutiques and department stores. The center hosts four giants: Macy's, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's and Neiman Marcus. As these name implies, shopping trips here can drain your wallet very effectively.

Steve Madden designs fancy, colourful shoes, bags and garments for her. There are a handful of items for him, too, but they are in so tiny minority that let's not discuss them here.

You either love or hate the design, these items are not for everyone. It is also a blessing as you do not encounter... More >
