Reviews for Finland

Moda Aleksanteri is a surprisingly fresh fashion store being part in the Moda chain that used to be the dresser for older ladies... Anyhow, Moda Aleksanteri is a sort of a flagship store, located in the prime spot on Aleksanterinkatu in downtown Helsinki.

The selection is tilted heavily to 25-40 ... More >

Moko stocks everything and between for furnishing your home in Asian or traditional style. The place is fully loaded with small items, for example, statues of Buddhas, wooden Christmas pigs and candles. Ask the clerks for any Finnish specialties and make your friends envy.

Myymälä2 is a really strange shop, especially in Helsinki. Located in a basement on a more quiet part of a renown bar and art street, the shop is an tantalising mixture of a contemporary art gallery and a fashion shop.

Expect to find the unexpectable. The garments and the items sold here may be... More >

Naantali church is an old monastery church built on 1462. The bell tower is built much later on 1794-1797. The church is located on a hill between the Naantali city and the sea.

All items are lightweight, and a espresso cup weighs far less than the coffee held in the cup. The items look distinctly handmade -- yet the... More >

Back on the old days, Nanso was known to produce cheapish garments that were used by the elder folks. A few years ago they radically changed their course, hired Paola Suhonen to design bleeding edge clothes and now they are one of the most fashionable houses in Finland.

Their design shop is locat... More >

The entrance to Nicky & Nelly store is a bit understatement for the shop: it looks like any small boutique door, but the store expands behind corner into a huge space full of clothes, shoes and accessories for children.

Nicky & Nelly is a chain store, but I've never seem them having so much of st... More >

A former topmodel Nina Kurkinen (a frequent face, for example, in Lumene cosmetic ads) opened her shoes and boots store in Helsinki about a year ago. An ardent shoes freak herself, Nina has found an excellent selection of fashionable shoes.

The store is located on Bulevardi, a few blocks south fr... More >
