Really really affordable but I'm sure you compromise on the quality. This is my go to place when I need to buy something for one time wear or a quick fix and don't want to spend much money, ie accessories for a costume which is why I went the last time. This location is a bit messy but the staff is actually pretty nice and helpful.

I'm very glad this store is here. It's like the TJ Maxx" in the US. So many shoes and also a large…read morekitchen and home departement in the basement. It's a huge store with two or three lifts and large paskamers "fitting rooms". It's a bit busy and hectic compared to the one in Annapolis Maryland. In the heart of the tourist district by centraal station and Kalverstraat.

What a fun shop to browse through for stylish brands, apparel, shoes, accessories, kitchenware,…read morebathroom essentials , discounted suitcases for travelers, and more. My favorite part of the store is the third floor. TK Maxx is located right across the street from Bijienkorf, so if Bijienkorf is too high for your budget, or you just prefer shopping for better deals, then you can easily check them out near Amsterdam Central Station, and the Dam. Prices are extremely low, because everything is discounted at 60 percent of its retail price. Customer service is polite and professional. TK MAxx is equivalent to TJ Max and Ross in the states. So you might get a little thrill shopping in there, since prices are reasonably low.

A fashion company and fashion-label specializing in handprinted and hand-dyed clothing. Very…read moreexpensive, but a cool store to stop by and take a look (very small men's collection). You won't see colors or textures like this in many other places. In addition to clothing, they carry things for your house (bedspreads, cushions, etc). The bedspreads are fantastic but they cost almost $2000 Euro so I'll just be looking. I think this is a pretty unique store - although stores across the world carry People of the Labyrinths items, I think only in two stores (one in Amsterdam) can you see their entire collection in a single place. Worth a quick stop if you are in the area.

Cute little shop right near where the shopping street begins. Even then, it doesn't get very…read morecrowded. The best part - unique screen printed tees! I was told that the owner's girlfriend designs all the prints by hand. As such, they tend to be nothing else like you'll find in the city, which is good for your own unique identity. The quality is decent. The shop specializes in bags of all shapes and sizes and styles. My favorite was one that you hang on the side of your bike, but good enough to just carry around. Next to bags this is a good place to buy tee shirts. The range of sizes and colors is pretty nice for each design. Prices are average. I hope the design refreshes are frequent!

If you are looking for a local shop, this is the real deal! PARKARMA is owned by a local designer…read morethat in addition to her own collection offers an eclectic selection of hand-made goods from other artisans, from the Netherlands or around the globe. Common line is that all things in the shop are made in a responsible manner regarding both people and the environment. I have multiple T-shirts from PARKARMA printed in Amsterdam with water-based ink in organic cotton shirts. I got these for 20€ each which I consider to be a real bargain, and they are awesome. In addition, I have a "one-of-a-kind" backpack that you can fix on your bike as well. Really high quality. So in essence, if you are looking for original, unique, hand-made local gifts in Amsterdam, this place is a must!

It's like a Pier One and Home Goods store combined. Nice prices. I wish I had a car or I would…read morehave bought a few things for the house! Huge umbrellas for the garden caught my eye - except I don't have a garden. I also liked their closet and clothes storage solutions. A huge parking lot not far from the center of Delft. Also next to the Gamma and other places in the event they don't have what you need!

This place is so freaking cute it hurts my heart!…read more Unlike other Amsterdam knick knack stores like Pylones or Flying Tiger, Kitsch Kitchen seems to have a) less foot traffic, and b) somewhat of a unifying theme - an obsession with all things Mexico (but...why???). From colorful hand painted ceramic bowls to Dia de los Muertos style figurines, this place has got you covered. Its sections range from stationary to kitchenware to kids stuff to party supplies to furniture - really a dizzying array of things both practical and/or pretty. My favorites have got to be the vintage style posters and drawer liners by the meter - not like I purchased any of these, but looking through these colorful rows or patterns is so much fun! The upstairs is a whole outlet area with discounted stuff, some pretty good bargains to be had! If I ever need a piñata or a painted skull or knockoff Barbie doll clothes or a replica Acapulco chair, I know EXACTLY where to go now!

It might be impossible to be sad at Kitsch Kitchen…read more It is so bright, it'll knock the sads right out of you -- and leave you wanting more, more, more Dutch designs to fill your home, your mailbox, Christmas tree, gift list, kitchen, walls and heart. Luckily I was flying Easy Jet back, or I may have loaded up a trailer or a boat and floated myself back to London on a brightly colored ship with all the doo-dads. ALL OF THEM. Instead I bought a red rooster tape dispenser (10 euros) and a really cute mobile (for a baby boy). I even got 15 percent off the mobile because it was the only one left, and a display model. They offered this without any protestation from me! Great customer service. A very fun shop to pop into. Great to buy a few little things for kids back home, or a statement piece to remind you of the fabulous time you had in Amsterdam. Also, bright umbrellas -- you'll need one here, and in Europe.

The store has been here for quite a while now so I'm suprised it wasn't on Yelp yet. Project Suitcase is actually an online shop but has a pop-up store untill september (maybe longer). It is a nice little shop with a cool interior. Vintage furniture, rugs on the floor and pretty things everywhere. They sell clothing, shoes, bags and jewellry. Everything is very hipster, festival-style. Prices are not very high. I bough a very cool top today for 20 euros and I think that is a fine price. They do not have very many clothes but there is always something nice I think. Right now they sell some very cool galaxy print tops. The shops only accepts cash.
