My experience with this particular H&M is that it seems to be the one I come to when I need…read moresomething in Amsterdam that I forgot to pack. The first time around, it was pajama pants. Luckily, my hostel was just around the corner, so I stopped here, grabbed a pink pair of pants, and had something to sleep in the rest of my trip. Unfortunately, I knew nothing about European sizing at the time, so they ended up being way too big, but they got the job done. Next time around, my boyfriend forgot his sunglasses. No problem. We came here, he found a pair he liked for 5 euros, and we were out in a few minutes. Thanks H&M. You really help out when I'm in a bind.

Great company.... a lot of selection.... attention to detail..... and personal service. The only…read moredownsides the store is teaming with staff...... sometimes teaming with clientele...... and staff, at times, can seem chaotic. THE GOOD On a positive note, Simon. Snappy dresser, very knowledgeable (in a low key way), a wealth of information and is bluntly truthful (I love truthful). 'That's not the best choice for your body shape..... this is more flattering...... have you considered etc" THE NOT-SO-GOOD There's a female associate with long dark hair. they look Armenian / Persian. AVOID -- especially if you speak English. She speaks the language -- and countless times, I had to say "Say that again, please? / Say that again, please?" On top of that? she kept bringing wrong sizes, seemed COMPLETELY CONFUSED. Either her ears are filled with wax, she's hearing impaired or mentally retarded Just avoid at all costs SUMMARY Great experience, happy with purchases, just be careful with which associates choose.

There is far more or at least seems to be far more merchandise for women to choose from. It's a typical department store with a wide range of merchandise including some housewares. Like most department stores they usually have some kind of sale going on making them an even better choice for shopping for you clothing needs. There is another H & M just up the street if they're out of the item you're looking for.

The shop feels like spacious and well arranged. Changing room are nice and clean, easy to access. I do shop there quite often for both the nice casual clothes and the really nice atmosphere!! They have very often nice sales items. Central and in a very nice shopping side street.

I was looking for a replacement of my carry on bag. Ever since I bought it it has been bothering…read moreme. So one day I just browse the nice stores in 'de negen straatjes' area in Amsterdam and enter the Carhartt Store. First off, the staff was super friendly, non of that typical standoffish behaviour like 'I am better than you' or 'you probably not going to buy anything so I don't think I'll bother'. So that was a nice start. The store is laid out very openly and it's easy to have a complete overview of the range of products they have. After a walk around I noticed a bag that I liked and took it of the shelve and walked around with it a bit to see how it felt carrying it. The sales assistant was very friendly and asked if he could help, perhaps remove the filling from the bag or show me a different colour. I explained that I was browsing around and wasn't ready to make a decision about buying anything that day. No problem. About two weeks later I came back for the bag. Same happy greeting and happy chitchat with the guy on taking care of the store that morning. I told him I had come back for the bag. He had to smile and said something like that once you have had it in your hands, your mind has been made up.... Again very helpful service with a smile and a joke, I love it when people have a sense of humour and dare to use it at their jobs! Again he offered to show me different colours and even pulled out a catalogue to show me models they didn't have in the store but were no trouble to order so I could have a look. My mind, like he had said had been made up the first time I saw the bag, so I opted no to all his offers and proceeded to payment. As a nice surprise the bag turned out to be 10 Euros cheaper than advertised. Though Carhartt is certainly not a cheap store, I believe the workmanship on their products is very nice and quite importantly the sales person made it a joy to part with my money.... Would certainly go back for other stuff (saw this really nice sweater, which I'm sure is out of season by now lol). Also if you find yourself in the 'negen straatjes' area, have take your time to look around, you'll find very nice shops there away from all the huge H&M's and Zara's....

America Today is like the Dutch version of Abercrombie. This brand is totally inspired by…read moreAbercrombie's casual and sporty style. I think it's nice because it used to be very hard to get Abercrombie clothing here in the Netherlands, and America Today was very welcome with their comparable style. Nowadays you can get the real deal (Abercrombie) here in Amsterdam, but there are still many good reasons to go to America Today instead; - Prices for sure! America Today is a lot cheaper than Abercrombie. If your not a brandwhore and just care about the look, you better go to America Today. - Sizes for sure! America Today sizes aren't as tiny as the Abercrombie ones. - No queue to get in! - You don't want to support a brand that said; 'We don't want ugly or fat people in our clothing, we are only for the beautiful'. Well, these could be your good reasons to go to America today instead of Abercrombie :) The staff is also very friendly and helpful and the shop is nice and spacious and often there aren't to many people inside. Yesss, I'm a fan! (even though I also own Abercrombie :') lol )
