I love nothing more than a busy, bustling city centre in any part of the world but now that I'm…read moreshoving a stroller the size of my very own private island (see: Bugaboo Buffalo...that name is no coincidence), I really don't have the patience for the crowds when I'm on a mission and there is a sale. (there is a sale, at this very minute, as I write this and wait for the shops to open). Located in Kamppi Centre it's a good distance from the tourists who fill the Kluuvi store. You can shop here in relative peace, with all things Marimekko packing a punch in a smaller shop than the flagship shop downtown. Major pro for me: children's collections available in the shop. A bit noisier so when my opinionated 7 month old has something to say, the insulation drowns the annoying sounds out. Polite but indifferent staff - downtown they're selling to tourists with lots of money to spend. Here they realize you're probably a regular ol' Helsinki-ite and none of us are rich so there's no reason for hard sales :) All around a well stocked, family-friendly one stop shop for basic needs (aka: clothes for me and the kidlet, bags, fabrics, and limited but nice home collections). I am a huge fan. We spend a lot of time here. I'd say more but like I said: They are having a sale! Gotta run!
