I spent a year in Finland in high school (a long time ago) and Helsinki had some great department stores downtown. Fun to just browse and see what appeals to you. There was a great glassware store too - iitala - where I got some gifts. I also got some black clogs that I wore for years and some fabric bags - a large tote and a quilted cross-body - and actually still have them. I don't remember what brands these were. Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brands-to-shop-for-while-traveling-in-europe#post-2053190 Thu, 15 Aug 2019 11:46:19 +0000 Anne 2053190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you!&nbsp; I am so excited about Paul Green shoes and lots of colorful sweaters!&nbsp; and Marimekko! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brands-to-shop-for-while-traveling-in-europe#post-2053124 Thu, 15 Aug 2019 00:48:26 +0000 The Cat 2053124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Traditional Russian shawls (often in thin wool or in silk &amp; wool) are beautiful, elegant and practical. They come in lots of colours and patterns. (Also perfect as gifts, if you know the receiver's favourite colours.) No particular brand recommended. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brands-to-shop-for-while-traveling-in-europe#post-2053119 Thu, 15 Aug 2019 00:33:31 +0000 annagybe 2053119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a nice hand knit scarf in Estonia at an artist’s market.<br /> ETA outside of Saint Petersburg in a Catherine Palace, where the Amber room is, I got an amazing amber bracelet from the gift shop<br /> ETA 2: Dansko isn’t made in Europe anymore, Sanitas are<br /> Cute Finnish shoes <a href="https://www.minnaparikka.com/global/" rel="nofollow">https://www.minnaparikka.com/global/</a><br /> Also in Finland I got the best shoe Inserts ever. They were filled with fir needles, and made your shoes smell nice &amp; the padding was good. Wish I could find them here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brands-to-shop-for-while-traveling-in-europe#post-2053117 Thu, 15 Aug 2019 00:25:24 +0000 SarahD8 2053117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In Finland there's Marimekko of course!</p> <p>I think where to go and what to look for depends entirely on your personal style and needs. I've bought hand-knit sweaters, amber jewelry, and painted clogs in Sweden, but I also have a real soft spot for this mid-range brand called Indiska which has boho, Indian-influenced clothes, not at all what you'd stereotypically associate with Scandinavia! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brands-to-shop-for-while-traveling-in-europe#post-2053110 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 21:56:24 +0000 Thea 2053110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ecco, Paul Green, Birkenstock - are cheaper in Germany than the US and they carry styles and colors I dont see here</p> <p>Haflinger boiled wool with cork soles house shoes are one of my favorite souvenirs - they are available in the US but better prices and designs in Germany </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brands-to-shop-for-while-traveling-in-europe#post-2053071 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 18:20:30 +0000 The Cat 2053071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Famous Danish shoe brands: Dansko, Ecco, Ilse Jacobsen.</p> <p>Famous Finnish shoe brand: Palmroth. </p> <p>For inexpensive, fun, colourful fashion shoes, visit Skopunkten (shops in Norway and Sweden). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brands-to-shop-for-while-traveling-in-europe#post-2053066 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 17:54:06 +0000 MsMary 2053066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One shop I always love to visit in Europe is O Bag. I don't know about Scandanavia but I know they have stores in Germany. Here is their U.S. website:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://obag.us.com/">https://obag.us.com/</a></p> <p>I also love Comptoir Des Cotonniers and I think they have stores in Germany. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brands-to-shop-for-while-traveling-in-europe#post-2053061 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 17:42:23 +0000 Anne 2053061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you!&nbsp; I am also hoping to get some shoes.&nbsp; Any suggestions there? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brands-to-shop-for-while-traveling-in-europe#post-2053056 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 17:10:35 +0000 The Cat 2053056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it depends on your personal taste and how much you want to spend. Here are some suggestions in different price ranges:</p> <p>● Fashion brands in Scandinavia (= Denmark, Norway, Sweden):<br /> Baum und Pferdgarten, Bruuns Bazaar, By Malene Birger, b.young, COS, Dale of Norway (traditional knitwear), Day Birger et Mikkelsen, Designers Remix, Filippa K, Fjällräven (functional outdoor clothes and equipment), Ganni, Gina Tricot, Gudrun Sjöden, Helly Hansen (outdoor clothing, sportswear and streetwear), H&amp;M Trend, InWear, Kari Traa (fashionable athletic wear), Mads Nørgaard, Munthe, Noa Noa, Oleana (colourful creative knitwear), Saint Tropez, Samsøe &amp; Samsøe, Vero Moda.<br /> (Haven't time to write a description of each of them, but recommend that you check them out on the internet. Check out the famous Finnish brand Marimekko, too.)</p> <p>● Jewellery:<br /> In Scandinavia, you will find large selections of high quality silver jewellery. (Famous Danish brand: Georg Jensen.) Finland is well-known for jewellery in interesting combinations of wood and metals. And in most of the countries you will be visiting you will probably see beautiful amber jewellery that is rare in many other parts of the world. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brands-to-shop-for-while-traveling-in-europe#post-2053055 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 16:59:10 +0000 rachylou 2053055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this magazine: <a href="https://oakthenordicjournal.com/category/design/" rel="nofollow">https://oakthenordicjournal.com/category/design/</a></p> <p>I’d probably go looking for places featured in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brands-to-shop-for-while-traveling-in-europe#post-2053036 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 15:44:29 +0000 Angie 2053036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are Scandinavian Fabbers here who I'm sure will chime in. I enjoyed the smaller Scandinavian stores in Sweden, and love COS.</p> <p>In Germany, I enjoy Stefanel and Claudia Strater.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm with <b>Shevia</b> and <b>Janet,</b> browse what comes your way, and bring back something special.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brands-to-shop-for-while-traveling-in-europe#post-2053027 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 15:01:39 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2053027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I would love to get up to the Baltic. I bet that will be an amazing cruise. One of these days we’ll get up there and see seals, Art Deco &amp; northern lights. </p> <p>Living in Germany, i don’t find German brands particularly affordable here, am curious what others will say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brands-to-shop-for-while-traveling-in-europe#post-2053011 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 13:54:51 +0000 Janet 2053011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that sounds amazing. I can’t offer any specifics in those countries, but I love simply seeing what I chance upon when I travel. I found some favorite things in Amsterdam and Paris that way. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brands-to-shop-for-while-traveling-in-europe#post-2052923 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 03:33:07 +0000 Jaime 2052923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds amazing! I am sure others will have great suggestions. I find it interesting to browse/shop in international chains in different countries to see the differences, but that is probably just my own quirk. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brands-to-shop-for-while-traveling-in-europe#post-2052907 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 01:39:58 +0000 Anne 2052907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband and I are taking a Baltic Cruise in a few weeks, and I am reminded of Angie's trips to Europe where she always comes home with great finds that can't be bought in the US.&nbsp; Can anyone suggest must-have brands in any of the following countries?</p> <p>Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, or Russia?</p> <p>Thanks!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
