The historic Blaauwlakenblok or “blue cloth block” in this super curated store is a variation on the sky, navy, popcorn, indigo or tone. With this theme in mind, founder Robert Sillerman focuses on several different areas: blue artwork, vintage blue jeans and work clothes, and turquoise jewelry.

If you’ve ever seen photos of Socialite Penny Lane from the 1970s, it’s easy to imagine clothes in this selected store. Fragments of Boho Chanel and Burberry (the entire shelf is dedicated to the brand’s iconic trolls!) hang next to a shear-ground carpet jacket, silk scarf and flowing dress.

Founded in 1885, this multiple life flea market is the oldest market in the Netherlands.

The rumor was founded in 2011 and is actually two stores located in the same neighborhood. In between you will find clothes, jewelry and accessories dating back to the 1950s, but the store specializes in items from the 60s and 70s as well as leather goods. These products are spacious – leather bags, lined up with knee boots, and sunglasses drawers are just some reasons to stop.
