Nestled amongst the on-trend juice bars and artisanal burger joints of Amsterdam’s ever-up-and-coming Van Woustraat, there’s a wonderous haven of delicate, hand-made treats gathered from all across the globe.

Gathershop believes in the unique value of simple things and the recognition of thoughtful craftsmanship. It’s a concept store that provides an antidote to the commonplace of mass production, and it’s lust-worthy interior offers a unique feel of minimalism finished with the perfect sprinkling of industrial vibes.

From whimsical prints and dainty jewellery to swoon-worthy, cedar scented beard tonic, head to Gathershop Amsterdam to pick out the perfect gifts for the special people in your life. And, if the inspiring content doesn’t make it near impossible for you to tear yourself away, then chatting to warm, English-born shop owner, Jessica, certainly will. Be sure to ask her about any upcoming design workshops, which are regularly held in store, and don’t forget to have a peek upstairs at the changing shop-in-shop pop-up where you can currently find Amsterdam-based vintage brand, Rock On Vintage.

British expat who relocated to Amsterdam almost 4 years ago to study; the plan was to stick around for a year but I accidentally fell head over heels for this charming city and his irresistible charm. Peanut butter and IPAs make my world go round, my favourite Dutch word is handschoenen (gloves) – literally, hand shoes, and one time I auditioned to play a zombie extra in the movie, World War Z.
