A High Concept Store in Amsterdam

September 20, 2012

Is Sukha the most beautiful interior store in Amsterdam? We think so; you might agree after a visit.

Irene Mertens is the owner and founder of Sukha, a home accessory and clothing store located on the popular Haarlemmerstraat in Amsterdam. Sukha means "happiness" in Sanskrit, and we agree that this store radiates a special kind of joy. Most of the products on offer are vintage or are made from recycled materials (including the products offered under the Sukha label). The store also prides itself in featuring goods responsibly produced under fair trade principles. For more information, go to Sukha.; to see recent photos from Desiree's recent visit, go to Vosges Paris.
