Hutspot may mean "thick stew" in Dutch, but we can be forgiven for thinking it means the new “hot spot” of shopping in Amsterdam.
A new store with a new concept: The promotion of up and coming creative talents by giving them their own space to sell their own products. With over 45 brands and always on the lookout for more; Hutspot is a definite destination if you’re looking for something different.
