Art, fashion & interior bij Blackbirds Amsterdam
With Blackbirds Amsterdam the ladies from vintage shops Feather & Cross vintage and iCatchy combined their talents! So here you will find some beautiful vintage items for sure! But also several handmade pieces, such as scarfs and poncho’s. The founders also invited other designers they like, so you will discover various great styles in clothing. From festival-like hats and crop tops, to a warm sweater from Noot! And of course, the festival-proof accessories also can’t be missed!
Next to clothing and accessories, Blackbirds Amsterdam also sells other original pieces. For example, the handmade pillows and stools from the brand Jan&Jacob. And drawings by Freshly Framed. And more beautiful stuff will follow.. so don’t hesitate to pay them a visit!
