Sukha Amsterdam: shopping at the Haarlemmerstraat

Sukha: concept store shopping in Amsterdam!

Sukha Amsterdam isย a concept store that makes you happy while shopping in Amsterdam. They have a beautiful selection of trendy clothes, goodies for your home and cute gifts. I hear you thinking… Sukha… odd name! Sukha means ‘joy of life’ in Sanskrit. That’s the language of Buddhist monks from India and Nepal. Sukha Amsterdam sells products from India, Nepal, Morocco, Peru, Indonesia and Holland. Shopping in Amsterdam at Sukha means buying products that are made with care for people and environment. Or they’re vintage or up cycled. Beside the Sukha Amsterdam label this concept stores sells known and less known designers. Mostly handmade and unique!ย Beside shopping in Amsterdamย Sukha is the perfect place to relax on a shopping spree withย a cup of coffee. I love, love, love their post cards with lovely quotes and small poems.ย Sukha Amsterdamย also sell them as a poem book.ย On Pinterest you can check out more cards!
