Carla Palermo Amsterdam
A living room store
Carla Palermo had always dreamt of having her own clothing store, and after multiple years she managed to open her doors. The most unique part about her store is that she transformed her own living room with some friends into the store it is today.
It is located in the '9 straatjes' and is, if you ask me, by far the best store in the Jordaan. She mostly sells vintage items, which she's handpicked herself. When you walk inside the store you will be overloaded with different colors and patterns. Everything you see is unique and Carla will probably tell a story about where she found it. It feels super welcoming walking in the store, as Carla is for sure very kind and helping.
If you have a question she will get out of her way to try to help you find your unique item. When you've found something you adore, you will probably be a bit shocked when you look at the price. That is because she sells so many one-of-a-kind products for a very low price!
I'd say if you are shopping in the '9 straatjes' you should definitely stop here and have a look!
