Haute Couture

The Netherlands is a truly cosmopolitan centre and this is reflected in the world class offerings from fashion designers. Top names as well as custom created haute couture is readily available in all of Holland’s major centres.

Although the country boasts many fashionable districts in the Hague, Amstersdam and Rotterdam, P.C. Hoofstraat is  probably Amsterdam’s most exclusive street for haute couture shopping in Holland. Here one can view and buy many international designs as well as local designs by such artists as Ronald Kolk. Ronald Kolk is an internationally renowned fashion designer who has worked with stars such as Bette Middler, Tina Turner, Grace Jones and The Pointer Sisters. Kolk is famous for using the best, most valuable fabrics and accessories available.

All of the top designers in the world have shops on this street and the prices to reflect brand name and quality. At the corners of Dam Square are Bijenkors and nearby Maison de Bonneterie. These department stores offer a range of shopping for home wares, toys, clothing and well, everything else you would normally find in a department store.

These are high quality products and again, the prices reflect this. Finally Kalverstraat also has a number of brand name shops and is also located off of Dam Square.
