I was never a huge fan of shopping in Amsterdam... until this weekend. I explored the 9 streets (9 straatjes) in the Jordaan for the first time with a group of friends and immediately fell in love. It's a West Village-esque area with really cute boutiques, specialty shops and cafes. I've been living in Amsterdam for 6 months now and didn't know this shopping haven existed until now -- totally appalled with myself.
During the shopping excursion, I discovered a Dutch handbag brand: Smaak. The bags are made with gorgeous, soft leather so light that I can carry it around all day without straining my shoulder/back.
