The best fashion and gift stores Norrland

What could be more Swedish than a good meal at IKEA with meatballs and their famous sauce and a good elderflower juice! Haparanda-Tornio has the northernmost Ikea store! If you go there, you will see that everything is exactly as in France, from the products sold to the layout of the store... The concept has been completely imported! Perfect for a lunch break with the kids. If you are just a little hungry, you will also find hot-dogs or cinnamon pastries.

Since 1907, you can find in this beautiful shop almost all Lappish objects: tenn bracelets, silver jewellery, knives, slippers, fur articles... a lot of quality, and definitely enough to satisfy all tastes. The staff is listening, and will advise you at best. Ideal if you are looking for something very local for yourself or to give as a gift. If the gift does not please or does not fit, it is often possible to send it back for exchange.

Outlet store of the Naturkompaniet chain, you can find great quality brands such as Fjällräven, Haglöf, Arc'teryx, Patagonia, at great prices! Beware, the price of the basket can go up very quickly, but it is not rare to find the rare pearl, the opportunity to equip yourself with outdoor products if you continue your stay to the north for example. The shop is quite large and the choice is wide, from clothes to accessories and backpacks. To inform and advise you, smiling and competent staff.

The store may not look like much, but you'll find some real treasures to take back home. Of course, you'll have to sort through them, but you'll soon discover silver candlesticks, typical mugs, small pots and cookie tins... The best thing to do is to come in after the morning's arrival; don't come too late, the goodies go fast! A real must for bargain hunters and lovers of second-hand goods and garage sales.

This beautiful and warm store is full of traditional Lappish objects. The business has been handed down from mother to daughter for 50 years, and since then, you can find silver jewelry, reindeer leather purses, knives, gloves and mittens... So many handicrafts and more classic items that fill the shelves of this store to the brim. It's a good place to make original purchases, and maybe even some gifts! Not to be missed.

Several artists have gathered here to exhibit and offer you art objects born of their know-how: small wooden sculptures of local birds, jewellery, accessories made of leather, felt, tin(tenn in Swedish)... A pleasure for the eyes! If you wish to observe the techniques of the different craftsmen (or even participate!), contact the shop a little in advance and they will try to arrange something (small workshop, visit, demonstration...)
