The Gallery is also a completely new concept for the Netherlands, where visitors can find an attractive and unexpected mix of designer and lifestyle brands such as Ace&Tate, Skins Cosmetics, Smaak Amsterdam and Miccy's Jewelz on 3,000 m². Varying from a special selection of boutiques, lifestyle shops, coffee shops and pop-up stores, this revolutionary concept in the Dutch retail world makes it possible to create the intimate atmosphere so desired by consumers. A modern reinterpretation of a classic shopping street.
