Oh my word, what a find, I wanted to stay there for hours just looking at things that I never knew I wanted before, sadly I was short of time so only bought a couple of packs of napkins, but next time...

It is wonderful!! If I'm not careful my kitchen will look like the shop! Smile

It’s a fantastic shop! I don’t live near one but whenever I am, I could buy the whole place up

IcedPurple · 09/07/2021 22:57

It's a great shop and I have to be very disciplined not to load up my basket with stuff I had no idea I needed!

Though I must say all the little stories about the fictitious Sostrene Grene are hilarious in a twee sort of way. "The sisters love to have fresh flowers in vases around the room." Kind of a corny Danish #pippatips.

Drives me bonkers that they don’t do online!

Spudina · 09/07/2021 23:15

Love it!!!

HollowTalk · 09/07/2021 23:24

Why don't they sell online? That's crazy! Just trying to imagine them telling the panel on Dragons' Den that they don't do online sales.

Oh, I've never heard of them. Stuff looks lovely but I can't find where my nearest one is - it keeps saying Helsinki? Which seems slightly too far for a shopping trip for stuff I, probably, don't need.

Salty licorice drop sweets. Candle holders. Any kind of paper for party cups/ containers.
Love Sostrene Green!

I don't think they have them down south 😞. I've just looked again and it's only lists Nottingham and Manchester. Now I'm sad.

The sour cream and dill long crisps are delicious.

You get Flying Tiger though!

Don’t seem to be any shops in Scotland, but they are in Northern Ireland, and I’m going there in August! Hurray!

supermodel · 10/07/2021 00:12

Looks lovely.

Vikingintraining · 10/07/2021 00:18

I adore this shop, my home is basically a replica of their range Smile There are only a few stores in the UK at the moment, hopefully they expand and spread. In the Nordics they are on every high street.

TonytheDog · 10/07/2021 00:19

kottbullar I know but Sostrene Grene looks so lovely!

CliffsofMohair · 10/07/2021 00:20

In Rep of Ireland also in case anyone needs something to do after their 5 day isolation…

BarbaraofSeville · 10/07/2021 04:18

How refreshing that they've opened shops outside London first.

So sick of everything being in London and the rest of the country ignored. Looking at you, Uniqlo with loads of shops in London and none elsewhere except for one in Manchester. Shopping online for clothes doesn't really work most of the time.

JMAngel1 · 10/07/2021 06:51

Ooh never heard of it but website looks good
I can get to Altrincham in 15 minutes Grin

HoppyHop · 10/07/2021 16:32

There is one in the Grosvenor centre, Chester. I love it Smile

Cocolapew · 10/07/2021 16:45

I got the best ever pair of sunglasses from here a few years ago and lost them last year. Im still sad Sad

Pieceofpurplesky · 10/07/2021 16:51

I love it. Lucky to live near chester. At Christmas it's even better!

SicParvisMagna · 10/07/2021 18:27

I first discovered them on a trip to Nottingham, Lovely little shop. Sadly living down south it's actually quicker for me to jump on a flight to Amsterdam, than it is to go up north to visit their stores :( (I'm only 45 minutes from Stansted, and it's a 45 minute flight to Amsterdam). I made sure to visit their store both there and in Oslo. Oslo alone had about 5 stores to chose from. The UK has about 3 in total. I like to torture myself by following them on Instagram lol. The "Anna and Clara" centric posts crack me up though.
