RESTORED on the lively Haarlemmerstraat North of the city centre is a shop and atelier in one. They collect and sell unique products from talented young designers ranging from fashion, interiors to accessories. On their counter they also sell some of the funniest postcards I’ve ever seen. New talents get a platform to present their work to a wider public, and this sincere interest in people and their products is visible throughout the original and beautiful store. The products are manufactured with attention to detail and a focus on the handmade. Restored is an honest and straightforward place, where the rule of ‘quality over quantity’ still applies. n
