Kiosk is a clothing-collective store housing only local designers who work in shifts at the store, allowing you to chat to them about their creations as you browse. Kiosk is located on Laugavegur, the street that best represents Nordic style, so make sure to roam around the area and look in on the shops, restaurants and bars.

This is the Icelandic clothing and home brand; think minimalist woollen jumpers, coats and hats. The clothes are made in the city and inspired by Iceland’s heritage. They have shops all around the centre of Reykjavík.

We want everything in this gallery-cum-shop full of ceramics. Stocked with high-quality products in pastel hues, one of our favourite brands is Day New, inspired by the country’s volcanic terrain.

If vintage is more your thing then head to Gyllti Koturinn for racks of shirts, jeans and retro dresses – you will lose hours here and want to buy everything.

One of the oldest record shops in town, 12 Tonar is a perennially popular location. More than just a shop, 12 Tonar is a great place to while away the hours browsing with a coffee in hand and reading old rock journals. In the summer they host live music in their lovely garden.
