Rika
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Dutch women have a very distinctive style and no one encapsulates that better than Ulrika Lundgren. Her cult line, RIKA, consistently churns out timeless classics with surprising twists. Everything is functional and easy-going while remaining feminine with a bit of rock ‘n’ roll edge. Visit the boutique nestled amongst De 9 Straatjes on the Oude Spiegelstraat before popping into L’Etoile de Saint Honoré for a set of vintage LV luggage that would make Wes Anderson drool.
