Fashion Store

This building used to be a high-end fashion store "Maison de Bonneterie". The Amsterdam store was founded in 1889 and opened in 1909 in a Parisian style building.The interior was magnificent with a round stair to the top. A first for Amsterdam was the "showcase" behind the window, the shop"-window". In 2014 it was closed and now it houses another "fashion brand" with two capitals.....

  1. I bet they had some wonderful displays in those big shop windows! When I was little, people spent a lot of time "window shopping" in Windows like those, admiring things you could never buy.

  9. It is a lovely building - I do wonder what will happen to these beautiful buildings if these large stores carry on closing down, which is what they are doing here, due to people buying their goods on the internet.
