Anecdote settled into the Nine Streets

The Nine Streets is a popular shopping area in the heart of Amsterdam.  A must-go district for lovers of small independent boutiques, specialty shops and hip lunch spots.  Most of the tiny streets have names of animals, like the Wolvenstraat, meaning ‘Street of Wolfs’.  It’s exactly that street where I first met the love of my life.  Some things I’ll never forget..
In that same petite area, in a former garage, Dutch fashion brand Anecdote recently opened the doors of its first brand store.  Together with stylist Stella Willing the Anecdote team has transformed the dull space into a lovely and light shop.  A shop that breaths the freshness and softness of Anecdote as a contemporary label for women. 

Anecdote’s founder is Jet van Beuningen.  She has started her own fashion brand 4.5 years ago. 
A dream came true! 
Well, tell me Jet..
