Design Collective
Exhibiting in this Uptown boutique is a rite of passage for emerging local talent—our big find was St. Paul's Hackwith Design House and its balletic cotton dresses.

Finn Style
Fans of the now-famous website, which features home accessories by Finnish designers, will love this depot-size flagship store: Helsinki expat Elina Ruppert offers exclusive deals not available online, like steep discounts on Marimekko fabric remnants.

We could have spent days (weeks!) digging for treasures—art deco mirrors, 19th-century jelly cabinets and innumerable vintage maps—at this jam-packed two-level antiques emporium.
