De Knopenwinkel (Button Shop) in Amsterdam.

Two stores in one: Pontifex sells candles – from simple candles for the dining table, to candles used for all manner of religious rituals. And Pontifex is also home to Amsterdam’s puppet doctor…

The store is known and loved for its ever-changing collection of shoes and boots from some of Europe’s top shoe designers and brands.

In what formerly was a French bonbons shop, Parisienne’s decor is reminiscent of a Victorian era boudoir. The boutique displays a tremendous collection of unique fashion accessories, including beautiful shawls and scarves, bejewelled evening bags, and handcrafted jewelry – all imported from France.
