COUNTRY HOUSE, ROTTERDAM FALL 2012

I love to show you these pics of Country House, Rotterdam filled with the Fall/Winter 2012.

My first visit was in March this year and I was happy to see that the store still looks like a million dollar.

The collection is hand picked by Harry Polderman, like there are some beautiful pieces from Nigel Cabourn, woolen shirts from Pendleton, 30th anniversary jackets from Stone Island a range of Buttero shoes and much much more. If you tell the team, Chad sended you......., you will get a great cup of coffee.

STORE LOCATOR - THE GLOBE, ARNHEM

"THE GLOBE - AUTHENTIC & ORIGINAL SINCE 1969"

The Globe is located in a historic building from the 15th century, the oldest stone building in Arnhem.

When I entered the store I bumped into the owner Harry Wonder, his eyes filled with passion for authentic brands. I asked him when and how he started the business. He told me that he never finished school, and learned by doing. He sets himself a goal of learning 3 new things a day and even now this is his motto. Before he started the Globe he was a vintage dealer, but then in Italy he saw for the very first time a brand called Stone Island and that was 30 years ago. Harry was the very first dealer of Stone Island in the Netherlands. Bringing the brand to Holland changed his whole world.  He changed his way of working from vintage dealer into a store concept with authentic and original brands not just casuals but also outdoor gear. Even now you see still both influences, brands like Pendleton, Filson, Lee 101, Grenson going hand in hand with brands like Fjallraven and Patagonia. 

For a true shopping experience visit Harry and his team Anton & Ricardo @ the Rijnstraat, Arnhem.
