In the Scottisch newspaper for your Sunday afternoon "Scotland on Sunday" a nice travel artivle on the do's and dont's in several European countries. As such also The Netherlands and of course als for a Scotsman visiting The Netherlands an appointment with Possen Fashion is a must.
"The Netherlands
What to avoid?
Wooden clogs (they look good on the locals, but you’ll never get the wear out of them in soggy Scotland) or tulip bulbs (unless you know what you’re doing, they’ll die in transit.)
What to take home?
Die Witte Tandenwinkel is an emporium dedicated to teeth, selling everything from ergonomically designed toothbrushes to designer pastes and molar-shaped clocks. It is a weird experience that might just cure your fear of dentists. Expect service with a smile. You can find it at Runstraat 5, Amsterdam.
Fashion-conscious parents flock to Oi Lilly stores throughout the Netherlands. The clothes are colourful and hardwearing and a timely reminder that fashionable kids’ gear needn’t cost a fortune.
For a totally new outfitting experience, visit Amsterdam designer Bas Possen. Step into his showroom or invite the travelling tailor to your home, office or hotel, let the fashion consultant do its work and marvel as your newly purchased, made-to-measure goods are delivered to your home within the month. The store keeps a record of your measurements so if you like your togs you can order from the comfort of your living room, safe in the knowledge that there will be no problem size-wise. Possen, Pilotenstraat 56, 1059 CR Amsterdam."
