Dutch people love to buy stuff with discount. Lots of discount. As we speak Digi E’s just got back from a shopping trip to outlet village Batavia Stad which celebrates its tenth anniversary this month. And we have to celebrate it with shopping money worth € 200.
Ten reasons to go to Batavia Stad:
1. Cool fashion brands for fine prices. Think of Ralph Lauren, Replay, Cold Method, Levi’s, Nike, Superdry and Matinique.
2. You can find Pioneer, Media Zone and Free Record shop, perfect to drop your BF while you’re shopping.
3. Hugo Boss. The BEST store in Batavia Stad. Digi E fell in love with a coat made from chinchilla fur…. No worries, she didn’t buy it.
4. Open seven days a week. It’s never closed.
5. You can eat the BEST Italian sandwiches in The Italian Lounge. Digi E. and her Mr. Big tasted the beef carpaccio sandwich with pine nuts, rocket and parmesan and the roasted salami/cheese sandwich. Delicious.
6. Cosy home stuff stores such as Home & Cook and Home Department Store.
7. A pancake house. And Ben & Jerry’s!
8. A beautiful statue of a dress in front of the Hugo Boss store and a few arty whales outside the Ralph Lauren store. Fashion and art = the perfect match.
9. Lots of cozy terraces to drink your coffee-to-go in the sunshine.
10. Arrive at home with a bag full of clothes and your pocket still full of money.
