Quintessential Swedish fashion at Acne

Noteworthy for: Acne's flagship store is located in the old bank building where robbers took hostages in 1973 and sparked the term 'Stockholm Syndrome'.

Word to the wise: Compared to other high-fashion brands, Acne's vanguard footwear is rather well-priced.

End your search for the perfect pair of jeans at Acne, a Swedish brand well known for their ability to perfectly craft denim. The brand, whose name means 'Ambition to Create Novel Expressions', is popular among all ages, but skews toward those adventurous enough to wear Acne's exaggerated shapes.

Its flagship store is a simple and bright space that is centrally located on Norrmalmstorg. Spotlights hang above the expensive clothes, while contemporary art work adorns the walls.
