Vlieger
Since 1869 this well-organised two-storey shop has been supplying upmarket paper to Amsterdam: Egyptian papyrus; lush handmade papers from Asia and Central America; papers inlaid with flower petals or bamboo; and paper textured to look like snake skin. They also sell indestructible Freitag messenger bags (to safely tote away all that paper on your bike?).

La Diablita
You've got a night on the town and need sparkly, spangly jewellery, gold sandals, yellow shoes or pink high tops? This tiny storefront off the Haarlemmerdijk can help you. You say you need the same for your young daughter? They have a small selection of those too.

Amsterdam Watch Company
An intimate team of watch makers restores old watches (postwar to mid-1970s). The company is also the exclusive Amsterdam dealer of such brands as Germany’s D Dornblüth and the Dutch Christiaan van der Klaauw, who makes fewer than 200 watches a year.

De Ode
Here you can find a final resting place with a difference: a bookcase that converts into a coffin when you join the library in the sky, or a coffin on wheels with bicycle towbar – perfect for pedalling friends to their last bike rack.

Fates
Modern fashion accessories made of natural materials, from fair-trade studios in India and Southeast Asia. We were particularly taken with the groovy tulip-shaped bags from Bali, diaphanous silk shawls and fresh-water pearl necklaces.

Brilmuseum
This long-standing spectacles shop is an institution, both for its wares and for its presentation. You can take in the 700-year history of eyeglasses as well as a very 21st-century collection, some of which is pretty outlandish.
