Carved in Blue Shops Amsterdam During Denim Days
Are you wondering what’s in store during DENIM DAYS in Amsterdam? Carved in Blue headed to the Netherlands early to check out some of our favorite denim stores. Shopping in Amsterdam is always an experience, while dodging bicycles and trams along crowded narrow cobbelstone streets. It is remarkable that many stores in Amsterdam have the mens collections on the ground floor and the womens is upstairs; it’s fine to get some extra steps while shopping!
Carved in Blue observations
- Denim is front and center in lifestyle collections, including accesssories from shoes to bags to hats.
- The difference is in the details from stitch, embroidery, wash and even merchandising display.
- Indigo knits are in every collection using various stitches, weights and washes.

Always a great mix of denim and sportswear. Excellent chambray dress made of TENCEL® branded lyocell fibers with frayed raw edge.
