    Sisu - Raikas Sokton
    by HORSCHECK
    The famous Finnish company Leaf Oy is based in Turku and produces all kind of sweets. One of them are sweet pastilles called Sisu. Sisu seems to be an untranslateable Finnish word, which refers to the Finnish courage.
    The pastilles are small, round and marked with an 'S'. They come in different taste versions; "Raikas Sokton" seems to be very popular.

    Countrymen Selling Vegetables

    The market place is the center of Turku. There is sold fish, fruits, vegetables and flowers. On summer afternoon the flie market is open. It is a common rendezvous place, too. People gather to have a cup of coffee and chatting. Almost all the busses go through the place.

    There are lots of restaurants, cafes and pubs around the market place. The information point for tourists is one quarter close to it.

    Yes, they have Stockmann also here in Turku, as usuak most of items are of quality here, prices can be good for value but sometimes expensive. Occasionally you can find great items on reduce price, which is great barging and tempting of buying.

    At the pedestrian street there is very nice shopping mall with few fashion stores, books, electronics etc. It is not very big one, but as it is located in the centre it is very comfortable to have such, especially during the long cold winter days when you do not really want to hang around outside too much.

    Element: Fashion with an edge

    Element is an extremely nice fashion shop for young adults in the middle of busy shopping district in Turku. The spacious store has both the bleeding edge Finnish designers and more established international labels, such as Adidas, DKNY, Ivana Helsinki, J. Lindeberg, Karhu Originals, Nudie Jeans, and Tiger of Sweden.

    The men fashion section is surprisingly large and well-stocked -- this is a really rare occurrence in Finnish fashion boutiques. The ladies section is, as usual, big enough to drain your wallet. The prices are high, but the garments are still affordable.

    Kansallinen Kirjakauppa: Well-stocked Bookshop
    nomadig
  • By nomadig on March 3, 2005
  • Turku Page by nomadig
  • Kansallinen Kirjakauppa operates three bookstores in Turku area. The biggest shop is located next to the market hall.

    The store is a fresh exception to the chained bookstore landscape in Finland. The selection is good and there is a decent English books section, too.

    The prices are par with the other bookstores, but during book bargain weeks (late January and early February) you can make real finds in store.

    c04 Luomus Oy: Buy fabulous Finnish design and handicraft
  • Updated By OrvokkiJupiter on May 28, 2008
  • Turku Page by OrvokkiJupiter
  • The company is founded by 4 talented young women. It's located near Kauppatori on the way to the Art Museum. They make and sell unique clothes mainly for women, some for babies and different sorts of hand bags. They also design and make clothes on request and fix your clothes if you need to. They're rather new company and haven't mastered their web page fully yet but you'll get the the idea of their products by visiting their web site. And of course don't miss the shop. I don't live in Turku anymore but whenever I pay a visit to the city I will definitely go to the shop.

    Local design and handicrafts. There's plenty.

    c04 Luomus Oy is very reasonably priced for example a hand-made and self designed and printed t-shirt costs 34€. Hand bags are abour 25€.

    Brothers: For men only

    Brothers storefront in
    Turku
    by nomadig
    A men only clothing shop is a rare sight in Finland, especially outside Helsinki. Turku's Hansa center can boast having one: Brothers. The store is part of a Swedish chain, and this outlet is their first ones in Finland.

    The garments are seemingly designed for young urban men that use some more money in clothing than in average. It is not a luxury store, though, and the price level is in par with H&M and Zara -- as well as the quality and the design of the items.
