Shop till you drop
Always Summer
At this delightful gift shop on Prins Hendrikstraat in The Hague’s charming Zeeheldenkwartier, you’re guaranteed to find something you love. From jewellery to tableware and from quirky postcards to full craft sets. And all of it comes with a meaningful, sustainable and passionate story behind it.
For anyone who could use a little sunshine
Always Summer is, as they beautifully put it themselves, “a celebration of craftsmanship, culture, and the power of handmade creations that bring meaning to your everyday life.” Every item you’ll find in this lovely boutique has that little something extra thanks to its unique details, personal attention and the story that lies behind it.
And bringing summer into your home (or into your mind!) doesn’t just happen through the wonderful products you can buy at Always Summer. You can also join one of their workshops in the cosy space at the back of the shop.
A bar we instantly fell in love with: the Charm Bar!
One of the things that completely won us over is the Charm Bar. At this four-metre-long bar, you can create your own piece of jewellery on the spot. Design your own piece, choose your beads, charms and pendants from the huge collection, and craft your very own bracelet, necklace or earrings. There are also ready-made chains you can build on — or you can start entirely from scratch. Just walk in, grab a seat at the bar and start designing! The tools are ready for you, and if you need a hand, the Always Summer team knows exactly what to do and will happily guide you.
Doe maar lokaal!
Eigenaresse Mien selecteert zelf de items die ze bij Always Summer verkoopt. Resultaat is een winkel vol creatieve spulletjes, deels van lokale Haagse makers maar ook van makers op de Filipijnen, waar Mien van oorsprong vandaan komt.
Eens per jaar gaat zij voor langere tijd naar deze eilandengroep om lokale ambachtslieden te bezoeken en nieuwe samenwerkingen aan te gaan. Samen maken ze daar weer unieke, traditionele en opvallende stukken voor in haar winkel. En met jouw aankoop in deze cadeauwinkel draag jij natuurlijk bij aan de financiering van deze lokale projecten en het creëren van duurzame werkgelegenheid voor getalenteerde Filipijnse makers.
With your Haagse Schatten gift card, you can also shop at Always Summer. And why not give the gift card to a friend, colleague, uncle, or aunt from The Hague? You can buy it in our webshop or stop by one of our treasures where you can purchase the physical gift card.
The best part is that every euro you spend on the card is guaranteed to support a local business in The Hague. This way, we can all continue enjoying the hotspots run by enthusiastic and dedicated entrepreneurs from The Hague. There are now over sixty The Hague treasures where you can redeem your card, so there’s something for everyone!
