A day

A punny menu item

Moschino often features bears. I was never enamoured of bears when I was younger, but I love cute, cuddly depictions of them.

I loved that this second hand shop had a separate section of larger sizes. It’s the first time I have seen that. There has been a boom of pre-loved fashion in Stockholm over the past years. Not just charity shops, but also private consignment stores. They have only been for women and tend to smaller sizes. Swedes are generally tall and slim (which explains the predominance of those sizes in circulation in both the new and the resale market), but I have often felt sad that men and plus-size customers are not really catered for. This plus-size section was small, but hopefully it will grow.
