world reviewer
An enormous retail store, with a presence in Helsinki equal to that of Harrods in London, you can buy everything here from a new pair of underwear to a new car. It is the oldest and biggest department store in Finland and is comprised of seven floors that promise to give you everything your pocket can pay out. A popular motto is “If they don't have it, you don't need it!”
The price range of merchandise varies but it is not impossible that while selecting your favorite foods, cosmetics, books, furniture and maybe an automobile or two, that you end up spending a small fortune. The luxe Finnish brand Aalto has absolutely gorgeous glass vases, but the price isn't as pretty.
