In Karlstad city centre you’ll find all the big, established Swedish retail brands like Lindex (women's wear), Åhléns (department store), all with their own stores. In the smaller stores and boutiques you’ll also find rising stars of the international and Swedish fashion scenes such as Odd Molly, Filippa K, Whyred, J. Lindberg, Nudie Jeans and Cheap Monday jeans. And as for legendary Swedish art glass, crystal and tableware, look no further than Kosta and Orrefors which you’ll find in stores on the streets that criss-cross Järnvägsgatan and Drottninggatan. Still in the city, you can also shop at "Mitt i City", "Duvanhuset", "15-huset", shopping centres that sell Swedish and international goods and products, as well as restaurants and cafés.
