Traveling to Amsterdam with kids? Here's an insider guide for what to do and where to go, tested by us and proven to be kid-friendly and cool.
Broer&Zus
Broer&Zus is a wonderful kid’s clothing shop here in Amsterdam that definitely comes recommended! They stocks a great selection of fantastic brands, which makes the shop irresistible to start with. But the best part for me is their own label! They have some great pieces for babies and little people, of great quality and lovely colours.
Their knitted wear is made of the softest alpaca wool, which is anti-allergic, doesn’t itch (I can still remember the worst itchy clothes from when I was a kid!) and is nice, warm and wonderful. The pieces are all made by hand in Peru in a workshop run just by women! I especially love the cardigans — they’re perfect for this time of year and have nice, vibrant colours.
The shirts, skirts and dresses are made of soft poplin cotton, so there’s no need to iron and they stay in excellent shape, and the cotton jersey pieces are lovely in their detailing, like stitching on the outside and little pockets.
Truly a brand to keep coming back to for great staples in your kids’ wardrobe!
Broer&Zus is located in the Jordaan here in Amsterdam and is worth checking out when you’re in town, but they also have a web shop and they ship internationally (just contact them for shipments outside the EU).

I have been a fan of this great Dutch label since they started. All my boys wear the shirts and trousers. Top quality & top design. My 2 year old looks fantastic in the blue one, collection 2004. My 6 year old only wants to wear B&Z shirts because it makes him look great. At the moment the purple poplin shirt fom the 2009 collection is his favorite.

I almost wish you had not written about this place as I sought it out and did some serious damage to the ole credit card. Thank goodness they were having a sale!!!! This place rocks – it is so rare to find a place where you love absolutely everything in the place. I picked up a pair the cutest boots here for the girls (they look like Shabbies!)
