First Leica Pop-up Store in Netherlands

Submitted by Double Negative on May 16, 2014 - 8:39am

Transcontinenta, the Leica importer for the Netherlands - is opening the country's first "pop-up store" (recall the one in the Burlington Arcade, London). It's located in a great area of one of our favorite cities - the Jordaan district in Amsterdam. This new Leica Pop-up store will be located at Eerste Boomdwaarsstraat 10. It will be (temporarily) open from June 10 through 30, 2014 from 10am to 6pm. More info in this post (in English) by Leica Netherlands. Let's hope that, like Burlington Arcade - it might stay permanently.

One bit of dubious distinction, as far as Leica is concerned, is this tidbit...
