The Reykjavík Grapevine Best of Reykjavík 2018 38 Can't catch the Northern Lights? Don't worry, we have already done it for you! www.aurorareykjavik.is MULTIMEDIA EXHIBITION TOUR BOOKING MOVIE THEATER GIFT SHOP OPEN DAILY 09:00 - 21:00 Grandagarður 2 | 101 Reykjavík Tel: +354 780 4500 Bus 14 | free parking 10% OFF ENTRANCE FEE www.aurorareykjavik.is Best Jewellery Shop Orrifinn Skólavörðustígur 17b The owners Helga and Orri make all the jewellery themselves in their shop/lab- oratory. After the eye-catching works in the window have piqued your curiosity, step into their sumptuous, dimly-lit basement store and take a peek. The detailed, stylish and carefully crafted unisex pieces have a raw edge to them that gives them an exotic sensuality, and makes them timeless but still fresh. Not the most classic and obvious choice, but the coolest one for sure. Runners Up Aurum Bankastræti 4 A classic of the local design scene, Aurum is one of the most popular jewellery shops in town. They’ve been crafting and importing jewellery for years—if you’re looking for a simple, timeless piece, they certainly have it, but check out their limited editions in the window for a fresher take on things. Aftur Laugavegur 39 Technically, Aftur mostly sells sustain- able, recycled clothes for the fash- ion-goth crowd, but it’s one of the few places in town where you can still find a proper kría, the typical arctic tern necklace that all Icelandic women own. Pick a black one and take a fun memory away with you. Previous Winners None: new category! Hidden Gem Hyalin Reykjavík Hverfisgata 35 This tiny French Deli on Hverfisgata is a pleasure for the eyes and the senses, with their dark blue walls and white accents reminiscent of the Mediterra- nean. All their products are imported from France, from their delicious chocolate in retro packages to shiny oil bottles, gleaming jars of honey, and pungent goats cheese. You might be tempted to buy the entire store at once, but don’t rush: the lovely couple at the counter will always welcome you back with a friendly smile. Runners Up Hertex Charity Store Garðastræti 6 Although slightly shabbier than the average second-hand store, this little Salvation Army outlet always has something interesting to offer. It might be more oriented to the older crowd, but nothing beats their retro pow- er-shoulder jackets and timeless coats, especially for the price. Systrasamlagið Óðinsgata 1 This little hidden gem has become a favourite among the vegan crowd, and with good reason: their morning bowls are especially tasty, with fresh and dried fruits and almond milk on the side. You can find vitamins and boosts in here too, as well as yoga and medita- tion classes. All in all, a great alternative to the usual hip Reykjavík café. Previous Winners None: new category! Vík Prjónsdóttir Scarf Vik Prjonsdottir is a fashion house mak- ing unusual, distinctive scarves from ma- chine-knitted Icelandic wool. They come in various shapes, colours and sizes, from the popular “Healing Hands” design, to its larger sibling, “The W ing”, to cheery woollen hats and warm blankets in a sim- ilar vein. There’s also a double-hooded “Twosome Blanket” for people who can’t stand to be more than a few inches away from each other. JR Buy Shit: Weatherproof Edition 66°NORTH W orkman Hat Everyone from rural farmers to down- town fuckboys rep’ 66°NORTH. W hile their winter parkas are beautiful, they also come in at anywhere between 70,000 and 150,000 ISK— not really a casual buy. Another option? 66°NORTH’s workman hats are just as iconic, and cost only 3,400 ISK each. Next to a lopapeysa, these knit- ted beanies are without a doubt the most Icelandic thing you can put on your body. Walk around Reykjavík in one and you’ll blend in like a local, ‘cause who wants to look like a tourist, right? 66°NORTH has stores all around Iceland but the most central is at Bankastræti 5. HJC Reykjavík Raincoats If Chicago is the windy city, then perhaps Reykjavík should be called the rainy one. Don’t worry though. Reykjavík Raincoats have you covered— literally. Their top- pers are slick, durable and stylish. In- spired by 1970s fisherman’s coats, they’ve got rubberized cotton double-stitched seams and welding on the inside, so they’ll protect you no matter what. You can buy them with or without lining at Epal Harpa, Design Studio & Showroom at Vítastígur 6, Keflavík Airport Fashion Store, and online. HJC
