In recent years, a number of Swedish fashion brands in the mid-price segment have enjoyed global success — to the extent that the Swedish look has become a well-recognized signature in the fashion world. When in Stockholm, many fashion fans and others take the advantage of visiting these brands in their original flagship stores, many of which are located in the fashion district around Nobis Hotel.
