Shopping centers in Iceland - Malls in Iceland

Reykjavik may not sound as a likely place to shop for high fashion items or designer wear but the fact is that there is quite a good selection of high-quality fashion clothing and other exciting merchandise, from both sides of the Atlantic, to be found there. The standard of living is very high in Iceland and people want quality and are very fashion-conscious. There may even be some products that have not yet been introduced elsewhere, as some big manufacturers use the small but demanding Icelandic market for testing their new products. Look for world-known designer labels in clothing, shoes, giftware and spectacles, among other things.
