Shopping
The Pelican Studio is a store inspired by the eighties Miami vibe (think lots of pastel colours). The sickly sweet staircase is a great entrance to their huge collection of brands like Maison Kitsuné, Ami, ETQ, Norse Projects, Won Hundred and Samsoe & Samsoe. Regret not buying that cute dress? Don’t worry; The Pelican Studio also has an online shop.
