Abercrombie & Fitch in Amsterdam! Less than 12 Days Before the Opening...

Walking by Leidsestraat 34 on a fine afternoon in Amsterdam.
We are now only less then two weeks away till the conclusion of store openings for 2012...the fantastic inauguration of Abercrombie & Fitch in the Netherlands! Addressed at in Amsterdam at Leidsestraat 34, this will mark the fourth dual A&F / abercrombie kids flagship store in the world. (PLEASE NOTE: While there is space in the building reserved for abercrombie kids, there will be no Kids merchandise on opening day). Merchandise shipments began arriving on November 23 and the staff has been working in full force for up to 24 hours in shifts to set up everything to perfection. As our A&F Amsterdam correspondent informed us, the elevator actually was unavailable when the shipments began arriving and the staff had to carry the goods up the stairs...exhausting stuff! What she also tells us: the interior is divine! And to top it all off, the staff has already gotten word that THE HOTTEST GUYS will, of course, be coming over the week leading up to the December 13 opening!

A wonderful reader of ours, Robin, was kind enough to share with us nice photos he took in Amsterdam on the afternoon of November 29...at the perfect time of the day capturing fully the exterior stonework renovations AND the beautiful illumination...









However, this is just a preview... View MORE exclusive images from the photo album of The Sitch on Fitch on Facebook (here)! Thanks to Robin, and everyone best not forget to mark your calendar for Thursday, December 13...

Tweet your FIERCE anticipation for A&F Amsterdam,
and we'll ReTweet your excitement...
