T-Shirt Store, Virkesvägen 3


Published: 12 August 2009 12:05 CEST

The T-Shirt Store is one of the best places in SoFo for young hipsters to get unique and limited edition T-shirts.

The first T-Shirt Store opened in Malmö in 2006, and it became an overnight success. Now the brand is on its way to becoming a chain clothing store. The original concept was to provide young customers with creatively designed T-shirts that were unique but still at an affordable price.

At the fixed price of 279 kronor per tee, they’re a bit pricier than ones sold at H&M or Gina Tricot, but all shirts are made with 100 percent ecological cotton.

Looking beyond ecological cotton, the limited amounts of each T-shirt design makes them a more special purchase. The shop is also very interactive with customers and the public, allowing anyone to send ideas and designs to the website.

The best designs are chosen and then printed onto T-shirts. T-Shirt store also sells funky accessories, such as watches and sunglasses.

Opening hrs

M-F: 11-19

Sat: 11-17

Sun: 12-16

Price range: All T-shirts are 279 kr

Editor’s Pick: T-shirt design by Karolina Kling

Stockholm Open set to serve up a storm

The ATP Stockholm Open hits the Swedish capital on Saturday with international players vying for a piece of the €530,000 ($718,000) pie. Will it be a local Swede who takes out this year's title? The Local chats to the tournament organizer to find out more.

Stockholm Open set to serve up a storm

“All the sponsors, players and organizers are getting ready, I’m really excited,” tournament spokesman Christian Ahlqvist told The Local over the phone, with the sound of tennis balls thwacking around in the background.

Held inside Stockholm’s Royal Tennis Hall, the tournament has been played every year since 1969, attracting some of the biggest tennis names in Sweden and the world.

“All the big Swedish players have played in the Stockholm Open, Björn Borg, Mats Wilander. Former world number one Roger Federer won the title in 2010. We’ve had some really great players, its always been one of the tournaments to play in,” explained Ahlqvist.

Headlining this year’s contingent is Spanish world number four David Ferrer who is tipped to take home the trophy.

“Ferrer is coming from Shanghai, he’s a great player and he’s always performed very well here,” said Ahlqvist.

But if you thought it was a one horse race, think again. Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov and Polish giant Jerzy Janowicz (who is over two metres tall), both 22, are two young players looking to challenge Ferrer and show the tennis world that they belong at the top.

However the odds are against Sweden netting the championship. World number 444 Markus Eriksson is the only confirmed Swedish player so far, although more may find their way through in Friday’s final qualifications. But statistically, the odds aren’t historically in the Swedes’ favour, with the last winner, Thomas Johansson, in 2004.

A strong Swedish presence in the singles may be lacking, but the Swedish men are expected to do better in the doubles.

“Jonas Björkman is making a comeback in the doubles with one of the best doubles players in the world, Robert Lindstedt. So that will be interesting to see,” said Ahlqvist.

As for a tip for the winner, Ahlqvist likes world number 41 Jarkko Nieminen from Finland.

“Jarko is someone who’s been a bit on and off the court with injuries. He’s played here so many times before, he’s almost a Swede. Everyone would love to see him win one.”

Saturday marks the opening ceremony for the Open, which will be held on centre court and is free for everyone. The tournament begins on the same day, with the final scheduled for Sunday the 19th.
