Our own review
PARELS vanDaan in Velp is a tiny attractive store, where you can buy mainly children's and women's clothing. Furthermore, the store is supplemented with various gift items. Many of these are made by local entrepreneurs. A store where you should stop in purely for these fun creations. If you are in the neighborhood recycling It's always nice to add this store to the itinerary, but especially don't get in the car especially for it. In fact, the average shopping time is at most 5 to 10 minutes.
"Nice local store that you should definitely pop into if you're on a clothing thrift tour or need to score a gift for someone. Otherwise, this is probably not something you need to go into anytime soon".
