Just back from Berlin, such an amazing city--I am dying to go back. Best shopping (and all around vibe frankly), was definitely in Mitte around a really tiny street called Mulackstrasse. Lots of great shops: Filippa K, Bless, this other little place called Shop..I dropped a ton of cash! There's a good round up of the area HERE.

I have to second Mulackstrasse - theres a really great store that carries Isabella Marant and cacharel among other labels, an apc boutique and a sweet little knitwear store called Lola something 'Lola Berlin' maybe ?

Quartier what's it's number has a really amazing beauty department not to mention the rest of the store..

hi!

I'm going to Berlin at the beginning of February and am sooo excited! I havent been before, and only really know about that city what ive read on here. I was wondering if anyone could recommend any good markets/ flea markets for cheap treasures, or good cheap vintage stores?

could anyone recommend any clubs or bars aswell? like kind of cool, quirky/ indie places.

thank you so much

I've only been to two markets in Berlin, I went to a turkish one with loads of cheap fabric (not something you'll be looking for to take back home), and a mixed market (eco food and clothing) at Kollwitz Platz (Prenzlauerberg).

Berlin is filled with bars and clubs.. My favorite one, Rio, is unfortunately closed (if anyone could recommend me a similar club for my next visit I'd be much obliged )

White Trash Fast Food is a bar/club institution, it's located on Schönhauser allee.. but there tends to be a lot of tourists there..

One place I wanted to go, but never got around to is the chocolate restaurant Fassbender & Rausch

Have fun, Berlin is an amazing town !

 

[BooBah]

thank you so much!

is that white trash place cool inside? what is it, like a bar/club thing?

also, why do u say the fabric is not the sort of thing you'd be looking to bring home? do you just mean its maybe impractical? i was quite excited about the textile market. do u recommend it?

 

[Hanne]

No problem

Is WTFF cool.. depends on your definition of cool..
Here's their homepage http://www.whitetrashfastfood.com/
Reviews here, here, here.. and there's lenty more where those reviews came from..

With regards to the textil market, yeah I was thinking it would be heavy and unpractical..
but if your interested it's located on Maybachufer and open Tue & Fri 12pm-6.30pm only.
The fabric is really cheap, and it's an entertaining place to spend an hour or two..

I went to Garage and it wasn't chic or vintage or anything like that at all, it was just crap and it smellt lite ****.

Is Garage really that bad?

Would love to get that question answered. I wanted to check this store out when I'm in Berlin next week and want to know if it's worth a visit.

*edit* Does anybody know some good second-hand shops?

 

[Juliax]

No, I dont buy in second hands shops, hopefully someone else from Berlin will help ya out.

I can answer this now: it didn't smell bad and they had a few cool items (a navy jacket with gold buttons, unfortunately way too big and 4 or 5 bags).
But if you want to dig through the store you should take some time.

how did you like it Panda?

Too late prolly lol
Anyways, yes there are a few.

I really LOVE the KaDeWe, with the Chanel and Dior Homme Boutique in it... Did the best shopping there.

 

[Juliax]

Glad to hear that. KaDeWe is definitely worth paying a visit, one of my fave stores too.
