If you’re looking for a shopping experience that’s as fun and unique as the clothing you buy, Berlin is the place to be.
It’s no secret that Germany is a powerhouse in fashion. But with so many great stores to choose from, it can be hard to know where to start! Beyond the designer labels, Berlin has some of the best concept stores and local fashion houses that are worth checking out. Here’s our list of the best shopping experiences in this German city and some concepts you should keep an eye out for.
Voo Store
In the heart of Berlin, Voo Store is a culturally empowered and creatively driven fashion and design concept place. It is a socially energised, ambitious project located in the centre of Berlin Kreuzberg on the ground floor of a former locksmith. The street on which the business is located continues to be associated with its distinct and progressive approach to current fashion.
Voo Store is an excursion in modern design, artwork, and the potential of luxury retail, interpreting a personal vision of Berlin through a meticulous selection of local and international designers and items. The store’s seasonal presentations are reinforced by a backbone of carryover favourites and masterpieces, made more special by an in-house café with a range of specialty coffee as well as a selection of fresh-baked goodies.

Address: Oranienstraße 24, 10999 Berlin, Germany
Studio183
Allow us to introduce you to STUDIO 183. This independent retail platform represents a constantly changing roster of local and international designers and artists.

Studio183 debuted as a pop-up shop but has since become a permanent presence in Bikini Berlin. Unlike other stores, both emerging and known designers have their own rail. And above each one is a sign with the label’s name and a short informative text. This provides the labels with an excellent opportunity to present their collections to a diverse audience in the greatest company possible alongside other ambitious creatives.
