Second-hand shopping can feel very overwhelming: the way most vintages stores – especially in Berlin – are stuffed with clothes of all kinds of different colors and fabrics... And the smell, oh the smell! Neuzwei Vintage Store is a very refreshing escape from ordinary second-hand shopping and a well-hidden germ in the more quiet part of hip Berlin-Neukölln.
You can pass by this small boutique without noticing it, that's how unobtrusively and elegantly it presents itself. Just like the owner Barbara Molnar. With her, there is no shame in endlessly browsing her carefully curated selection sorted by colors (ranging from cream white over dusty pink to burgundy red) and featuring some of the finest materials, such as cashmere, silk and wool. Everything has its price of course (coats come at 100€ onwards) but you won't regret the quality you buy.
This is a vintage store where you will want to touch (and even smell!) every single item and where you could find an outfit for the next big occasion, just like an everyday classic. Sizes range from 34 to 42, women only. Although everyone will feel cozy in one of these big, luxurious sweaters.
