Second hand designer stores for men in Berlin?
After living here quite some time I'm still struggling with this as I maybe just don't know where to look and most of it seems to be mainly for women/gender-neutral or just boring vintage for men (NOT looking for that). And once I manage to find something it will be just the most typical CDG or your name it.
Random list of designers/brands Im after for the reference:
Per Götesson, Sunnei, Fumito Ganryu, Kiko Kostadinov, Vitelli, Heliot Emil, Toga, Craig Green, Ranra / Arnar Mar Jonsson, Yang Li, Sulvam, Engineered Garments, Marine Serre, Ahluwalia,
I am aware of the following stores:
Final Layer, Neuzwei, Ironic Gallery, Wsiura, The Good Store,
I do realize I could be in the wrong city with my interests, but lets give it one last try for my last 2 months here as Berlin is a huge place so you never know. Thanks!
honestly you're not wrong that Berlin is tough for this specific taste, but there's a couple spots you might've missed. check out Voo Store in Kreuzberg - they carry new independent designers like Sunnei and sometimes have second hand pieces mixed in from their own archive sales, though you gotta ask at the counter what they've got in the back. for second hand specifically, try Picknweight on Torstraße, they rotate stock fast and I've seen Kiko and Engineered Garments there but it's hit or miss. also, don't sleep on the flea market at Mauerpark on Sundays - there's this one guy near the back who's always got random Vitelli and Heliot Emil pieces from the last few seasons, just gotta dig a bit.
You might want to try the vintage section at The Barn on Mulackstraße. They're known for their coffee but have a rotating rack of curated second hand stuff in the back room, and I've spotted Engineered Garments and Craig Green there before. The selection is small but they're not just stocking the usual CDG or Raf.
Also, check out the monthly Neukölln flea market at Maybachufer on Sundays. There's a vendor who sets up near the bridge with a rack of mostly menswear from the last five years or so, and I've picked up a Yang Li piece there for under €50. It's a gamble on timing though, they're not there every week.
have you checked out the basement at Garage on Warschauer? they mix in some newer indie stuff with the secondhand racks, saw a Sulvam jacket there last month. not a dedicated spot but worth a look.
What is the correct spelling for a street name that appears differently on multiple signs in Charlottenburg?
Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.
if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point
honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
