Where to Find Luxury Goods in Berlin

Kaufhaus des Westens, known as KaDeWe by locals, is Berlin’s most iconic department store. The largest of its kind in Europe, spanning over 60,000 sq. meters (645,835 sq. feet) across eight floors, the shop specializes in luxury and high-end goods. Bowie lovers might also remember the store’s mention in his classic song, Where Are We Now, which has perhaps contributed to its popularity, as many as 50,000 people visit KaDeWe each day. High-end brands here include Yves Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, Mont Blanc, Cartier, Burberry, Rolex, Tiffany & Co, Prada, and many more. In addition to clothing and products for the home, the store contains multiple salons, restaurants, and a gorgeous rooftop garden atrium.

Fashion aficionados looking to splurge on local, Berlin-based designers have to head to Konk. The concept store houses beautifully hand-crafted goods from brands like Tiedeken and Boessert/Schorn to name a few, as they are focused on highlighting the best of Berlin’s independent fashion design scene. The shop’s interior also features furnishings by local craftsman, sporting work from Rainer Spehl. When it comes to shopping luxury and local, nothing beats Konk.

This makes each visit unique, with visitors promised a unique shopping experience each time they set foot in the light spacious store.
