Unique Fabric
Monday to Sunday, 11:00 am–10:00 pm
Walking down the streets of St Petersburg, people will see many unconventional outfits. People here don’t necessarily seek out certain brands or trends; they would rather create their own unique style. The city has many streetwear boutiques that feature local designers, one-of-a-kind outfits and many recommendations from in-house stylists.
Voyage! Voyage! is another stylish outlet, complete with a customised shopping experience. The designer dresses you can find here combine country-style floral patterns with leather belts and heavy boots – an unlikely, but effective combo. Keep an eye out for Chereshnya dresses; whilst they can be on the pricey side, most of them are one of a kind and a worthy investment for a fashion junkie.

Mint specialises in men’s fashion and brings together a collection of not only smart-casual but also practical outfits. Here you can find Scandinavian brands such as Han Kjøbenhavn and Our Legacy, as well as useful winter coats from Spiewak (always go for the warmest option in the Russian winter). Other recognisable brands include Red Wing Shoes and Eastpak backpacks.

As the brand’s aim states, these are dresses for the ‘cultured ladies’. The designs bring back the 1950s, with long skirts and floral patterns, yet they are not outdated. In fact, most Marmeladova dresses will fit right in when going for a street look and will be just as great as an evening outfit. The brand’s popularity only goes to prove that traditional designs are very much alive.
