Schwarzhogerzeil
Located on one of the greatest little side-streets for shopping in Mitte - Mulack Strasse - you will find Schwarzhogerzeil, a gorgeous boutique run by the unassuming and charming Nicole Hogerzeil. There is a well-selected mix of International brands with hip local Berlin brands such as American Vintage, Isabel Marant, Sabrina Dehoff, Cacharel and Zucca - all of them feminine and quietly sexy, which is what this store is all about. They also recently launched a new store 'Blau' a few doors down that have more quirky brands and vintage pieces (look for the store with the blue floor).

Apartment
This store is so cool that there is actually no sign on the door and their entire ground floor is empty (unless its being used for an art show. Apartment store actually exists down a blink-and-you'll-miss-it spiral staircase. Once in the basement you will discover the mecca of directional, edgy, young and achingly hip brands for both women and men. The colour-palette of the clothes is predominantly black and grey in here, with the occasional dash of blue/red/gold/silver. Brands include Citadel, Tuesday Night Band Practice, Bernhard Wilhelm, Rick Owens, Vladimir Karaleev, Sansovino 6, MA+ and many more. If you love unusual cuts and materials and pride yourself on being a step ahead of the rest then this is the place for you - just be warned they are a little pricey.
