Our local Goth guide, Key, took us to Mystica in Alexanderplatz. This location is about to move, so check the website for the new address (there are two stores).

A Steampunk jacket. The quality isn’t always tops, but prices are reasonable.

In any case, Berlin is not the place to buy Lolita dresses or Japanese Gothic/Visual wear. Here, you should go for old-school and deathrock clothing, such as these skeleton jackets.

I was impressed by the latex wear sold here — excellent craftsmanship and design. Clothing is also sold via their online store.

Now, let’s shop for J-pop. Hello Kitty lives near our Charlottenberg apartment in J-Store (10625 Charlottenburg, Berlin).

    Oooo! You should have included a photo of the gorgeous HayDee Sparks, the designer behind Savage-Store and the Savage-Wear latex label! (Extra goth points: she’s a live guitarist for In Strict Confidence!)

    Also, a music treasure-chest: the retail store for the influential German label Out Of Line! It’s located in Friedrichshain, at the Frankfurter Tor U-Bahn station: http://www.outofline.de/content/stores.htm
    I *always* stop to see what’s new!!

    We mustn’t forget the importance to guide for buying the fashion product. Here i am seeing many beautiful products which are too attractive and less expensive. Well these are won’t be the only brands or product we should buy I also know a fantastic relevant brand which is really splendid. I am saying about Hand Embroidered Dresses which are really interesting. When I see these outfits I get culturally enriching experience.
