I have always been a vintage fan, mostly for the pure pleasure of wearing something individual and interesting. When I moved to Berlin I quickly realized how everyone is after vintage here, probably to escape from all this mass produced fashions that fill our shops with boring collections and collaborations. Lately, finding genuine vintage stuff has become more of a challenge, especially in these last years when little shops are continuously raising their prices, and hundreds of online stores are throwing up all possible vintage items, just to be in step with time. With so many virtual vintage shops online it is now pretty hard to distinguish between those that are really good and those that are just a waste of time. Let me save some of your precious time today and tell you a good one, with low priced but high quality pieces: Kalinka.Vintage. This fresh new online shop was founded in Berlin only a few months ago by Anna Eimerl and Florian Wenningkamp, authors of the successful fashion blog KalinkaKalinka.de, and has quickly turned into one of the best platforms for online vintage shopping. You can find selected vintage pieces from all around the world, for both men and women, with a special focus on dresses, shoes and accessories from the 70’s to the 90’s. The price is definitely their strength, considering that all items cost less than 50 euros and can be shipped worldwide for just a bunch of Euros.

A new little store is opening on Saturday in the Bermuda triangle of Berlin fashion: Gormanstrasse, Münzstrasse and Steinstrasse. But for sure this shop is not there to impress with the newest designer stuff. XVII – dix-sept is a personal, unconventional fairy tale vintage closet presenting a delicate and constantly changing vintage collection alongside desired beautiful things keeping up the dialogue between style and attitude. Selected treasures from the 60’s to the 90’s with favoured items are presented in one place. More informations and the flyer of this vintage opening after the jump. Read on…
