Certainly you could say there are three different forms of vintage shopping: there’s flea markets and the ensuing reams of half-desirable wares, there’s those emporiums that neither care about selection nor the surging amounts of dusty apparel on display, and, finally, those stores which only care to provide the most select and earnestly fashionable clothing. XVII Store—pronounced “dix-sept”—is certainly the latter, dedicated to a solid policy of only stocking those clothes that are hard, if not impossible, to find around the cool-cannibalizing city. From Italian leather to French silk, the selection here puts all those frumpy post-war Berlin threads to shame.
