Vintage Shopping on the Cheap! by ericaj.
For fashion lovers who LIVE for vintage clothes, Kleidermarkt is an age-old institution amongst Hamburg's young, flighty, and fashionable, and rarely fails to disappoint. If you're the type of person who takes your fashion inspiration not only (or not necessarily)from magazines, but from your own sense of fashion history and style, this is the vintage store for you. Kleidermarkt has clothing from eras ranging from the 1960's to present day, and is partcularly strong in dresses, and coats for both men and women. The shops are well organized, separated not only clothing catagory, but also by color. So you won't have to spend a lot of time searching for a mens printed summer shirt or a ladies short black dress.Normal operating hours from 10am-7pm Mon to Friday.The strongest departments in kleidermarkt stores are for coats, women's skirts and dresses, women's hats, and men's shirts. It's the kind of store where you can watch a vintage tv show, get an idea for a dress or men's coat you'd like to have, then you could stop at any one of the Kleidermarkts around town and would have about a 70% chance of finding what inspired you.
