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).

The store stocks cute and Western Goth goods. DJ SiSen got his PVC jumpsuit (worn in these photos) at Mystica.

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.

Mystica had a good selection of alternative brand shoes, like TUK.

Next, we went to Savage Store. Love their cute cat logo.

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

Probably the most famous Berlin Goth store is XtraX.

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.
