Die Kleiderei

It’s no surprise that Kleiderei itself is one of Lena‘s favourite places in Ehrenfeld. The idea behind the concept is that you can borrow garments until you’ve had enough of them and want to try something else. If, however, you develop an intimate relationship with a particular piece of clothing and don’t want to let go, you simply buy it. They all have prices marked on them. So it’s sort of a library with a shop built in. And Lena oversees around 1,500 individual garments, most of them second hand or vintage, but some from her own collection and from those of other young designers. All you have to do is become a member and then you can start borrowing to your heart’s content. Just like in a normal library.
