Luxus International

Luxus calls your attention with its postcard towers and storefront sale backets; the shop itself seems to overflow with the creative energy so emblematic of Europe's "hottest city," and provides a space for local artists who as of yet can't afford to open up their own. Favorites include breakfast trays by Berliner Toechter and shirts by Volksmarke, but you can also get a keyboard ring or a candle shaped like the TV Tower. Kitsch, you say? Yeah, but you'll score a point or two just because it's from Berlin.
