Kleiderei Berlin

Kleiderei Berlin: Borrow clothes instead of buying, in Kreuzberg

If you see clothes as a utility item rather than a disposable one, Kleiderei Berlin is the right place for you. Kleiderei is a kind of fashion library and thus a real alternative to buying new. The concept is simple and consistent: Membership regularly costs 29 Euros per month for four items at a time, or 39 Euros per month for six items at a time. There are no return deadlines; items can be kept for as long as desired.

Second-hand, Vintage and New Items under one Roof

The range at Kleiderei Berlin is broadly diversified. It offers second-hand and vintage clothing, new items, jewelry, and accessories, with the main focus on everyday wear. The majority of the clothes come from donations, and another part comes from labels that disclose their production conditions. This ensures that each piece of clothing remains in use for as long as possible.

Kleiderei: Repair Included

Even damaged items do not simply disappear from the inventory. If an item of clothing is damaged, the member only has to cover half of the price, as Kleiderei bears the rest of the repair costs to extend the lifespan of the pieces. If one ultimately falls in love with a piece, it can be purchased at a member discount.

More Than Just a Store

Kleiderei Berlin also sees itself as a community. Several times a year, clothing swap events take place, accompanied by workshops, film screenings, and discussion rounds on the grievances in the textile industry, together with clothing labels and initiatives. Additionally, members can donate their own clothes and receive a 20 percent voucher, which can be applied to the first month of a membership or a purchase.
