Broke+Schön Mitte

Fashion store in the Alte and Neue Schönhauser Straße district

Alte Schönhauser Straße, together with Neue Schönhauser Straße and Münzstraße, forms Mitte’s fashion district, one of the few Berlin areas where shops are truly close together. Broke+Schön’s branch is located at house number 35, and it is the only one of the four Berlin locations in this district. The other three are in Friedrichshain and Prenzlauer Berg, with additional stores in Hamburg and, since 2025, in Cologne. This is relevant for shopping because the location defines the character: anyone who comes here almost always combines the visit with several other shops on the same street, rather than targeting a single address. The chain was founded in Berlin in 2009 and is managed by Maria and Martin Hopf. The store is accessible via the Weinmeisterstraße subway station, Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz is also within walking distance, and tram lines M1 and M8 run in the immediate vicinity. Hardly any address on this list is easier to reach.

Hair clips, scarves, and bags alongside women’s fashion

For a list of accessories, Broke+Schön is particularly interesting because the store does not treat small items as mere add-ons. In addition to jackets, coats, sweaters, cardigans, vests, blouses, dresses, trousers, and skirts, there is a separate selection of hair clips, caps, hats, scarves, and winter accessories, as well as bags and wallets. There are also earrings and necklaces. A hair clip costs 10 euros, a scarf with narrow stripes 24.99 euros, which puts the store significantly below the manufacturers on this list in terms of price. For materials, the house mentions linen, viscose, and wool, among others. A special feature is the Mini-Me collection, which offers children’s items to match the women’s fashion. The integration of the store and online shipping is also practical: items ordered online can be exchanged and returned free of charge in the branch; the exchange of an online order even works exclusively in the store. Vouchers are available both on-site and digitally, and can be redeemed in both directions. For a gift where you don’t know the size, this is the most uncomplicated option.
