Chapati by Nichè Berlin in Oranienstraße: Archive Pieces and Unique Items

Chapati by Nichè Berlin is located at Oranienstraße 22 in Kreuzberg, approximately 350 meters from Kottbusser Tor U-Bahn station and about 480 meters from Görlitzer Bahnhof. In addition to the current collection, the store features the Chapati archive, and this is precisely what makes the address interesting for bargain hunting: it holds remaining stock, prototypes, sample pieces, and unique items from previous collections, often at significantly lower prices than current merchandise. Regular items cost around 55 Euros for a knitted sweater and 129 Euros for a dress; archive pieces are priced lower. Sizes range from S to XXL, with some models available in double sizes. The store also has a small café offering coffee, cold drinks, and sparkling wine, along with personal style advice, making a visit more of an experience than a quick shopping trip. The Adalbertstraße Ecke Oranienstraße bus stop is about 200 meters away, making the store easily accessible without transfers.

From Chapati to Nichè: Berlin Designs in Merino Wool and Linen

Behind the store is a family-run Berlin company that continues the design language of the former Chapati label. The designs are created in Berlin, with sewing and knitting done in small quantities by partner companies in India, and some models are deliberately not re-produced. Organic cotton, mulesing-free merino wool, linen, and viscose are processed, along with knit jacquard and brocade, and velvet lining for the archive pieces. Each model bears a first name instead of an item number, which remains the same across all colors, so loyal customers can rediscover their favorite cuts over the years. Because new designs are also created from original Chapati fabrics, the assortment differs with each visit, and the archive is regularly replenished. Anyone who finds an archive piece at Chapati by Nichè Berlin usually buys a unique item that will not be reproduced in that specific combination of fabric and cut. Practical for regular customers: The free customer card collects one point per Euro spent, credit can be redeemed from one hundred points, and gift vouchers are exclusively available in the store.
