Imitation Gucci and Prada

Dircksenstraße 45
Berlin, Berlin 10178

This simple boutique in Mitte stocks three Italian labels which imitate the designs of Prada and Gucci—Patrizia Pepe, Ca va, bugaboo, Izaak and Pas de cliché. Owner Signora Barcella believes that she is filling a gap in the market, as Berliners previously had to pay through the nose for exclusive fashion items. The only alternative for those on a limited budget was to resort to mass-production items. Now, Berlin's fashion-conscious public can purchase elegant, high-quality clothes without breaking the bank. Plus, American customers can enjoy the "global refund" by purchasing their items tax free.
