Those with an artistic heart flock the streets of Mitte in search of the funky furnishings and clothing outlets that this area has to offer. The most popular of the streets is Friedrichstraße, with a great mix of international labels, stylish department stores and chic, youthful apparel. Young designer Stephanie Schneck crafts knitwear out of the most fabulous of twines that will have your own granny jealous- all items are unique and made according to the wishes of the customer. If you collect one of a kind handbags then walking past Penthesileia will make you stop dead in your tracks. Designers Sylvia Müller and Anke Runge offer traditional quality and workmanship in a range of up-to-the-minute colours and designs.

The newer Galleries Lafayette has brought a taste of Paris to Berlin with its high-arching architecture and high quality boutiques. All the top of the line merchandise is French and the most fashionable clothes, shoes, and cosmetics available. And best of all, they haven't left out what is perhaps my most favorite part of France- the food! Fromage and other French delicacies can be found in the food court in the basement.
