The District Six Store- A piece of South Africa in Berlin


The most heartwarming comments received on the opening night of the new District Six Store in Kreuzberg is its on point resemblance and atmosphere of Cape Town and South Africa. Nestled next to the ever popular Anna Durkess Ice Cream store, Number 80 Graefe Strasse has become a bold, colorful and vibrant space of which Caroline, the owner of The District Six Store and my dear friend and colleague couldn't be prouder of. Not a day goes by where stories of passerby's share their experience in South Africa, inquire about the great African playlist blurring in the background, and remark on the beautifully curated products and put together space the store has. 

Only the best of South African Design has found i'ts way to the store  some of which include Pichulik, Klomp Ceramics, Lauren Fowler prints and illustrations , and Heather Moore's ever popular Skinny Laminx.

Having a small part of South Africa in Berlin is truly something  unique, and The District Six Store is always eager to see new face and a different story with each person that comes and goes.

Their opening hours are from Tuesday to Friday from 11 - 19:00 and on a Saturday from 11- 17:00. 
Their online shop is always an alternative to late night shopping for those who can't make the shop hours or who simply aren't anywhere near South Africa or Berlin
