I usually don't shop in big department stores such as this but after arriving in Freiburg I quickly…read moreconceided that I definately needed a real winter coat like...Tomorrow! So my Boss drove me into town and being that I've never bought a winter coat before I decided to let me do the leading and followed him up to the thrid floor of this store. The selection here is much better then the other big department store in town (I think it starts with a K??) and after trying on many coats I found a gorgeous warm Jacket that doesn't make me look like a michillen man and has a great little furry hood that makes Germans come up to me in the street and ask if I'm an Eskimo :-) with my slitty eyes and black straight fringe (You'd think they'd never seen anyone of Asian background in this part of the country before...heh) I'm Happy and Warm and thats all I can ask for :)

Classic German department store chain. It's pretty basic and not very exciting (which I suppose…read morevery few department stores are really). You can definitely find bargains though. However the only thing I bought here was a second suitcase (in a very cute pink hue) so I could fit all the mymuesli-mueslis and tea I had bought. You know, the really important stuff in life. Friendly service.

Came here for one and only one thing: as many Ritter Sports as I could carry back to the US. Since…read moreevery Cost Plus in the US now carries it, my mission was to find flavors that I had not seen. Instead of naming all the previously unseen flavors, I just took pictures. Quite the bounty!

Organic and fairtrade clothing for men and women. Also some upcycled things and vegan garments. I…read moreobviously applaude the vision and efforts but I find the interior design and clothes a bit bland and boring in colours, patterns and style (autumn 2016). It didn't give me any shopping urges (which granted, to not buy anything at all is the ultimate sustainable choice...) alas. The shop interior reminded me a lot about the ETC-shops in Stockholm, not all organic shops however unlike Zündstoff they're usually good at colourful window displays, colours and patterns that wet your shopping appetite. Also the hipster shop clerk did a good job ignoring the few possible customers browsing the clothes - really, a friendly welcome and offer to help if wanted would have been nice. Or rather, basic customer service. Oh, I really wanted to love the shop, because of its vision and concept, but unfortunately it left me rather disappointed.
