Sommerladen, Johanna Mattner’s well-run second hand shop, is centrally located in the basement in the heart of Berlin-Mitte, in Linienstraße. If you go down the few steps, you will be rewarded. Everything looks very clean, smells good and hangs well organized on stainless steel stands. The rather noble second hand fashion, which is offered here, is in a top condition.
Former stylist Johanna Mattner benefits from good contacts in the fashion industry and good customers in a well-off neighbourhood. Often she even gets her clothes directly from celebrities or their PR staff. In addition to big brands such as Prada and Chanel, the summer shop also sells well-preserved pieces by Kaviar Gauche, coats, skirts and T-shirts from Comme des Garçons and also cardigans from Wolfen are always represented in her shop. Also beautiful pieces from the Berlin label lala Berlin can be bought here much cheaper than for a new price.
Some customers also come to the second hand shop only for the accessories. Women will find sunglasses of all current brands such as Chanel, Dior, Ray Ban or Persol, chic scarves from lala Berlin and handbags from Miu Miu, MCM or Céline. Even shoes that are almost new or worn only once are available from designers like Prada, Jil Sander or other brands.
Founded by Johanna Mattner in 2003, the store was originally conceived as a one-time summer project, hence the name Sommerladen. However, the project was so well received and ran so well that Johanna Mattner continued the business permanently.
The fashion on offer is usually available in sizes XS to L.
