The newly opened concept shop Isla Berlin, is putting the area between the Heinrich-Heine-Straße and Märkisches Museum U-Bahn stations back on the map. The space, which was created by women for women, boasts an excellent selection of streetwear by brands like Fila and Daily Paper, a premium nail salon, and an exhibition space equipped with brand new DJ equipment where various workshops and events are held. Their talented, multilingual nail artists are able to bring your wildest design ideas to life, and their clothing selection is affordable and perfectly on-trend. However, what really sets Isla apart from most other shops is that it is, first and foremost, a great space to just hang out in. No snobbery here! Whether you’re coming to get your nails done, to hone your skills on the decks or to find your next party outfit, you well might end up with a drink in your hands and a couple of new friends.
