Sustainable shopping is currently on everyone’s agenda, and rightfully so. And one of the chicest selections of second-hand pieces has been drawing even Neuköllners across the river to visit its store in Wedding since its opening in October 2018. It becomes clear why right upon entering: Grus Grus‘ atmosphere, with its warm beige tones and natural materials, reflects owner and artist Dóra Földes‘ innate sense of style and attention to detail. A selection of second-hand pieces, inspired by ’80s and ’90s minimalist fashion and hand-picked by Dóra from around Europe, is arranged according to color on racks that frame the room. Above them hang large-format artworks by Dóra – these, too, are for sale. Her expressive style evokes the delicate textile paintings of fellow artist Subin Kim, whose custom silk shirts and jeans are also sold here. Come for the clothing and stay for a coffee. Previously a barista at Bonanza, Dóra serves impeccable flat whites and espressos made with the Kreuzberg roaster’s beans. Don’t feel shy about lingering or asking for styling tips — Dóra’s warmth and passion for her profession are infectious, and make Grus Grus the kind of place you want to return to again and again.
