Muji in Berlin
Update: Muji will be opening a branch in Berlin in early 2008:
more details.
One brand sadly lacking from Berlin's wide range of shops is the Japanese
"no name" lifestyle brand Muji.
Although they've had shops in London and Paris
for a few years, and opened the first German store in Düsseldorf in November
2005, their eastwards expansion has not yet reached Berlin. They're testing
the market though: the Deutsche Bank's
"show branch" at
Friedrichstrasse 180
(U-Bahn: Stadtmitte)
is hosting a temporary sales exhibition until
November 4 featuring over 500 items.

popped in yesterday going past and yes, it is very Muji. xpensive though! I think they take the japanese price in Yen, double it and divide by 100 to get the euro price (whereas at the normal exchange rate e.g. a 69 yen pen would cost about €0.50, Muji sell it for about €1.25).

Still cheaper than going to Japan though :). Hope they open a permanent store in Berlin, that would be cool.
