On my visit to Berlin I visited Mauerpark the mecca of thrift shopping. When I arrived I was so overwhelmed with the amount of vendors and products that they had. Good thing I was there with a Berliner (local) because I would have bought everything @ the door and for way too much. The market is filled with clothes, records, accessories, furniture and food. Majority is second hand but there are a few indy designers sprinkled here and there. I left with a such great items one of which was a vintage watch pendant that I love. Loved it so much I wore it right out of the market, so you know that's a good buy. If your ever in Berlin and love thrifting as much as I do then don't miss Mauerpark on a Sunday afternoon. Negotiate...most vendors are not stuck on prices some didn't even know the value of the items that they have. My friend left with a funky pair of Swatch sunglasses for 6 euros. The vendor wanted 15 euro but he had no idea what Swatch was. She saw this weakness and played dumb and he lowered the price to 6 Euros. Oh 1 key of advice get there early because it get's really crowed as the day goes on.

Happy Shopping!!!
