Die Krawatte is a small, elegant vendor of made-to-measure clothing and quality accessories. It is…read morelocated along the pedestrian walk in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. It is a gem. This is where men and women seeking the best of the best in clothes can find them. I was impressed on my first visit, but knowing my limitations I returned with a friend. She is an amateur seamstress and well qualified to appraise the quality of the workmanship at Die Krawatte. She was flabbergasted with the quality. Pulling a few items at random, she explained a number of details that manufactured clothing, even very expensive stuff, rarely or never includes (generally because of the complexity of the details or because of the number of steps involved in the manufacturing process for such details). Examples are silk connecting fabric where seams diverge at the bottom of a shirt tail, stitching details around button holes, and collar construction. I learned a lot. I bought a few shirts, with different collar styles, fabrics, and cuff types. Each was made to my measurements and detail selections. They are also monogrammed at the tails, which is kind of fun. All of their suits are hand stitched and hand cut. You chose the fabrics and colors and details. There are a myriad of details that add up to a wonderful experience. I spent some very enjoyable time learning about suit construction, fitting and measuring, and selecting fabrics in their upstairs dressing and sample area. I selected a grey suit with a few understated custom touches and a pair of dark brown handmade shoes along with other appropriate accessories. It took about two weeks to get the shoes. The suit and shirts arrived after a month. Another fitting session ensued, for each item, and small alterations perfected the look. All of these items are among my favorite and most comfortable. If you feel uncomfortable or stuffy in your dress clothes, or if you just want quality without compromise, you should visit Die Krawatte. There is no comparison to a brand name suit (even a nice one) and a suit made just for your body. They speak English and German, have wonderful taste, and experts, and make the process fun. Their excitement is infectious and the results are outstanding. I love wearing these clothes. They have my measurements on file, to my joy. All my future fine clothing needs are just an e-mail and a small shipping charge away!

Gorgeous trachten and accessories shop in town. It's run by a couple of ladies that speak a bit of…read moreEnglish and very helpful. Their selection is not huge but they do have lots of different prices ranges from cheap to expensive. They have two levels of stuff and whilst the shop looks tiny from the outside, there is a fair bit of stuff inside. The selection of lederhosen and dirndl was good and the prices were also reasonable. It's a little bit away from the center of town and whilst there are other shops in the town center, the location meant better prices. We ended up buying some things and ended up getting a further reduction due to long weekend sale. Not a bad place to get traditional wear in Garmisch.

I just love this shop! It is very easy to find fun and useful gifts for most people. Whenever I am…read morenear Sendlinger Tor, I enter this store to see what new stuff they have. I already bought there something for myself. But most of the times I just buy gifts for friends. And they really like it. Who would not like the stuff they have? OK, the person has to like some colorful things. :D The store has a wide range of products, which goes from decorative, home, kitchen, personal care, accessories, to office items. The products are most of the time very colorful, amusing, and very functional as well as fun. They provide gift packing at no extra cost. I am not so sure if they also do it on Saturdays, given that the store do gets a bit crowded. It is almost guaranteed you will find a gift that the matches the person that will receive it. :D

Pop culturish with brightly designed toys, clocks, etc. This is also a place I could see locals coming to get something for their young teen nieces and nephews, particularly females who want something hip for the phone or bag. Overall, a nice place with cute ideas it just wasn't what were looking for on this trip so we did not make any purchases. With that being said, check it out anyway.
