The vendors at RoB Berlin were incredibly kind to derpy, poor, touristy me. They were nice enough to put up with speaking English to me, because my knowledge of German is approximately 0, and I was very grateful. I was also on a massive budget, but I still wanted something to wear for Folsom Europe. They were able to suggest an entire outfit that I could afford while still letting me admire all the nicer, more expensive things. Finally, near the front door of the store, there were some really beautiful, free, house-made postcards/fliers that I absolutely fell in love with. Shopping online for these sorts of things is all well and good, but visiting the store and getting a neat RoB Berlin shopping bag with fun clothes and postcards was probably one of the highlights of my visits to Berlin.
I recommend RoB Berlin to anyone that happens to be curious about the scene. It should be noted that the goods are somewhat pricy (and, owing to the nature of these garments, high prices are somewhat unavoidable), but, what's nice about this area of Schöneberg is that there are plenty of other shops nearby. It's a great place to walk and look around to see what shops are best for you. read more
