If you're in the market for Rimowa, or any sort of luggage item or umbrella, this is the place to…read morego in Heidelberg. Exceptionally knowledgeable sales staff + they speak English for those who are limited with their German proficiency. Note, what they have on their shelves, is all they have - so for the luxurious Rimowa line, these suitcases can move fast and be out of stock. THey will hold a suitcase for your for 1 or 2 days, while you think about it. And if you should purchase a larger suitcase and don't want to schlep it with you on the cobbled streets, they will call you a cab. Excellent service, very fair and competitive prices (particularly factoring in VAT and exchange rates), and indeed, highly recommended.

Liebeskind Berlin is the brand name but if you are in Heidelberg I recommend you visit their store…read more If I get to Germany again in this lifetime Heidelberg and this store are again on my itinerary. My local store in SOHO closed a long time ago. I was browsing through and spotted a beautiful black leather bag. That was my first experience touching this fine leather brand. It's so soft the way I like leather to be. My bag has a pocket on the outside perfect for my metro card. There's an inside zipper pocket and slip pockets. The leather shoulder strap is detachable and adjustable. I keep it folded and tied placed inside the bag when not in use. There's a key fob inside the bag also. This bag holds more than you would think. It's one of my favorite bags. It's really the only bag I would ever want or need if I had to keep only one of my bags. Like I said the store in Manhattan has closed. They do most of their business online. You have to convert U.S. Dollars to Euro. To me the bags are reasonably priced. The Liebeskind Headquarters are located in Berlin, Germany. The bags are also sold at Bloomingdales, Nordstrom and other U. S. Department Stores. I'm recommending.

I love this brand and discovered it some time ago in Munich. They have a store also in Heidelberg…read moreamongst other cities and the staff here were super friendly and welcoming. They even gave our dog a bag of homemade treats even though we did not buy anything at the store. This shop has very little for men and, all you can really do here if you are a man is, pull out your credit card and pay for the shopping :-(( Their stuff is very trendy and modern and I have found the odd thing or two for myself in the past. They have clothes, shoes, bags and tons of other accessories including the coolest mobile phone covers. I bought one before and love it. All in all a great store in Heidelberg.

A little off the beaten path, but somehow easy to find with signs on the streets pointing you…read moretowards this little shop from the station. Use Google Maps if you really need help. The owner speaks English and is very helpful and honest on how something is supposed to look. I was super lucky to find a dirndl here right before Oktoberfest in a color I wanted (purple) in my size (literally FIT PERFECTLY!!!!) AND WAS ON SALE! I was so lucky!! It was about 90 Euro! Super affordable! I also got a hat and matching necklace. Everything is quite authentic and there are many options for all sizes. The owner helped teach me how to tie the dirndl (to the right means single and the left means married). Good to know! Since i"m also not too well-endowed, he taught me how to tie the top for most flattering effect. It was pretty much all business and I appreciated how quick up-front it all was. They take card (I didn't have chip and pin), and I was really happy with my entire purchase. Anyone in Frankfurt wanting authentic outfits to wear to Oktoberfest, come here!

This is a nice little shop for tracht with a good selection of lederhosen and dirndl.

There were no huge crowds of shoppers such as to be found in Munich and the owner was very good at customer service. An all around pleasant experience and it was worth it for the trip alone as I otherwise wouldn't have seen this interesting area.
