Berlin reminds me of Melbourne: the city has a cool vibe,  the people are relaxed and cool, and those that get about by bicycle hang out in uber cool back-alley bars.

Like Melbournians, Beliners also love their locally-styled, locally-made and locally-sold from a boutique in the local ally fashion.

I stumbled across one such place as it opened its doors of an evening – they are so cool they only open between five and ten at night.

A Loja is a fashion house run by four young designers that specialise in creating one-off pieces that are a true expression of Berlin’s unique look.
