final layer was founded on one conviction: clothing is not merely worn, it is lived. as a vintage store, each piece we curate carries its own history - a trajectory of material, form, and context - that we see as inseparable from its presence today. our curatorial approach is uncompromising: every garment is one we would choose for ourselves, selected not by the shifting logic of trend but by respecting our aesthetic integrity and guided by a sustained respect for the past.

nested in the heart of prenzlauer berg, between winskiez and kollwitzkiez, final layer is berlin’s home for archive clothing, true vintage, and collectibles from the past. specializing in covetable pieces by giorgio armani, helmut Lang, raf simons, and other visionaries in fashion, the store champions personal style over passing trends. every garment and object is hand-selected for its history, rarity, and cultural weight - a curated wardrobe for those who know exactly who they are.

zweite hand — our sister store, located right next door to final layer — expands our philosophy into a realm of vintage military clothing, workwear and carefully selected streetwear at a more accessible price point. this allows a broader audience to enter into dialogue with our vision and the world of vintage.
