Second Soul

Second Soul is a designer and high-quality second-hand boutique in central Karlsruhe, Germany, owned by Galina Nikolaeva. The shop offers a changing selection of pre-owned fashion, samples and trade-show pieces from well-known German and international designers and brands. Its range includes women’s and men’s clothing, shoes, designer bags, belts, jewelry, scarves and other luxury accessories, with options for leisure and business occasions. The boutique emphasizes quality, current styles and fair prices, alongside personal, knowledgeable advice in a welcoming setting.

Committed to sustainable alternatives to fast fashion, Second Soul gives high-quality garments and accessories a new life through resale. Customers can also submit items from recognized brands for consignment. The boutique reviews each item, and sellers receive a fair price when it sells; proceeds may be used toward purchases in the shop. Consignment items are accepted by appointment, with collection available for larger quantities by arrangement. Second Soul is open Monday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and offers exclusive personal-shopping appointments on request.
