Anna Stein stocks unusual accessories and souvenirs – from felt wallets and CDs to chocolate fondue and Brazilian jewelry. Yet the store is not only a place to shop, it is a place of encounter without any obligation to buy.

If visitors’ mood so takes them, the shop becomes something of a parlor where they can mix informally, drink coffee, chat and swap ideas.
