One of my favourite things to do in the week is to visit the Turkish markets in Neukolln.

It’s held on Maybachufer, near Kottbusser Tor and is on Tuesday and Fridays. There are lots of stalls selling fruit, veg, deli food and fabric. A great place for a bargain and wide variety!

Last night I went to a round table meeting run by The Upcycling Fashion Store in Berlin. It was held at Lebenskleidung, which is an ethical fabric store based in Kreuzberg. The meeting was attended by various people in the eco fashion industry here, and was a great opportunity for me to meet people here who have similar interests. I hope to work in this industry and met some really interesting people. I also got some lovely fair trade fabric from the Lebenskeidung remnants box for free!
