The concept
Szputnyik Shop’s aim is to provide a mixture of quality vintage garments and accessories along with limited numbered new models on an affordable price. For us the uniqueness of the clothes is more important than a brand name. However, high quality is is still essencial of course.
We encourage you to be creative and find your own style that expresses you the most. Fashion is about you; picking clothes and combining outfits is a matter of personal choice and taste.
Our vintage garments come from all over the world, and are chosen from thousands of other pieces with special care
We truly believe that combining old clothes of different eras with new elements of contemporary fashion offers the chanse of revealing a specific and individual style.
That is why we provide small series of contemporary garments along with our vintage supply for both men and women.This enables the free crossing of styles , and gives you the chanse to find the pieces and accesories that reflect your personality the most.
The name
We wereinspired by Haruki Murakami’s book Sputnik Sweetheart – a mystical story about the power of love – where the protagonist calls his love Sputnik, accompanying him on him travels.
We like to think of our clothes as dear travel companions, accompanying our customers on their mystical journeys.
