An awesome story that warms any ice cold heart! I’m glad y’all are expanding overseas too! Wishing your tribe continued success beyond into the future! Stay Sick! (The non Covid verity of course)

Amazing stories about your future is your shop, business, employment peoples who work in shop, friends, travels and others. It’s not easy but working everyday at gothic shop you went. Your shop is awesome inside. I love it. 👍👍😊😘🤟🏾👏🏾🖤🖤📱

Ah, no way! I just watched your recent WGT video and decided to check out your channel. I was at your shop last month! It was certainly different from any gothic shop I've been to before - "daytime goth community space" describes it perfectly! Unfortunately, I'd had a difficult journey from the UK, so was feeling a little unwell - my trip to your shop was a test to see if I'd be okay going to Hafenklang that night (I was). So I was a little surprised to see the seating space in the middle, but really liked the idea. Hopefully I'll feel better the next time I'm in Hamburg and will stay to socialise for a while, but I think Elli came over to talk with me and was super friendly and lovely. And I bought a beautiful fan, as I needed a new one, and it helped make many friends more comfortable that warm weekend in Hamburg! It sounds like you put so much hard work into the shop - well done, it looks beautiful!

Such a great shop. Discovered you on my search for black lipsticks (at the time you were the only shop in Germany who sold pretty zombie cosmetics). Then I read your statement about the environment and that you only sell vegan pieces and that put you in my heart forever. 🖤

Beautiful shop! You guys should start a franchise program so you can have physical shops in all major cities with significant goth populations. NYC, Chicago, LA, London, etc. Put up a map of the world on one of your walls and start putting black push-pins in it! Carpe Noctem!

I found it interesting to hear how your shop came to fruition - didn't realize how much work it was/long process! I have no doubt your shop will become popular in years to come. Good luck!

Woow. Besides you're friends you had the knowledge to manage a lot of things because most of you have experience in different fields. It's a dream come true. Instead of a lot obstacles you could manage this vision. In some way this is a motivation to open a goth shop. Congratulations!!

I would love to come in and browse and meet you all. Your shop looks fab. Unfortunately, I live in the USA, and no plans to visit Hamburg anytime soon. My mom's side of the family had origins in Hamburg. My grandmother and her family immigrated to the USA in 1909 when she was 4 years old. (Jan Griffiths).

Thank you very much for sharing this with us & may I say WOW & CONGRATULATIONS what a journey you all had 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I really didn't know about the difficulty level on opening businesses in Germany especially when you have an actual store & also an online shop. You all should be commended. Keep up the great work 🖤
