Picturesque St.-Ulrichs-Platz

The Eigensinnig Wien concept store on St.-Ulrichs-Platz was one of the first to seize on the potential of this particular part of town. This fashion shop has set up shop in an attractive historic vaulted space, with unplastered walls and concrete floors creating an edgy aesthetic. The monobrand store for the own label Eigensinnig Wien sells almost entirely fashion in black. The pieces are sewn in the in-house studio on the second floor. Right next door on St.-Ulrichs-Platz is the Ulrich, a café, restaurant and bar combined, whose menu includes tarte flambée, numerous kinds of salad and small tapas-sized dishes. The Ulrich has a little brother located just a few doors down called the Erich. Here as well there are small snacks, great cocktails and a wide selection of gin. The gold-black furnishing in combination with the white-painted vaulting creates a stylish overall impression.

At the corner of the idyllic St.-Ulrichs-Platz, the vintage store Burggasse 24 offers selected hip, second-hand fashion in light-drenched rooms with high ceilings. Coffee and cake are also offered. At uppers & downers there is also hand-picked and personally curated vintage fashion. A few steps away, the Viennese designer Sabine Kriebel runs a small boutique with her fashion label SBIN. The charming showroom Die Sellerie offers fine art prints, stationery, home accessories and special gift ideas, developed or personally selected by four graphic designers. The design shop code7 principally sells porcelain creations made by Austrian and Czech artists.
