But why is it different to the other ones? Pretty easy for me, as there is a note from Jarvis Cocker, former singer of Pulp in the window and him visiting The Shampan even made it in the newspaper.

This is probably one of the most outstanding and ‘vintage’ vintage shops about, The Vintage Emporium and Café, is as the name states not only a vintage shop but also a café.

Zum Beispiel nicht nur Möbel, Fahrräder oder Handtaschen, auch echte Künstler-Fans kommen im Genuss der “Flohschanze”. read more…
