Dresden-Prohlis, since 2016
Everything costs €5, €10, €15 or €20
There are no price tags in this shop. There are four crates, each one taped a different colour, and the colour is the price. Learn four colours and you already know what everything in here costs.
Four crates, four prices
Every garment in the shop lives in one of these. Nothing is marked, nothing is discounted, nothing changes price on a Thursday.

The colour is the price
Why there are no price tags
It started as a way to stop re-ticketing a thousand garments every season. It turned out to be the clearest thing we ever did.
The colour is the price
A yellow band means €5. Orange means €10, green €15, black €20. You can read the whole shop from the door, and you can read it in any language.
No was-now, no sale rail
We never mark anything down, because nothing was ever marked up. A garment either fits in a crate at that price or we do not buy it in.
The tape is on the crate, not the garment
Nothing is stickered, nothing is tagged, nothing has to be peeled off at home. When something moves crate — which happens twice a year at most — we move the tape.

What people say at the till
Collected in the shop, printed and pinned by the door.
“I sent my mother in on her own and she came out with a coat and no idea she had spent twenty euros. She just looked for the black tape. That is the whole trick.”
Katrin B.Prohlis, shopping here since 2018 “My German is not good and I never have to ask what something costs. Yellow is five. I learned that on my first day here.”
Amir T.Gorbitz “They shortened two pairs of cord trousers for nothing while I waited. Try getting that in the city centre for fifteen euros.”
Uwe H.Niedersedlitz
The shop itself
Ground floor of the block on Albert-Wolf-Platz, two minutes from the Prohlis tram loop. Crates on metal shelving, one changing room, a kettle, and someone who will tell you honestly if it does not suit you.
