Ludwig Beck, Munich
Spread throughout 7 trendy, innovatively designed floors, Ludwig Beck is unlike other department stores that exist today. With cool, quirky gifts and high-end paper and cards located next to young fashion, traditional tracht outfits and accessories, and high-couture dresses, it’s no wonder that tourists from around the world and locals from just down the street flock into the shop each season to see what new pieces are available.
On the first floor, no matter what time of year it is, shoppers will find a large variety of colorful fine silk scarves, available at many different price points from 20 to 80 Euros. No matter whom you are shopping for, or what your budget is, there will definitely be a scarf here that will interest you. And not only will you be shopping in one of the nicest stores in Munich, but you will be walking into a bit of history as well; while the store on Marienplatz has been the home of Ludwig Beck since 1954, the Munich-based store itself has been around since its humble beginnings as a small family-owned shop in 1861.
