Made to last in Cologne

Do you remember the phrase "it will last you forever" - when was the last time you bought something that could live up to that expectation?  In these days of throwaway fashion, even the latest "it" bag costing thousands of euros will be thrown on the fashion scrap heap when the next season's "must have" hit's the pages of Vogue.  That's not the case in Manufactum - here you can buy stuff - that lasts.  With the slogan "The good things in life still exist" Manufactum sells everything from pure vegetable soaps and original Belgium chocolates, to hand-made leather goods and old fashioned wooden desk chairs.  You could probably furnish and stock your house from scratch, and apart from the perishables, be set for the rest of your life.  Everything Manufactum sells is top notch quality, basic, plain, practical or beautiful. Their new shop on Brückenstrasse 23 - around the corner from the Opera - is a feast for the eyes - they also have a website where you can see and buy everything online.  So if you're looking for something that is made to last - check out Manufactum.
