Translated from French, “LaRobe” means “the dress, the garment.” The name is fitting because the boutique with a balcony, as it has been known for many years on Kohlmarkt, offers a distinctive and luxurious selection of women’s fashion. But it’s not just the name that is French; a large part of the designer collections is sourced in Paris. La Robe’s buying department focuses on selecting collections that are timeless and give their wearers that “je ne sais quoi.” From très élégant by Maison Rabih Kayrouz to trop chic with Casey Casey, the brand portfolio has much to offer. Trendy labels like Jil Sander, Studio Nicholson, and Dušan are also represented at La Robe. The mix of emerging labels and timeless designs makes La Robe a “mustvisit store” in Vienna. For those seeking an intimate shopping atmosphere and valuing individual styling, La Robe is the right place to be. Treat yourself to a glass of Crémant and a sensational view from the balcony over Kohlmarkt. To complete the shopping experience, we highly recommend a visit next door to Chegini. What many may not know is that both stores belong together and perfectly complement each other in their selection…
Half a Century of Avant-Garde Fashion at Kohlmarkt
Vienna’s 1st district is noble; it is the heart of the city and the historical hub of former royal majesties, prominent princes, and counts. Amid the tourist hustle and bustle, since 1973, you can find Boutique Chegini—a fashion store that, from the outside, resembles a showroom and features its main sales area in the basement. As one of two women’s multi-brand stores on Kohlmarkt, Chegini offers a unique brand portfolio. In its early days, during the mid-70s, it was the first store to introduce brands such as Prada and Lanvin to Vienna and was considered the ultimate fashion pioneer. With its current avantgarde brand selection, it still retains that trailblazing spirit. Labels such as Maison Margiela, Marc Le Bihan, Uma Wang, and Simone Rocha are designers who see fashion not merely as a consumer product but as a process that begins with creation and continues through wearing. Do you feel inspired to experience impressive textile art? Then visit Chegini at Kohlmarkt 7 and discover a place where international avant-garde meets Old Vienna.
