The glittering sign reminds one of a night club, and the interior has nothing in common with the traditional concept of a shop. The bare walls are just a background to numerous knick-knacks (absolutely everything you see here you can purchase, so just be careful that you don't take a violet chair with you after a long party).

Here you'll also find an old Game boy, an Apple mouse, and various vintage clothes for 10 to 100 LVL. In the evenings, the convertible ceiling allows Pērle to transform itself into a multi-functional space where the bar becomes the King offering a wide-range of wines, just bring food with you!

"This is Berlin and New York in the 1980s," the owner of the shop, Žanete, explains

For the most part, the merchandise comes from fashion shows so sizes are quite limited. Much of the clothing is created especially for Paviljons. Jewellery, accessories, paintings - you can purchase all of them; please pay attention to the elegant socks decorated with pearls. One more thing - when visiting, it is definitely worth trying something on in the shower stall changing rooms.
