AWCH Hamburg’s Very Own Personal Shopper

All of us shoppers dream of it – the ultimate shopping experience where you find just what you’re looking for and it fits... you, your lifestyle, your existing wardrobe, and your budget. Not only that, but you actually have fun on your shopping excursion as you discover boutiques that only “shoppers in the know” can find. You’re accompanied all along by a friendly companion who takes the time to get to know what you like, has a real flair for fashion, is honest with her opinions and a professional stylist to bat.

Well, if you’re in Hamburg for a short or long stay and are looking to experience something in the realm of the dream scenario just described, then you’re in luck, as Hamburg is also home to Maria Hans, Personal Shopper and Style Consultant. In fact, Ms. Hans was the first in the area to offer such a service.

Educated as a textile designer, she imported the concept of personal shopping after a motivating trip to New York, and she has put her very own twist on the idea. Since starting her business in 1999, she’s been busy with a growing clientele, has generously donated her services in the form of gift certificates to an AWCH Fourth of July event raffle, as well as given a few AWCH members some fashion tips during a fun-filled morning coffee activity. With her inside track to local young designers and specialty boutiques (though by no means exclusive – not to worry, no snobs here), Maria offers a variety of products (e.g., handbags, designer t-shirts, etc.) one can purchase directly from her. With her keen interest in things all-American, she’s now expanded her services to include makeup styling with none other than the world-renowned line of Mary Kay beauty and skincare products. This is a great plus for those of us looking to stock up on one less thing when visiting the U.S. Now you can get your MK products, professional consulting in English, and a shopping tour tailored exactly to your needs, all right here in Hamburg.
