Sometimes something new begins with a memory.
With a feeling that has slumbered for too long.
RUGLET is exactly that:
A revival of the pop-up bazaars that started it all –
and at the same time a new chapter for Wild Heart Free Soul.
More lightness. More music. More space for chance, beauty, and encounters.
On Saturday, July 19, 2025, we celebrate the very first RUGLET BAZAR –
from 12 to 18 o'clock, with free admission to the WHFS showroom at Kastanienallee 55.
What you can expect:
Curated chaos. Good finds. Lots of emotion.
We transform our showroom into a lively bazaar for one day –
between living room and concept store, between bazaar and dance floor.
There you will find:
- Vintage kilims, carpets & cushions at soft prices
- Antique and semi-antique textiles from Anatolia, Africa, India & Uzbekistan Kaftans & dresses, worn, collected, loved
- Second-hand treasures from my personal wardrobe Handmade Tuareg jewelry from Niger
- Sami & his legendary vintage guitar collection
- Hand-carved wooden objects & lamps made from olive trees (Portugal)
Each piece was carefully selected.
Not because it’s “in” – but because it has soul.
Music: Daniel Wang live
The music? Comes from none other than disco legend Daniel Wang.
He has shaped the Berlin club scene for over two decades:
Ostgut, Café Moscow, Cocktail d'Amore, Paloma Bar – you name it.
His sets are a dance between eras, cultures and moods.
Daniel loves House & Disco , but also African fabrics, Persian vases and Turkish kilims.
He is a collector of beautiful things, a wanderer between worlds – and a close friend of WHFS.
On July 19th he releases the soulful soundtrack,
that carries you through the fabric and sets you in motion.
Valla Vino: Natural wine meets nomadic flair
Valla Vino – founded by our friend and WHFS customer Marco Aslim and his partner Lissi Ahrens-Heimer – provides cool glasses.
The two restaurateurs combine their love of wine with a sense of aesthetics, travel and culinary diversity.
After two years in the Pfefferberg market hall, Valla Vino is now located at Lychener Straße 3 –
and as an event partner.
Their selection of natural wines is sensual, surprising, honest –
just like the RUGLET BAZAR.
Memories to take away
For all those who want to capture the moment,
There is a kilim photo wall with a professional photo shoot.
Show yourself as you are – barefoot, dancing, in a caftan or with your new-found treasure under your arm.
A return to my roots
This bazaar is not an event “for sales”.
It is a homage – to what brought me here.
Before Wild Heart Free Soul, my label was called LALIP.
I organized pop-up bazaars with kaftans from India, vintage fashion,
Second-season pieces from Berlin labels such as Cabinet by Departmentstore or Ikou Tschüss.
When I founded Wild Heart Free Soul in 2014, it was a kilim bazaar – nothing more, nothing less.
A pop-up with soul. An invitation to dream together.
I loved pitching tents in different places:
Berlin, Cologne, Munich, Hamburg, Stuttgart – everywhere was home for a weekend.
I was never just a trader.
I was the hostess.
Nomad at heart.
With open hands and open doors.
RUGLET today – and tomorrow?
But this bazaar is not just a retrospective –
it is also an invitation to move forward.
With RUGLET I want to dare more again.
Create more temporary spaces.
More collaboration with artists, collectors, creative souls,
who – like me – prefer dancing outside to sorting inside.
It shouldn’t just be this one bazaar.
RUGLET will be allowed to wander.
Maybe soon in a courtyard. At a festival. In a gallery.
With carpets, music, stories.
With the idea: You don't need a perfect space. Just an honest one.
And who knows – maybe it will even become a platform:
A place for all those who want to share beautiful things,
who live their own style
and prefer to find rather than search.
RUGLET is not a trend.
It's a feeling.
A condition.
A dance between things.
A way of life – on the ground, but not on the ground.
I hope you can feel that when you come.
That you take something with you – maybe a kilim, maybe just an impulse.
But something that remains.
And if you like, stay a little longer afterwards.
Have a drink with us, look around, tell your story.
Because that’s exactly where the magic comes from – when a room is not just full,
but animated.
And for all those who cannot be there:
Our RUGLET Kilim collection is also available online.
In the coming weeks, we will be adding many of the treasures you would otherwise only discover at the bazaar – carpets, textiles, clothing, and finds with soul.
