Embracing Chaos since 1978
It all started more than 40 years ago: In 1970, Henry Hoppe started the BBC on Ratinger Straße. It is the time of Beuys, Warhol and Hendrix. Extroverted artists and musicians cavort on the streets of Düsseldorf.
Since then, the BBC and the sometimes nine shops of founder Henry Hoppe have been an integral part of Düsseldorf's subculture: When the German punk movement emerged years after it was founded on Ratinger Strasse, the BBC was right in the middle - and delivered with striped jeans and Dr. Martens the right clothes.
Of course, a lot has changed since then: Henry is now retired. Martens no longer only buy punks. And instead of extroverted musicians and artists, large fashion chains now shape the cityscape of Düsseldorf. But we are still here. Just like our customers: The punks from back then come today with their children and grandchildren. Because we too have always remained true to punk over the years. But whether punk or just looking for good shoes and good advice - everyone is welcome here.
And we no longer only offer studded belts, Harrington jackets, patches, band shirts and Doc's. We also have a large selection of Blundstones for young and old and our BBC Creepers on offer. And since it's no longer 1970: We now also sell shoes online. We are also happy to advise you via Facebook and Instagram . Try it!
