In the heart of Graz, where history meets the future, stands a building that has witnessed over 150 years of transformation. Kastner & Öhler isn’t just a destination for fashion; it is a living testament to the idea that tradition and innovation are not opposites—they are partners.
As we navigate through 2026, the retail landscape is changing faster than ever. Yet, our core philosophy remains unchanged: to provide a curated selection of the world’s finest brands with a level of service that feels personal, transparent, and timeless.
1. A Legacy of Quality Since 1873
Founded by Carl Kastner and Herman Öhler, our house began as a vision to bring international style to the Austrian soul. Today, that vision has expanded into a multi-floor experience that serves as a cultural hub.
When you walk through our doors, you aren’t just shopping; you are participating in a legacy. We believe that Truth in craftsmanship and Trust in our selection are what have allowed us to thrive for over a century and a half.
2. The “Conscious Choice” Movement
Innovation today is measured by impact. At K&Ö, we recognize that the future of fashion must be sustainable. Our “Conscious Choice“ initiative is our commitment to transparency in the supply chain.
We meticulously vet our partners to ensure that the materials—from organic cotton to recycled ocean plastics—meet the highest ethical standards. For us, sustainability isn’t a trend; it’s a responsibility we owe to the next generation of Styrian fashion enthusiasts.
3. High-Tech Meets High-Touch
In an era of automated checkouts and impersonal algorithms, Kastner & Öhler doubles down on the human element. We use technology to enhance, not replace, the personal connection.
- Digital Wardrobe Integration: Our online platform and app allow you to see how new arrivals complement your previous purchases.
- Smart Fitting Rooms: Experience lighting that mimics different environments—from office fluorescent to evening gala—so you know exactly how your outfit looks before you leave.
- The Personal Stylist: Our team of experts uses data-driven insights combined with years of intuitive fashion sense to help you build a “Capsule Wardrobe” that reflects your true self.
4. Beyond Fashion: A Lifestyle Ecosystem
K&Ö has always been about more than just the clothes on your back. It’s about the environment you live in and the energy you bring to your day.
- Gigasport: Our sports division continues to lead in “Active Tech,” providing gear that bridges the gap between high-altitude performance and urban style.
- K&Ö Home: We are seeing a return to “Artisanal Heritage” in home decor—hand-blown glass, local woodwork, and textiles that tell a story.
- Culinary Excellence: A visit to our rooftop or champagne bar is the perfect “Transparency” check—allowing you to see the city of Graz from a new perspective while reflecting on your style journey.
5. The 2026 Vision: Your Style, Your Way
Our goal for the coming year is to move away from “Fast Fashion” and toward “Intentional Style.” We want to help our customers buy less but choose better. By focusing on pieces with longevity, we ensure that your wardrobe is an investment in your personal brand.
