In the heart of Salzgitter, the boutique "C. M. Fashion" once stood as a beacon of Italian and French fashion. For a decade, Christiane Meyer ran the store, not just as a retail space, but as a social gathering spot for her many regular customers.

Meyer, a resident of Salzgitter, made it a point to engage with her patrons over coffee or champagne, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. This unique blend of shopping and socialising made the store more than just a fashion destination, but an entertainment hub as well.

At the beginning of September 2025, Meyer announced the closure of her beloved boutique. In an interview with the "Salzgitter Zeitung," she revealed her detailed reasons for the decision, which can be found in the newspaper's article.

The physical location of the store now stands empty, a testament to the changing landscape of Salzgitter's cityscape. However, the store's online shop remains operational, allowing customers to continue shopping for the stylish styles and accessories that Meyer was known for, offering something new every week.

The closure of "C. M. Fashion" is not an isolated incident. It is another instance of small businesses disappearing from Salzgitter's cityscape, a trend that has left many locals feeling disheartened.

Despite the closure, Meyer continues to reside in Salzgitter. Many of her customers were upset about the store's closure, but Meyer assured them that she had cleared out her store in a short time, ensuring a smooth transition.

As we bid farewell to "C. M. Fashion," we remember the memories created within its walls and the unique shopping experience it offered. The store will be missed, but its legacy continues online.
