Cheap retailer doesn't mean that this shop is something like T.K. Maxx or Marshalls, because all products here are one brand only - "Noname"
P.S. Bērnu apģērbi in Latvian means Clothes for Kids

Mazā Monētu iela (Little Coin street) is one of the most famous streets among students in Riga.
Two the most cheapest places are located here - La Belle Epoque (aka French Bar) and recently opened Celsijs.
Ultra low prices in both places make the street wet from the spilled beer (literally :)). During rush hours (the middle of the night) it is impossible to get through the street. Hundreds of students, alternative people, bums and foreigners gather here.
It is unique place because it is not forbidden to travel with the same glass of beer from one place to another one.
