Copenhagen and design are inextricably linked. From interiors to fashion, Danish design is renowned worldwide. It is minimalist, bold, and practical at the same time. Sustainability also plays a major role in Danish brands. All brands participating in Copenhagen Fashion Week must demonstrate that they integrate sustainability throughout their business. A comforting thought when shopping from our favorite Danish brands!
Copenhagen is a true shopping city, offering everything from high-end designer stores to vintage boutiques—all within cycling distance! GANNI stores are a must-visit in Copenhagen—you’ll find them in no fewer than five locations. The shops are just as fun as the brand’s clothing itself: bold, playful, and yet accessible.
You also can’t miss the stores of By Malene Birger and Filippa K, which are beautifully designed in the same minimalist style as their clothing. In central Copenhagen, you’ll also find other Danish favorites such as Munthe, ROTATE and Samsøe Samsøe.
Don’t forget to explore the neighborhoods outside the city center, like Nørrebro and Vesterbro. Nørrebro offers many alternative vintage stores with a surprising selection. In Vesterbro, you’ll find stunning multi-brand stores like Mr Larkin as well as high-end vintage boutiques. From past GANNI collections to vintage Chanel, you’ll discover some real treasures here!

Located just outside the city, but still easily reachable by bike! Be inspired by the raw surroundings of the former harbor district, where old factories are slowly being transformed into new hotspots.

Wherever you walk in Copenhagen, you’ll undoubtedly be inspired by the street style. The Scandi Look is diverse but shares common elements. Like Amsterdam, Copenhagen is a real cycling city, so comfort is key! Outfits should also be practical, yet trendsetting through interesting textures and prints. Standout accessories, such as statement bags or silk scarves, are also popular. Here are our favorite Scandi-inspired looks.
Copenhagen and coffee go hand in hand. Start your morning like a local: step into a cozy coffee shop, take in the aroma of freshly baked cinnamon buns, and sip on a perfectly brewed coffee. Those with a sweet tooth will be in heaven all day long in Copenhagen—pastries and sweet treats abound! These spots are also great for breakfast and lunch. From avocado toast to a bolle med ost (a delicious roll with whipped butter and Danish cheese)—the Danes are true trendsetters in the culinary world as well! Here are our favorite coffee spots:
