Passion Points: Style
Shopping in Copenhagen Text Size A A A
Stylish and cutting-edge, Copenhagen is one of Europe’s coolest shopping destinations. Young creative entrepreneurs have opened up independent boutiques, many of which resemble the avant-garde galleries or the ateliers of lifestyle curators, and the city’s design scene is as vibrant as ever. The main shopping thoroughfare is Stroget, in the center of the city, and some of the best boutiques are found in the smaller side streets off this bustling boulevard. While you could easily spend two hours in design mecca Illums Bolighus alone, more disciplined shoppers can work the circuit in a fun shopping afternoon. At the end of your spree, don’t miss cocktails at Ruby, an uber-cool bar in an apartment setting with a boudoir-esque downstairs, a patio and a fashionable local crowd to match. Hidden, understated and devastatingly stylish, Ruby epitomizes the new generation of Copenhagen cool.
Here are eight boutiques not to miss on your next trip:
One-stop design shopping: Illums Bolighus
Edgy high fashion: Paris Texas
Danish gourmets: Kransekagehuset Summerbird
One-stop fashion & accessories: Rue Verte
Fancy lingerie: Tekinoktay
Adorable children’s clothing: Noa Noa
Sleek colorful tabletop (OR ceramics): Anne Black
Affordable Scandinavian High Fashion: COS
