The Editors' Copenhagen Guide

The Editor’s
Copenhagen Guide

Danish Design Quarter.

Copenhagen is justly famous for its sense of style and the shopping here is great, both for fashion, vintage and interiors. However give the big international brands a swerve and hunt out local heroes instead. Luckily, most of the mens (and some womens) designers are all huddled around a few streets in the city centre, making our very own Design Quarter.

Danish Design Quarter

With a good selection of bars and cafés in between, you can spend a day here: just grab a coffee at La Cabra, or an elevated coffee experience at April, a glass of wine and a bite to eat at bar Vitrine, or go classic at Møntergade for some of the city’s best smørrebrød.

Check out our favourites here:

Another Aspect

Møntergade 3A

With its La Cabra coffee bar, this store is the hub of these narrow streets and is always busy. After your latte, grab a few pieces of the brand’s selection of wardrobe staples, all made with sustainability in the mindset.

Berner Kũhl

Gammel Mønt 2

A real favourite at The Editors, Berner Kuhl’s tiny store is the go-to for pared down minimal menswear in truly beautiful fabrics (designer Frederik is a self confessed textile nerd). This is a very elevated slant on local style.

Hansen Garments

Pilestræde 42-44

An atmospheric store centred around the brand’s own collection of relaxed classics, urban workwear and wardrobe favourites. They also stock a carefully chosen selection of other similar collections including Kapital (the only stockist in Denmark).

Henrik Vibskov

Gammel Mønt 14

The multi-discipline local hero Henrik VIbskov has a well established store here stocking the likes of JW Anderson, Issey Mikaye and Maison Margiela but treat yourself by rifling through the graphic knits, colourful jacquards and quirky prints from Vibskov’s own whimsical collections for the real fun pieces.
