The 6 best vintage stores in Copenhagen to visit now

Copenhagen is an unmatched power hub when it comes to second hand and vintage shopping. The streets of the lovely Danish capital are sprinkled with unique boutiques that centre around giving pre-loved fashion items a new home. However, the bigger the choice, the harder it is to choose.

While we adore an overstuffed charity shop, this guide concentrates on the spots with the most curated selection of designer and premium labels. Most stores also sell and ship worldwide via their webshop or Instagram account, allowing those who aren't local or planning a visit soon access to the vast offering of pre-loved goods.

Below is our hand-picked lineup of the most coveted second hand and vintage shops in Copenhagen to join the circular movement in style:

This vintage shop is probably the most well-known one beyond Copenhagen's borders. Frequented by international stylists and celebrities such as Jane Birkin, Lady Gaga, and Naomi Campbell, Time's Up Vintage offers a remarkable selection of vintage designer and archival pieces from various decades. Whether it's a jacket by John Galliano for Christian Dior from the early aughts, an 80s Gianfranco Ferré top, an Yves Saint Laurent haute couture silk dress from the late 70s, or a pair of 1990s Prada mules – this is the place to find them.

Founded in July 2020, Jerome Vintage has become synonymous with hard-to-get vintage items from the most sought-after designers. Think '70s Celine, '90s Pleats Please by Issey Miyake and vintage Thierry Mugler or Jean Paul Gauthier.

Surrounded by unique designer furniture by Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno, Mario Bellini, and selected antiques, pretty much everything in the light-filled rooms with fishbone parquet is shoppable. Jerome Vintage also offers upcycled pieces under the label Jerome Studio, made from vintage and deadstock fabric.
