Local tips
- Come early in the day for the best selection, as most items are unique single pieces and can disappear quickly once the shop gets busy.
- Bring any clean, good-condition clothes you no longer use and donate them in-store or via the courtyard container to support the shop’s changing selection.
- Set a rough budget before you browse; the prices are low, and it is easy to pick up multiple impulse finds when you spot one-off pieces.
- If you are style-hunting, ask the volunteers when they have just put out new stock, as fresh donations are processed and steamed on an ongoing basis.
- Combine a visit with nearby cafés on Nørre Allé or Klostertorv to turn your shopping into a relaxed city-centre outing.

Discover more about Røde Kors Butik Krydsfelt
Fashionable second-hand in the middle of Aarhus
Røde Kors Butik Krydsfelt sits right in central Aarhus on Nørre Allé, blending in with the city’s busy cafés, bars and small boutiques. From the outside it looks more like a small fashion concept store than a traditional charity shop, with clean lines, simple displays and an urban feel that fits the neighbourhood. Inside, the focus is firmly on clothing and style. Racks are organised so you can browse like you would in a high-street shop, but here every hanger holds a one-of-a-kind piece that has been donated. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with a distinct sense of treasure hunting among neatly arranged rails.A curated wardrobe built from donations
Krydsfelt targets a young, fashion-aware audience, and that shows in what you find on the hangers. Volunteers select garments with an eye for current trends and good quality, so the mix ranges from everyday basics to bolder statement pieces, often with a Scandinavian twist. Before anything reaches the shop floor, it is sorted and steamed, giving the second-hand clothes a fresh, ready-to-wear feel. Alongside women’s and men’s clothing, you will see shoes, bags, belts, jewellery and seasonal items. Because everything comes from private donations, the stock changes constantly. A jacket that catches your eye will only exist in that one size; once it is gone, it really is gone, which adds a little urgency to the browsing.Self-service concept with long opening hours
One of the distinctive features of Krydsfelt is its partially unmanned setup. The shop keeps long daily opening hours, and when volunteers are not present you can still shop using a self-service system. That makes it easy to drop by early, late, or between other activities in the city, without being tied to traditional retail times. When volunteers are on duty, the experience becomes more social. Many are younger people who know the styles on the racks and can help you hunt down an outfit or suggest combinations. At times the shop hosts small themed openings or events that tap into the lively midtown atmosphere, from seasonal drops to student-focused happenings.Shopping that supports humanitarian work
As part of the Danish Red Cross network of reuse shops, Krydsfelt turns second-hand fashion into funding for social and humanitarian work. The proceeds help support local initiatives in Aarhus as well as broader Red Cross efforts. Buying a shirt or dress here has a direct charitable dimension, which is central to the character of the place. Donations are just as important as purchases. During opening hours you can hand clothing and accessories to the volunteers in the shop. Outside those hours, a dedicated Red Cross clothing container in the courtyard behind the building allows you to drop off bags of clothes at any time, feeding the constant flow of new stock.A sustainable and social approach to style
Krydsfelt also appeals to travellers and locals interested in more sustainable ways of dressing. By giving garments a second life, the shop reduces waste and offers an accessible alternative to fast fashion, often at very modest prices. The curated approach keeps it from feeling cluttered, so it is easy to see what is on offer and imagine how pieces fit into your own wardrobe. The combination of central location, contemporary style, self-service concept and charitable purpose gives Krydsfelt a personality that is different from both mainstream chains and traditional flea-market-style thrift stores. It is a small but distinctive stop where you can browse, chat with volunteers, and walk out with something unique that also supports a wider cause.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
