Local tips

  • Visit on a weekday early afternoon to browse more calmly between lunch and the post-work rush in the compact shop space.
  • Bring or note your sizes in European measurements, as many brands and fits vary and each piece is one-of-a-kind.
  • Focus first on outerwear, bags and shoes, where secondhand designer quality often offers the best value for money.
  • Allow extra time to try on items in the fitting room, especially coats and tailored garments that rely on precise fit.
  • Combine a visit with nearby cafés on Købmagergade to take a break, reflect on potential purchases and avoid impulse buys.

Discover more about Magnolias

Curated luxury in the heart of old Copenhagen

Magnolias occupies a small storefront on Købmagergade, one of central Copenhagen’s classic shopping streets, a few steps from the pedestrian buzz of Strøget. Inside, the atmosphere feels more like a boutique than a conventional thrift shop: organised rails, carefully styled mannequins and neatly displayed accessories create a sense of discovery without the clutter. The emphasis is on quality over quantity, with each item selected to fit a polished, urban Scandinavian wardrobe. Soft lighting, wooden fixtures and clean lines echo the city’s design sensibility, while the compact footprint means you can quickly scan everything and then circle back to favourites. It’s an easy place to duck into between major sights, whether you are building a capsule travel wardrobe or simply curious about how Copenhagen locals recycle high-end fashion.

Designer finds with a Copenhagen twist

Magnolias specialises in secondhand luxury and contemporary labels, from international fashion houses to Scandinavian designers that define the city’s look. Expect rails of tailored coats, minimalist dresses, statement knitwear, and accessories such as leather bags, shoes and silk scarves. Prices sit above typical charity shops, reflecting the brands and condition, but can be significantly lower than buying new. Because stock depends on consignment and trade-ins, the selection changes frequently. One visit might turn up a sharply cut blazer perfect for meetings, another a bold evening dress or a pair of well-made boots to handle cobblestones. For travellers, it can be a smart way to pick up weather-appropriate clothing or a memorable piece that you will associate with Copenhagen long after the trip.

Browsing experience in a compact space

The shop’s small size makes the experience focused and manageable. Clothing is typically arranged by type, with accessories clustered near the counter or in glass displays. You can move slowly from rack to rack, checking fabric quality and details without feeling overwhelmed. The mood is relaxed rather than rushed, and it is easy to step back, compare a few options and make a considered choice. Changing rooms allow you to try on items properly, which is especially valuable when dealing with varied cuts, older sizing systems and one-off pieces. The central location also means you can step outside for a moment, gauge how something feels in daylight, then return if it still calls to you.

Setting amid Copenhagen’s shopping streets

Købmagergade and the nearby stretch of Strøget form one of Copenhagen’s classic shopping corridors, mixing international brands, local boutiques and cafés. Magnolias taps into this energy while offering an alternative to fast fashion. Stepping out of the shop, you are immediately back among historic facades, street performers and the hum of bicycles cutting across the city centre. This context makes Magnolias easy to fold into a broader day of exploring. You might combine a visit with nearby cultural landmarks, coffee stops or a walk through the narrow side streets of the old town. Even if you leave without a purchase, it provides a window into how style-conscious locals extend the life of high-end clothing.

Secondhand fashion with a sustainable edge

While Magnolias is a commercial boutique rather than an environmental project, its secondhand focus naturally supports more sustainable shopping habits. Buying pre-owned garments reduces demand for new production and gives high-quality pieces a longer life. For travellers trying to minimise their footprint, choosing a pre-loved coat or dress here can feel like a small but meaningful shift. The curated approach also helps newcomers to secondhand shopping: instead of sifting through endless rails, you are presented with a distilled selection of items that fit a certain standard. It is an accessible way to experiment with circular fashion, whether you are upgrading a single outfit for a special evening in Copenhagen or adding a statement piece to your everyday wardrobe.
