A Copenhagen vintage institution on Krystalgade

Time’s Up Vintage sits on a cobbled stretch of Krystalgade, in Copenhagen’s historic center, surrounded by independent boutiques and contemporary Danish designers. Step through the door and the street noise softens, replaced by low music and the soft rustle of hangers. The boutique is compact yet airy, with high ceilings, good natural light and densely packed rails that invite slow browsing. The shop is laid out to feel like a small fashion house: garments grouped by mood and silhouette rather than by era alone. Mannequins styled in full looks offer ideas for how to blend a vintage piece into a modern wardrobe. Shelving and display cases are neatly arranged, making it easy to scan without feeling overwhelmed.

Designer names and rare one‑off treasures

What sets Time’s Up apart is its focus on high‑quality vintage. The rails hold names like Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci, Versace, Chanel and Valentino, alongside lesser‑known labels and unbranded pieces chosen for cut and fabric. Many items fall in the 1960s–1990s range: structured ’60s coats, fluid ’70s dresses, power‑shoulder ’80s tailoring and minimalist ’90s denim and slip dresses. Accessories are a big part of the hunt here. Expect belts, costume jewellery, scarves and bags that can transform an otherwise simple outfit. Quality is obvious in the feel of the textiles, from heavy wool and tweed to silk linings and well‑finished seams. Pieces are generally in good condition, with wear that adds character rather than distracting flaws.

A Nordic eye for silhouette and styling

The shop’s buying philosophy leans toward a distinctly Nordic sensibility: clean lines, interesting proportions and an emphasis on how garments move. Even the more flamboyant sequined jackets or patterned blouses are chosen with an editor’s eye, so they feel bold but wearable. It is easy to build an entire look that feels current while clearly rooted in another decade. Staff are usually happy to suggest combinations, whether you are after a statement coat, a single standout accessory or a full event outfit. The atmosphere is fashion‑forward yet relaxed; there is no pressure to buy quickly, and taking time to pull items from different eras is part of the appeal.

Shopping experience and typical visit

Because the boutique is relatively small, it rewards unhurried browsing rather than a rushed in‑and‑out visit. Many visitors focus on a few categories: outerwear and tailoring, denim, or occasionwear. Trying items on is almost essential here, as vintage sizing varies widely. Prices reflect the curated selection and the presence of major designer labels, so Time’s Up sits above typical thrift‑store budgets but below blue‑chip luxury boutiques. It is a strong place to look for a single investment piece with history, especially if you enjoy the idea that no one else at home will be wearing the same thing.

In the heart of a design‑loving neighborhood

Time’s Up benefits from its location among other style‑conscious shops. The immediate area mixes heritage architecture with contemporary storefronts, making it ideal for a broader fashion‑focused stroll. Large windows at the front of the boutique frame curated looks on display, tempting passersby inside. Whether you are a dedicated vintage collector or just curious about adding one distinctive garment to your suitcase, the store offers a compact but inspiring immersion in decades of fashion seen through a Copenhagen lens.
