Look At This, Ryttergade 12

A small, curated clothing store tucked inside a redbrick former textile factory, where Odense’s industrial past meets calm, contemporary Scandinavian style.

Tucked into the redbrick industrial courtyards of Ryttergade 12 in central Odense, Look At This is a small clothing store with a creative, almost studio-like feel. Housed in a former textile factory now converted into mixed housing and workspaces, the shop trades on atmosphere as much as apparel: high ceilings, traces of old industry and a calm courtyard setting make browsing feel unhurried and local. It is the kind of place you stumble upon between more obvious sights and remember for its character rather than its size.

A fashion stop in a former textile quarter

Look At This sits at Ryttergade 12, in a pocket of Odense where brick industrial buildings once hummed with textile production. Today, those same walls frame a more intimate kind of fashion experience. The shop occupies part of a complex that has been carefully converted into a mix of homes and workspaces, and you sense that heritage as soon as you step inside: high windows, solid walls and an almost workshop-like calm. The clothing selection leans toward contemporary Scandinavian style, with clean lines, muted tones and pieces that work for everyday city life. Racks are usually edited rather than overflowing, so it is easy to see each item and build outfits in your head as you move through the room.

Industrial bones and modern details

The immediate surroundings are a large part of the appeal. Ryttergade 12 is known locally as a former textile factory with redbrick facades, original stairwells and a surprising amount of decorative detail for an industrial site. Those bones give Look At This a backdrop of aged brick, long corridors and glimpses of inner courtyards that soften the retail setting. Inside, the shop tends to contrast those rougher textures with lighter shelving, mirrors and curated displays. Clothing is grouped in small story-like clusters – a knit beside tailored trousers, a dress flanked by the right jacket – which invites a slower browse rather than a rushed grab-and-go visit.

A calm corner in central Odense

Although the address is only a short walk from Odense’s busier shopping streets, the courtyard setting creates a noticeable quiet. You are close to the city’s main arteries, yet once you enter the complex you hear more footsteps on stone and the murmur from nearby offices than traffic. That makes the store a useful pause point during a day in town. You can step in, take a moment to regroup, and browse without the sense of being pushed along by crowds. Natural light from the old factory windows helps with colour choices, and the compact size means you can scan everything without feeling overwhelmed.

Local character over big-brand flash

Look At This is not a flagship for a single major label, nor a high-street chain. Its strength lies instead in offering a focused, personal take on clothing in a setting that feels deeply tied to Odense’s history. The building around you once housed loom-filled production floors; now it hosts small-scale ventures like this, continuing the textile story in a quieter, more curated form. Because the shop is relatively small, stock can shift with the seasons: lighter fabrics and soft colours in the brighter months, heavier knits and layers when the Danish winter settles in. Dropping by at different times of year can reveal new combinations in familiar surroundings.

Fitting into a wider day in the city

Most visitors will pair a stop here with other experiences in Odense’s centre, from cultural sights to café breaks. Look At This works well as a targeted detour: you can be in and out in half an hour, or linger longer if you enjoy considering fabrics and cuts. The building’s mix of residential and workspace gives the area a lived-in feel, so you are shopping alongside locals going about their day rather than in a purely commercial mall. Whether you leave with a carefully chosen piece or simply a mental note of the space, the combination of industrial heritage and contemporary style makes this a small but distinctive dot on Odense’s fashion map.
