Discover more about MadebyMichelle
A neighborhood studio with a personal touch
MadebyMichelle sits quietly on Ansvej, a tree-lined street just outside Silkeborg’s commercial core, blending into the residential façades around it. Step through the door and you enter a compact, light-filled space that feels more like an atelier than a standard high-street shop. Here the emphasis is on crafted details, small-batch pieces and direct contact with the maker, rather than rails of mass-produced accessories. The scale is intimate: a few carefully arranged displays, a worktable with tools neatly laid out, and shelves that showcase the current collection. That modest size is part of its charm; every item gets space to breathe, and it is easy to survey the full range at a glance before you start exploring textures and colours up close.Handcrafted accessories with Scandinavian sensibility
The core of MadebyMichelle’s appeal lies in its accessories, which reflect a Scandinavian eye for clean lines, practicality and subtle character. Expect a mix of everyday pieces and small statement items, designed to slot into a modern, casual wardrobe rather than dominate it. Materials and finishes tend to favour durability and comfort, inviting regular use rather than special-occasion storage. You may find coordinated sets, small seasonal colour stories or one-off designs that experiment slightly with pattern and form. The overall impression, however, remains cohesive and understated. This is a place to refine your look with a few well-chosen details rather than overhaul it completely.A working schedule that rewards planning
The studio keeps limited, clearly defined hours, which means a visit rewards a bit of forethought. Most weekday openings are concentrated in the late morning, with a slightly longer window on Fridays. There are no regular weekend hours, reinforcing the feeling that you are visiting a working maker rather than a conventional retail outlet. Inside, that rhythm translates into an unhurried atmosphere. Without the constant flow of passers-by you often get time and space to browse slowly, ask questions about individual pieces and discuss ideas for future purchases. For visitors who appreciate a quieter, more deliberate shopping experience, these rhythms are part of the attraction.Silkeborg backdrop and local character
Outside, everyday Silkeborg life continues around the store: cyclists passing along the street, residents tending gardens and the soft backdrop of a Midtjylland town known for its lakes and forested surroundings. MadebyMichelle feels anchored in this local context, closer to a home studio than a downtown flagship. That setting encourages you to fold a visit into a wider day in Silkeborg. It works well as a focused stop for those seeking something made at a local address rather than an anonymous online purchase. The residential location also contributes to a calmer ambience, free from the background noise of a busy shopping centre.A small stop for style-focused travelers
For travelers who enjoy discovering independent designers, MadebyMichelle functions as a compact but satisfying stop. Time spent here tends to be concentrated: a short visit to browse, chat and perhaps choose a gift or personal keepsake. The modest scale makes it easy to combine with café breaks, lakeside walks or museum visits elsewhere in town. It is not a destination for full-day browsing or a vast selection of brands; instead, it offers a window into one designer’s aesthetic and process. That focus is precisely what sets it apart, making a detour to this quiet corner of Silkeborg feel more like calling in on a creative neighbour than entering a typical retail store.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
