Røde Kors Butik Skagen
A cosy Red Cross charity shop in Skagen where second-hand treasures, local warmth and global humanitarian work come together under one modest roof.
Røde Kors Butik Skagen on Buttervej is a welcoming second-hand shop where North Jutland’s coastal charm meets conscious consumption. Run largely by volunteers, the store is packed with pre-loved clothing, homeware and curiosities, with finds that range from practical outdoor wear for Skagen’s windswept shores to retro Danish design pieces. Shopping here feels relaxed and neighbourly, and every krone you spend helps fund Red Cross relief and social projects in Denmark and abroad.

Local tips
- Check the limited opening hours in advance and aim for mid-morning or early afternoon on open days to have time for a slow browse.
- Bring a reusable tote or small backpack, as you may find bulky items like books, ceramics or knitwear that benefit from gentle transport.
- If you have space in your luggage, consider donating good-quality clothes or gear at the start of your trip and returning later to shop.
- Look closely at seasonal rails; in coastal Skagen, you can often find practical outdoor layers at much lower prices than new gear.
- Have a few Danish kroner or a contactless card ready, and round up your total if you wish to add a little extra support to Red Cross work.

Charity shop with a Skagen soul
Røde Kors Butik Skagen brings the international Red Cross spirit into a cosy North Jutland setting. Tucked away on Buttervej, a little back from Skagen’s busiest streets, this is the kind of place locals drop into on a weekly basis, where volunteers greet you by the door and the pace is unhurried. The focus is simple: give good-quality items a second life and turn them into support for humanitarian work. Step inside and you are immediately surrounded by rails of clothing, tables of housewares and small displays that change with the seasons. The atmosphere feels more like a community living room than a regular shop; conversations flow easily and there is time to browse slowly, item by item.What you will find on the shelves
The assortment reflects both everyday Danish life and Skagen’s seaside location. You can expect women’s, men’s and children’s clothing, often including warm knitwear, rain jackets and sturdy shoes suited to the windy coast. There are usually shelves of glassware, ceramics, kitchen tools and table linens, ideal if you are staying in a rental house and want to add a little character without spending much. Scattered among the basics, you may spot vintage lamps, framed prints, small pieces of furniture and occasional mid-century design treasures. Holidaymakers often donate books and board games at the end of their stay, so there is a good chance of finding something to read for the journey onward or a puzzle for a quiet evening indoors.How your purchase makes a difference
Behind the modest prices lies a clear purpose. The shop is part of the wider Red Cross network in Denmark, where proceeds are channelled into both local and international projects. That can mean support for vulnerable families and elderly people in the area, as well as emergency relief when crises strike elsewhere in the world. Volunteers sort and price donations, keeping waste to a minimum by selecting items that can genuinely be reused. Donating here gives your belongings another life; buying here extends that cycle further, keeping textiles and household goods in circulation rather than sending them to landfill.Planning your visit and browsing in comfort
Opening hours are limited compared with mainstream stores, so a bit of planning helps. The shop typically opens on selected weekdays and Saturday mornings, with lunchtime or early afternoon a comfortable time to browse without rushing. Space is compact but navigable, with clear sections and a simple layout. You can easily combine a stop here with other explorations in Skagen, using the shop as a short, pleasant break from the harbour and galleries. Allow time to scan the racks carefully: the best finds often hide between more ordinary pieces, and part of the pleasure is the quiet search.Local flavour, warm encounters
Beyond the goods on sale, one of the shop’s biggest draws is its human side. Many of the volunteers are long-time Skagen residents, happy to chat about life in a town at the tip of Denmark or share practical tips for the area. The atmosphere is friendly rather than pushy; you are free to look around at your own pace. Visiting Røde Kors Butik Skagen gives you a small but authentic glimpse into everyday community life behind the tourist façade. You leave not only with something tangible in your bag, but also with the knowledge that your visit has contributed in a modest way to helping others.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
