A Collector's Vision Brought to Life
The Wilde Shop emerged from the personal journey of founder Edda Hansen, who studied art in London before immersing herself in the fashion world across multiple continents. After years working in New York's competitive fashion industry, Hansen relocated to Copenhagen in 2014 with a singular vision: to curate a collection of vintage pieces that transcended typical second-hand shopping. What began as inspirational photography and personal acquisitions from global travels evolved into a carefully considered boutique that has earned recognition from Vogue as Copenhagen's "wildly creative vintage mecca."Curated Collections with Character
The shop distinguishes itself through its thoughtful curation of heritage designer vintage pieces combined with modern second-hand clothing. Rather than offering mass-market vintage, The Wilde Shop focuses on items with genuine character and exceptional condition. The inventory spans vibrant dresses, ruffled blouses, collectible handbags from iconic brands, distinctive jewelry, and vintage accessories that help customers develop signature personal style. Each piece reflects Hansen's discerning eye and her commitment to quality over quantity.The Shopping Experience
Located at Store Kongensgade 22 in Copenhagen's central district, the boutique occupies an intimate space designed to inspire rather than overwhelm. The carefully organized displays invite browsing and discovery, with pieces arranged to encourage customers to envision how items might complement their existing wardrobes. The atmosphere balances accessibility with exclusivity, welcoming both seasoned vintage collectors and newcomers exploring heritage fashion for the first time.Investment in Sustainable Style
The Wilde Shop represents a conscious approach to fashion consumption, championing the principles of sustainability through designer vintage curation. By offering pre-loved heritage pieces and modern second-hand clothing, the boutique encourages a more environmentally aware relationship with fashion. Each purchase represents both a personal style investment and a commitment to reducing fashion's environmental footprint, aligning with growing global consciousness around sustainable consumption.Price and Positioning
The shop's pricing reflects the exceptional quality, rarity, and condition of its collections. Mid to high-range pricing acknowledges the heritage value of designer pieces and the careful work involved in sourcing and curating inventory. This positioning attracts discerning shoppers who view vintage fashion as investment pieces rather than disposable trends, seeking items that will endure and appreciate in personal significance over time.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
