Local tips
- Plan to visit late morning or early afternoon on weekdays for a calmer browsing experience, as the shop’s compact space can feel busy later in the day.
- Arrive with a rough idea of what your wardrobe is missing—such as a coat, dress or bag—so you can focus on finding one or two special, long-lasting pieces.
- Pay attention to fabric labels and construction details; many items are heritage designer pieces that reward a closer look at seams, linings and finishes.
- Combine your stop here with nearby galleries or cafés in central Copenhagen to make a relaxed half-day exploring fashion, design and coffee spots on foot.
- If you fall in love with something, decide quickly; the most distinctive vintage and designer items are usually one-offs and unlikely to be found again in another size.

Discover more about The Wilde Shop
A curated treasure chest in the heart of Copenhagen
The Wilde Shop sits on Store Kongensgade, a short stroll from some of Copenhagen’s most elegant streets, yet it feels like its own self-contained world. From the moment you step inside, the space feels more like a small gallery than a conventional second-hand store. Racks are deliberately spaced, colours are considered, and every hanger carries a piece with a story. There is none of the usual clutter; instead, the focus is entirely on quality, fabric and silhouette. The atmosphere is intimate and calm, inviting you to slow down and explore. You will find a tightly edited mix of vintage garments, heritage labels and modern second-hand pieces that complement rather than compete with one another. It is the kind of place where you can build a small, powerful wardrobe rather than a pile of impulse buys.From flea markets to a destination boutique
The shop is the creation of Edda Hansen, who studied art in London before selling vintage finds from flea markets and developing a sharp eye for unusual cuts and textures. Years in New York’s fashion world refined that vision, and she later relocated to Copenhagen, spending several years sourcing pieces across Europe and beyond before eventually opening The Wilde Shop. This background gives the boutique a distinctly international sensibility. You might spot a Parisian silk dress hanging beside a sculptural jacket with clear 1980s influences, or a minimalist Scandinavian coat next to a playful printed blouse. The emphasis is on garments with integrity: strong construction, interesting lines and a look that feels current without being trend driven.Heritage labels, statement pieces and everyday heroes
On the shelves and rails, you can expect designer vintage clothing, collectible handbags and jewellery chosen for character rather than logos alone. Structured leather bags, ruffled dresses, sharp tailoring and well-cut denim often share space here, along with delicate blouses and statement outerwear that can anchor an entire outfit. Prices sit in the mid to high range, reflecting the condition and provenance of the pieces, but the emphasis on longevity makes them feel like long-term investments. Many visitors use the shop to find one standout item—a dress for a special night out, a forever coat, a distinctive accessory—that will quietly transform everything else in their wardrobe.Aesthetic details and thoughtful atmosphere
The interior design mirrors the clothing philosophy: clean, minimal lines, neutral tones and carefully chosen display furniture that lets the garments breathe. Lighting is gentle yet precise, highlighting textures in wool, silk and leather. Small vignettes of accessories and jewellery add moments of discovery, encouraging you to linger a little longer at each corner. Music is kept at a level that supports browsing rather than dominating it, adding to the relaxed, almost contemplative feel of the space. The shop’s relatively compact footprint means it never feels overwhelming, and you can comfortably view most of the selection within an hour while still having room to zoom in on details that catch your eye.Slow fashion and Copenhagen’s creative fashion scene
The Wilde Shop is part of Copenhagen’s growing slow-fashion landscape, where reworked wardrobes and conscious choices sit comfortably alongside the city’s design heritage. By focusing on carefully sourced pre-loved pieces, the boutique offers a tangible alternative to fast fashion and encourages a more personal, long-term relationship with clothing. For fashion-focused travellers, it doubles as a quiet window into how style and sustainability intersect in the Danish capital. Whether you leave with a favourite new piece or just fresh inspiration for your own wardrobe back home, the shop offers a compact but memorable glimpse of Copenhagen’s creative fashion spirit.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
