I’ve seen several clothing shops so far in Copenhagen, but Pede & Stoffer was the most sophisticated I saw all day. It’s tucked away on Klosterstrade, a side street downtown. The shop had all the usual wearables, clothing, some small sneaker brands, and other nice accessories. They had several lines I hadn’t heard of, from around europe, and local to Denmark. My dollar doesn’t hold a candle against the Danish Kroner here, so everything seemed a bit expensive. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the shop girls were a wonderful help. A few doors down on the same side of the street there is a women’s Pede & Stoffer, similar setup, different merchandise. Klosterstræde 15, 1157 København K, 33 33 88 30

Makr, is a small label designed by a young, 24 year old, self taught leatherworker from Florida–who started making his first leather goods out of a beautiful antique camera bag that was passed down to him by his grandfather. He cut apart the leather, and experimented with the material. He put it in an industrial laser at the local architecture firm he was working at, and soon thereafter he had his first hand sewn and designed wallet– the results are exquisite. He ended up buying the laster and it sits in his garage, where he makes beautiful bags, and wallets like these. As far as I know he isn’t selling them, but I’m sure if we nag on him enough he’ll get some distribution and more products out!
