GUIDE TO COPENHAGEN

2025 - the year of newness! As the AW25 season approaches, Copenhagen presents itself as an attractive hub for new opportunities. On that note, Oldstrom has created a fresh guide to Copenhagen from where to stay to where to eat - this is a must save post.

 

BAKERIES ON BAKERIES

Denmark is infamous for its first-class patisseries, and a trip to Copenhagen would not be complete without testing out their universally-loved sweet treats. The Creative Director of one of Copenhagen’s most renowned bakeries, Hart Bageri, says that; “There’s a deep connection between culture and food, especially baked goods in Denmark, and it’s a country that empowers you to enjoy a conversation with a colleague, friend or family member over a shared treat”. Here are our top bakeries you need to try:

 

EATS

Sticking to the theme of food, our next category is where to eat! Copenhagen is the Nordic city with the most Michelin star restaurants and has an up and coming street food scene. Not to mention the Danes are known for having some of the highest quality fresh fish and organic produce, making Copenhagen the ultimate foodie Mecca. From open-sandwiches to high dining - this is where we recommend:

 

WHERE TO STAY

We all know fashion never sleeps (but we do) and after the chaos of Copenhagen you need a place to rest your head. Oldstrom has tried and tested these boutique hotels and we can confirm that you will be in good hands. Explore places to stay:

 

FIKA:


In typical Scandi style, we had to include the best coffee spots to take a moment for Fika. Fika is a traditional cultural practice originating from Sweden that means to take a moment to appreciate life, check in with friends and family, typically with a coffee in hand. Copenhagen has a variety of first class breweries across the city, it was tough but we managed to narrow down coffee shops that are worth a visit:

Please do let us know if you try any of our recommendations. Happy buying!

EVERYTHING WE HAVE BEEN UP TO IN MAY

In-store events, exciting new collections, a showcase in Milan and a road trip to Scotland. Take a look at everything we have been up to in May over on our socials and in the highlights below.

AN EXCLUSIVE SHOPPING EVENT

Caroline and Beanie were thrilled to be a part of the exclusive shopping event at the lovely Moda Rosa Boutique, back at the beginning of May.

It was such a wonderful event showcasing Oldstrom brands including Dea Kudibal, Valérie Khalfon and Caroline Svedbom.

WINTER 24 AND PRE-SPRING 25 COLLECTIONS

This month we have been introducing our customers to beautiful new collections from both Dea Kudibal and Mei MeiJ. Both collections include transitional pieces that will help to refresh rails between the Christmas and early New Year period.

A TRIP TO MILAN

Caroline and Julie got to preview the Mei MeiJ Pre-spring 25 collection during a flying, 24-hour trip to Milan. They also managed to fit in a little sight-seeing and of course, stopped long enough to sit and enjoy some pizza and Aperol Spritz.

A SCOTTISH ROAD TRIP

Lois and Julia spent a week up in Scotland, visiting our lovely stockists and lots of new stores. It was a very productive trip and the girls thoroughly enjoyed their time up in such a beautiful part of the UK.

A 20TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION!

The team at Gunnel’s Fashion Marbella had their 20th Anniversary this May. They celebrated the milestone in the best way possible, with a big party including a presentation from Caroline Svedbom and a fabulous, multi-brand fashion show.

Caroline was excited to attend the event in Marbella and saw so many of our brands highlighted throughout the day!
