I know I have been skeptical toward second hand shops lately, but this place is a treasure trove!!…read more The first floor is reserved for big stuff as furnitures on the front and more delicate items on the back. You are dreaming of owning one of those old fashioned vases that used to adorn your grandmother's living room? You'd probably find it here. Also looking for Christmas album CD anno 1995 featuring WHAM and the likes? You'd also probably find it here. The big hit for me is on the second floor. Up the stairs and to the left they have very comfy designed library-lookalike with rows and rows books for sale with price tags showing fractions of what the original prices were. Books sold here are extremely in good condition, unlike in several "Antikvariet" I have been to, but there are obviously newer books too. To put it shortly, if you're about to give someone a book as a present from here, they wouldn't know if it's second hand and it's good for the whole saving environment stuff isn't it? Less trees to fell for your books. Next to the book room, there's the children articles occupying the space. Clothing, toys, you name it. On the right side of the upper room there is the second hand clothing area. They all look in very good condition, I guess The Red Cross is very good at vetting these clothing. I did a browse to see if there's anything I like. Alas, I'm quite picky when it comes to clothing. But hey, it's worth checking out, and when you need to give (Christmas) presents, this place is maybe worth to look at.

I almost dont want to tell people about this place because I love it so much. In one week in…read moreCopenhagen I visited four times. FOUR TIMES! So, listen, OSV is one of those places that has constantly rotation selection of items, so it is different every day. People come in and sell their stuff, and then you buy it. Some of the items are gently used, some are brand new with the tags still on. The majority are high-end local brands like Acne, Malene Birger, and Wood Wood. The place is pretty small, so they have a pretty limited selection, but it is all top quality. No digging! They have mostly clothing, but also some shoes, bags and accessories as well. Good news for men! They have a good mens section as well with Trigger, Han Kopenhagen, raw denim jeans, etc. This place is a gem. Dont miss it.

There are truly a lot of great bargains to be found here, and stumbling upon brands like Thom Browne, Junya Watanabe, ACNE and YSL at very fair prices would not come as a surprise. I can only give O-S-V my best recommendations, so make sure to find your way to the little shop whenever you need to satisfy your need for something new in your wardrobe!

This store is hard to miss as you walk by on Istedgade, and even harder not to walk into. From the…read moreracks outside and items in their window, one can tell there's going to be a lot of god finds in the store. They have a wide variety, such as clothes, housewares, records, and furniture. My particular favorites were many of the sets of glasses and cups. If I wasn't afraid they'd break traveling (and had some extra room at home), I would surely have taken away my fair share.

I spent some hours walking around Copenhagen, and of all the vintage shops I went to I liked Prag…read morethe best. Mainly because of their organized shop space, but of course also because of the prices. In appearances, It's quite similar to Episode in some way, except way cheaper and not that much of a "hip" atmosphere they reach for at Episode. When I walked into Prag, I felt like I walked into my grandmas gigantic closet - and that is exactly the feeling I want to have when I visit a vintage shop. I bought a pair of Levi's jeans for 180 dkk, but if I had the time I would easily have ended up buying much more stuff. They had all sorts of dresses, organized by decade and styles (like "Little black dresses" or dresses with waaaay to much glitter and glam), shirts and jackets, and even some seriously cool and crazy swim wear. I nearly bought a swimming suit that looked liked someone had puked flowers all over it, but sadly I didn't have the time to try it on. The girl who worked there was really nice and service minded, and she could answer all the questions I had without the slightest touch of arrogance. That I think, is a really good attitude to have when you work in a vintage shop. I often tend to meet people behaving in the other direction in these kind of shops. Prag felt homey that way. If I ever go to Copenhagen again - I will certainly be back! With lots of money and time on my hands...

Depending on what you're looking for, B&W is either a great flea market or a subpar one. For…read moremidcentury teak furniture, B&W is the jackpot. There are just piles and piles of dressers, tables, chairs, and sofas. Most of the furniture is wood and most of it seems to be midcentury modern with a large range of quality and prices. If you are looking for a Luxo lamp, this is also a good place to come as they have a large selection. The stands or stalls here are not so defined, everything sort of merges into each other. Some stalls have mobile numbers posted so I guess you can call the owner if you want to buy something and they are not around. In terms of clothes, accessories, and jewelry, this is not a very good flea market at all. The interesting thing about this place is really the old ship yard space itself. The open trusses are beautiful. The best vantage point in the building is certainly the elevated platform which holds hundreds (if not thousands) of wooden chairs. From there, you get a bird's-eye view of the flea market around you. The coolest thing I found there was a vintage blue phone booth. But there was no way I could take that home =(

I really like this place. I'm gonna start off with the…read morenegative, which is that it's quite expensive. Especially since some of it is 2nd hand - that should not cost more than a new item. Nevertheless, they have really unique items of clothing, and if you're looking for band shirts this is definitely the place to go. They have so many unique items - not just clothing, but jewellery, sunglasses, shoes and the likes of it! You're always met with a smile when you enter, which makes you feel nice and welcome. Be warned that some of the people working there don't speak Danish, so you'll just have to brush up on your English skills ;) If you're looking for unique and special clothes that you might think are impossible to find - this is your best shot!

Hmmm. This place is…read morepretty expensive and I don't know if they really go for quality. I mean, you can have a Merona dress from Target cost more than a Ralph Lauren blazer just because its more fabric. That kind of stuff bothers me. There are some awesome things, but like 300DKK for a button up used guys shirt that's falling apart and isn't any specific brand seems ridiculous if its second hand. If you're gonna spend money like that, go get something new or better quality. Also, the changing rooms are right in the center of everything, and the fabric is too small and falling apart, so you're really awkwardly showing off your underwear to whoever walks by. 3 stars because they have an awesomely enormous selection of stuff.

My Swedish friend is a DJ and wanted to show me some cool record shops in his neighborhood of…read moreMalmö. This was the first shop he brought me to and it was really cool. It was nice to see the "record shop culture" is truly universal. The owners couldn't have been any cooler, and man do they know their stuff. Even if you may not be a fan or follower of a certain type of music, a record store owner will still know all about it. As soon as we came in and did our introductions, the owner (knowing my friend is a hip hop DJ) pulls out a record he just got in, and played a "break" for him. My friend is a pro, yet he had never heard this break before. And that is the beauty of the record shop. You can listen to music for decades, and yet there will always be something you don't know about. Whether you dig for it yourself, or the shop owner will bust something out to show you- the finding of a new gem is an amazing feeling, and what keeps you digging for more, never ending. This shop had a wide range of genres, not to mention an impressive amount of music, for the size of the store. It was broken down into three rooms. There was also a very nice selection of 45s (7") as well. Had I not been moving on to Denmark and Russia after Sweden, I would have walked out of there with a huge stack of records. Another surprise I saw was a good amount of cassette tapes, which for good or bad is starting to make a come back as well. I can't wait to get back to this shop again, so I can have a proper dig, and be able to bring some of it home.

To me it seemed like they had what would be the best items from a really good loppemarked. Didn't end up buying anything, but the prices seemed pretty fair. I noticed they have a lot of set of things (chairs, cups, etc) that you could buy all together. The woman working there was very nice and offered to answer any questions I had. They also sell teas and you can buy a coffee there as well.

I have been a big fan of the brand for a long time and have visited this Archive store + purchased…read moreon several occasions. I also work with retail and Education with 15+ experience. My visit yesterday however was probably the worst client service given in my life - I can take that minimal service given since a few days before Christmas but the fact the store had two staff members of which one ignored my request of checking for a size, the second male staff talked very loudly with someone he knew in terms of going to interviews for other jobs and very clear his mind was not in the store. Anyway I asked to put two items on hold since I wanted to show my best friend the following morning - I was told it was only possible until end of day which I said was fine since I would arrive for the opening the following morning. When we arrived today at 11.01 the store was not opened and no staff in sight - we waited 15 minutes and then the staff arrived. I asked to try the pieces reserved; which she first couldnt find since he never took my name so she had to ring the guy putting them on hold and to find out he sold one of the pieces after I left. She had the weirdest reasoning for this and almost felt like this was a natural thing happening and that the dress I was planning to buy was no longer available. With this I also want to say we later visited the Acne Studio store in the city; and even if only one staff and several clients she gave excellent service and was super helpful to everyone in store.
