A wonderful place to stop for yourself or to buy a piece as a present. I highly recommend. Also stop nearby at coffee collective for cafe or Grod for specialty porridge. A wonderful street to explore in a hip area.

I'm a big fan of Christmas, and so I was pretty excited to come and look at the ornaments and…read moredecorations (in May...) Unfortunately I wasn't all that impressed. It's an underground shop, full of lots of things but not a lot seemed to be of much quality. I had hoped to find handmade things by local producers and I only found a couple such things. Prices are on the high side, too. Overall I was just disappointed, but luckily I hadn't gone too far out of my way to come so it's forgivable. I think I'll stick with my Christmas markets in the future.

Cute little shop in Vesterbro. Local handmade goods. Bought a cute ring. Service was excellent…read more Got very busy while I was there. Seems to be a well loved store.

Anders (the guy behind Handcraftedcph) was so wonderful to work with. My husband and I ordered our…read morewedding bands from him and they came out better than we could have ever imagined. We've gotten so many compliments on our rings and their unique and well made designs. Anders was so easy to work with via Facebook messenger and it was so easy to find his shop on Sønder Boulevard. When my husband picked up our wedding bands I also had him get two pairs of small earrings and Anders gave us a small discount on everything :) I will absolutely be going back to him for more jewelry in the future. His store is perfectly situation in Vesterbro among cute coffee shops and boutique stores. A great little stop on the weekend if you want to check out some beautifully crafted Danish design and jewelry. He also collects antiques and vintage home items, which he also sells in his store. The store itself is pretty small there are some cute benches outside to sit and enjoy a coffee or put on the jewelry you just bought :) Bonus note: His instagram feed is beautiful and is a great way to see all of his jewelry online.

Now goes by the name Viking. Fantastic selection of papers, notebooks, sketchbooks, canvas,…read morepencils, pens and markers, chalks, drafting supplies, etc. The people working there were friendly and helpful and the prices were great on a several items I have trouble finding in the US (Leuchterm sketch books were about half the price I pay for them in the US and Sakura Pigma Micron pens were about 75% of what I find them for in US stores). I highly recommend this place!

This is really a great stationery and art supply shop. They have the best selection on Viking…read moreleather pouches and pencil cases. They also have a fantastic selection of journals for writing & sketching. Oh my gosh, the paper! Such good paper at this store. If you are a watercolor artist, this is your go-to place. I can't say enough good things about this shop. The staff is friendly and the selection is out of this world!

I had been here about ten years ago was delighted to be able to visit again. This store is filled…read morewith jewelery, ceramics and crafts by local designers. I saw a jewelry workshop on the main floor and a table workshop on the bottom floor. The tables are gorgeous and highly customizable. I wish I could have brought one of those tables home with me but fortunately was able to snag a gorgeous serving tray by the same designer (Kartsen Lauritsen) I love buying the jewelry and ceramics as gifts and it's such an added treat to support local artists. I really enjoyed that on my most recent visit they give you info cards for the designers of the items I purchased.

I came here with a group of expat friends for a monthly meet up and had a lovely time. The space…read moreitself is so modern and is quite large, so it's great if you're looking for a place to do a friend gathering, birthday party, etc. They have a really great selection of items to paint, many of which come from Italy so they're nice quality. Unlike some of the paint-your-own-item shops I've been to in the past, this one is very adult friendly regarding the items available to paint. You can paint tea pots, cake stands, etc. I painted two egg cups and paid 149kr for the set. Everything is included in that price so you don't have to pay extra if you use a special paint or stencil, which is great because you can be really creative without worrying about racking up a huge bill. They sere coffee, tea and wine so if you're there painting for a while you can also get a bit tipsy if you're not careful ;) Keep in mind that when you're done panting your item they will keep it at the store to bake it in the oven so the paint will set and this will take one week. If you live in the area it's not a problem, but if you're just in town for a few days it's probably not the best activity since you won't get your item back. Overall, great experience! It's really nice to have a place to go with someone if you aren't interested in eating/drinking anything.

I tried Creative Space for the first time today, and I absolutely loved it! I can already tell I'll…read morebe back many times... First off, the concept is awesome. Instead of "just" sitting around and drinking coffee, you can actually get creative and work with your hands. Super relaxing, and at the end of the day, you feel a little sense of achievement (even though it takes a week until you can actually pick up your finished item). They have over 150 different base ceramics to choose from - starting from classic cups, plates, bowls, and vases in all shapes and sizes, to niftier items like soap dispensers, salt and pepper shakers, and little statues of horses or dinosaurs that would be fun for kids to paint. Prices start at 150kr and include glazing and burning the ceramics for you. You book seats for 2 hours, and after a brief introduction by the very friendly and helpful staff, you can get creative with brushes, sponges, stencils, and of course a variety of colors to choose from. They also serve coffee, hot chocolate, juices and water, so it feels more like a cozy, creative cafe rather than a workshop. I can't wait to pick up my awesome salad/ pasta bowl next week!

Being kind of a stationary geek I really enjoy the large selection and the way the products were presented.
