Shopping Spotlight

 Bag heaven 

In the centre of copenhagen, the shop, Collector’s cages walls are embellished with vintage designer bags arranged in colour order. Brands like Louis vuitton, chanel, Bottega veneta and Dior were sprawled across the shop, including particularly rare pieces such as the Louis vuitton green denim mini pleaty. My personal favorite was the Fendi Baguette bags as they had a few unique ones that I had never seen before (If only I weren’t a broke uni student). The store aslo had a hermes birkin bag,that was £17,000, of course, incased in a locked glass box, alongside some other chanel flaps. From spending a few days in copenhagen, you can tell it is quite common to have vintage designer bags, as everywhere I turned I was in awe of the unique bags girls our age had.

Hay 

Copenhagen is home to the headquarters of the voguish homeware brand, Hay . Their two story showroom and store was a thing of dreams. Every corner was decorated perfectly, filled with glorious lighting, branded shopping bags, crockery, cutlery, shelving, furniture and even various articles of clothing. The inspiration for Hay’s products are drawn from three main aspects of art, architecture and fashion.
