This has become my go-to “treasure hunt” spot whenever I travel to Denmark. This hidden gem is Henrik Vibskov’s ARCHIVE STORE, where you can find mainly past-season pieces curated from an archive perspective – making it a truly special shop. The space is packed with colorful, one-of-a-kind vibes, and it feels less like a regular clothing store and more like a mini exhibition.
Store: Henrik Vibskov – Archive Store (Archive Boutique)
Address: J. C. Jacobsens Gade 26, København, Danmark
Hours: Thu–Sun 12:00–18:00 (Closed Mon–Wed)
Area: Carlsberg Byen (the redeveloped former Carlsberg brewery district)
When I first visited, it had a slightly warehouse-like atmosphere, but it keeps getting more and more upgraded every time I go. And because it’s an archive store, you can often find pieces at more accessible prices – so I almost always end up “digging up” something special. That’s why I know I’ll be back again on my next Denmark trip.
In a region known for minimalist style, Henrik Vibskov is the complete opposite – bold, colorful, and playful. For me, it’s pure “happy design” that never stops being exciting.
I’ve been a huge fan of this brand for years, and I own so many favorites, but today I’m sharing a few of them. The one I’m especially attached to is the sweatshirt in the first photo 👇 with the mouth illustration. It’s the piece that introduced me to the brand – back when I first discovered Henrik Vibskov while shopping at APLACE in Stockholm.
What I love about Henrik Vibskov is that it doesn’t just chase trends. Each collection brings a fresh, original universe of its own – full of designs that still feel exciting and wearable years later. That “never boring” sense of fun is exactly why I keep coming back.
I heard it’s very popular in Japan too! If you haven’t checked it out yet, definitely take a look.
⚠️ By the way, Henrik Vibskov also has a separate store called “Henrik Vibskov Boutique,” in addition to the Archive Store I introduced here. While the Archive Store focuses on selling past-season pieces, the Boutique carries newer items and signature staples.
【🇸🇪 Where to buy in Sweden】
In Stockholm, you can probably find Henrik Vibskov in physical stores like APLACE and Grandpa (I’ve bought pieces there before, but stock may vary—so it’s best to check before you go).
You can also shop online at zalando.se.
Definitely check them out!
