Genbrug – Cindarella lives on

“Genbrug” means vintage in Danish and this is both the name and the contents of the shop. If you still have money to spend after visiting Tante T, this is where you should go. It’s a ten-minute walk away.

The shop is quite big for one that sells vintage and it is also remarkably popular, even for the vintage-loving Danes. The shop has two departments. The first one is entered from Vesterbrogade and contains all you could ever dream of in all sorts of clothes and accessories, while the second department, just next door, holds shoes (mostly high heeled and leather booths), purses and furs for the cold winters in the north (or wherever you might like!). Right now there is an extended collection of furs and fury accesories and considering the present condition of European weather and climate problems, a vintage fur might be it for everyone.  The clothes are all affordable and in fairly good condition.

Genbrug offers new goods regularly and has a local trend spotter who makes sure that the fashion victims won’t go home hungry. Especially dresses from every decade of the last century can be purchased and admired. Both dresses for daily wear and huge Cindarella robes with glitter and skirts like balloons. Even though you may never wear one, it’s good to be one the safe side and squeeze one into the closet, ay?

For a vintage shop the shoe department is impressive. The high heeled shoes are put in order by color in the biggest room along with the purses, while the boots live their vintage lives in the other room. Go get them!
