Hermès – Birkin
While vintage Kelly bags are all the rage for Parisian chic right now, the beloved Birkin takes center stage on the cobblestone streets of Copenhagen.

Big and bold is the current Danish trend, with larger Birkins ruling the streets. Most popular is the 35cm – the original Jane Birkin size – often eschewed for its weight, but aDoréd for its practicality.

Seen in a spectrum of vibrant colors alongside classic neutrals, Danish fashionistas boldly embrace the Birkin in all its hues. Moreover, bag charms are a notable trend in Copenhagen this season, with fashionistas ‘Birkinifying’ their bags with plush keychains, jewelry, and beaded accessories. Embracing the ethos of “more is more,” they are enthusiastically embracing this trend.

Balenciaga – Le City
A symbol of early 2000s fashion, the Balenciaga Motorcycle City bag was originally introduced in 2001 under Nicolas Ghesquière’s creative direction. Renowned for its lightweight design, the City bag quickly became a favorite among fashion enthusiasts.

Despite its decade-long initial popularity, the City bag gradually faded from the limelight until its revival in April 2024. Balenciaga reintroduced the original design, now known as the Le City bag, with enhancements in production methods, and subtle refined design details.
This resurgence has reignited interest among influencers and fashion enthusiasts alike, prompting a wave of vintage City bags to emerge from personal archives.

Crafted from soft Arena Storico lambskin and featuring iconic brass hardware, the Le City bag is available in two sizes: small 29.9 x 19 x 9.9 cm (11.8 x 7.5 x 3.9 inches) and medium 37.8 x 23.3 x 14.9 inches (14.9 x 9.2 x 5.9 inches). Featuring two leather hand-braided top handles and a removable, adjustable shoulder strap, the Le City bag offers versatility for hand-held, shoulder, or crossbody wear.

Whether you’re rediscovering a classic from your wardrobe or indulging in the revived Le City bag, Balenciaga’s iconic design continues to turn heads with its blend of nostalgia and contemporary appeal.
Marni – Trunk
In Copenhagen’s dynamic fashion scene, one accessory continues to be a popular choice, perhaps due to being the ultimate hands-free cycling companion. Marni’s timeless Trunk bag, first introduced in the 2014 Resort collection, has proven its enduring appeal as a classic piece from the Italian fashion house.

The Trunk bag’s charm lies in its clean lines and minimalistic branding, epitomizing understated luxury. Crafted from a range of leathers such as Saffiano and smooth calfskin, the Trunk bag features brushed gold-tone hardware and a secure push-lock closure. Its accordion-style construction ensures practicality, offering ample space for everyday essentials, while the adjustable shoulder strap adds functionality for those navigating the city by bicycle, or enjoying the rides at Tivoli Gardens.

The Trunk bag is now offered in various sizes, including mini, medium, and an east-west iteration. Among these, the medium size is particularly popular, measuring 16 x 23 x 11 cm (6.2 x 9 x 4.3 inches). This mid-sized option strikes the perfect balance, offering plenty of space without sacrificing style.

Goyard – Saint Louis
While the Louis Vuitton Neverfull may be the more well-known iconic tote, Copenhagen’s crowd is gravitating toward the older, Goyardine canvas, particularly the Saint Louis tote.
