In a time when clothing consumption and sustainability are in focus, more and more people are choosing to invest in vintage clothing. At Grade A Copenhagen we celebrate the unique and the conscious choice – and that is why we have handpicked an exclusive selection of vintage styles that combine authenticity, quality and personal style.
What is vintage clothing?
Vintage clothing is clothing that is typically at least 20 years old – but still in excellent condition. It's clothing with history. It's the jacket that saw the light of day on a Parisian boulevard in the 90s. It's the silk dress from an Italian fashion house that still exudes elegance. And it's denim that's worn in just the right way – naturally, not factory-made.
Why choose vintage clothing?
There are many good reasons to choose vintage over new:
-
Sustainability : When you choose vintage, you extend the life cycle of your clothes and reduce the need for new production. It's good for the planet and your wardrobe.
-
Unique finds : Vintage clothing is often "one of a kind." You avoid mass-produced styles and instead get something that stands out.
-
Quality : Older clothes are often made with better materials and more care. You'll notice that right away.
-
Personal style : Vintage allows you to create a wardrobe that tells your own story – not just follow the trends of the time.
How do we select vintages for Grade A?
At Grade A Copenhagen we work on the principle that only the best is good enough. We handpick each piece of vintage clothing with a focus on quality, authenticity and relevance to the modern wardrobe. This means that with us you will find classics from brands such as Burberry, Levi's, Ralph Lauren and Helmut Lang , but also unique no-name pieces that just have it .
We don't compromise. Everything is quality checked and carefully assessed – and only what meets our standards ends up on the webshop or in the store in Nørrebro.
