Black Lily

Black Lily is another lovely Danish company to add to the list. They have an online shop where you can buy things like this perfect little blue suede bag and this embroidered scarf.

Gudrun & Gudrun

Gudrun & Gudrun are two women from the Danish Faroe Islands who make handknitted jumpers and cardigans from organic, undyed (expensive) Faroese wool - a wool which is naturally very oily, so the jumpers are practically waterproof. Helena Christensen loves them, apparently.

Vila

I love the colours of these shirt-dresses, with rolled-up sleeves and sweet bow belts, from Scandinavian label Vila. The added bonus is that they're only £30 each.

Erfurt scarves

Such a sucker am I for all things Scandinavian, the fact that Erfurt scarves come from Denmark instantly makes me like them more that I would if they were from, say, Australia. I'm very impressionable like that. These chevron-weave, merino wool ones are £89 each, from the brilliant Anna Lizzio in Tetbury.

Venus de Milo

Denmark seems to have a never-ending supply of labels I love. Venus de Milo - Copenhagen's answer to Toast - now joins the list.

Norse Projects

Danish men's brand Norse Projects don't really design things for girls, but I'd happily sport these stripey numbers...

SNS Herning


One of my favourite Christmas prezzies ever is the stripey SNS Herning fisherman's jumper Archie gave me last year. It's the warmest jumper in the world, wind- and waterproof as all fisherman's kit should be. It's the kind of jumper that will last for 100 years, not showing any signs of age. All SNS jumpers are made in Denmark in the town on Herning, in the exact way they always have since 1931, on ancient mechanical looms operated by four elderly gentlemen.
