Butik

I was looking so forward to visiting this store, but they are closed.

My boyfriend’s parents are Danish so I decided to check out Butik to find them the perfect Scandinavian Christmas gift.
The store is adorable, filled with knick-​knacks, pieces from the Christensen & Sigersen clothing line and antiques– all with that sweet Danish charm. Since it was before Christmas, it was also overflowing with hand made Christmas ornaments!
I found a pair of lovely candles and an incredibly Danish man (whom I am convinced is Sigerson) informed me that they were hand made by an old lady in Copenhagen. I bought them as a gift for his mother and she loved them!

Cute store but some things were overpriced IMO. I saw a few pieces from Christensen’s own line, I think it was called Christensen & Sigersen (Sigersen being the other half of the store) but I’m not totally sure. It was a big mish-​mosh of items– knick knacks for the home, children’s clothing, accessories, etc.

Damn it! I just found another reason to be obsessed with NYC…
Helena Christensen, Danish supermodel that I may or may not share an ex with, opened a store in New York. A 900-​square-​foot shop transformed from the old bar. High ceiling and brick walls and some French doors from the former bar were left intact. A
A hothouse for flowers at the back of the store separate the retail space and where Christensen plans to design her own line.
For now she’s just hanging aroung there to «show how you can wear things differently.»
The model-​turned-​photographer calls her store «Butik» — an old-​fashioned Danish word for specialty store. Seling there clothes and footwear, accessories and jewelry, candles, soaps, perfumes and chocolate she has personally collected from all over world with her supermodel passport.
