han kjobenhavn new york 640x410 The American Dream: Han Kjøbenhavn in New YorkDenmark has a lot to be proud of. The extensive safety net of our welfare system, our free top-level educational system, the record low crime rates and the almost non-existent corruption of our society. But one of the more tangible features of our culture is a long-standing design tradition. For decades, Danish design has been praised abroad and soon New Yorkers will be able to shop for it locally when one of the Danish design marvels of the 21st century, Han Kjøbenhavn, opens a flagship store in Prince Street in Soho this February. The interior of the shop is designed by the creative Copenhageners themselves spiced up with a few classics from Arne Jacobsen and Hans Wegner. Hopefully we’ll get some pictures of the shop soon. In the meantime, you can read more about Han Kjøbenhavn here.

Thomas got into denim through a keen interest in manufacturing and a love for the well-faded jean. He's based in Copenhagen, Denmark, but he travels as much as his job allows. Through Denimhunters he has found a way to share his passion with likeminded enthusiasts while learning more about the blue fabric. Thomas' favourite jean is the 1947 501XX and he has a soft spot for Red Wing Shoes.
