Copenhagen footwear

Copenhagen is a contemporary footwear brand that emphasizes minimalist Scandinavian design combined with European craftsmanship. Founded in 2017, the brand focuses on high-quality materials and functional elegance, catering to a modern, urban lifestyle.

The shoes are primarily designed in Copenhagen, Denmark, while the manufacturing processes are concentrated in Europe. A significant portion of the production takes place in small, family-owned factories in Portugal, ensuring artisanal quality and adherence to European labor and environmental standards. This allows the brand to maintain a shorter supply chain and high oversight of the fabrication process.

Copenhagen is owned by the Copenhagen Studios group, which was established by the brothers Julian and Johannes Rellecke. The founders have extensive experience in the footwear industry, having previously built other successful fashion brands. Today, the brand remains a key player in the premium sneaker and boot segment, headquartered in Westphalia, Germany, where the administrative and creative operations are harmonized.
