Hello friend,

It’s springtime and the allure of a European getaway has us daydreaming of faraway places. So, we spent some time researching a city we’ve always wanted to visit. Copenhagen is a bucket list destination for so many reasons, but most of them come down to style. The minimalist vibe, the natural beauty of the place and its people, the “less is more” lifestyle and thriving food scene have us swooning. We’ve got our bags packed; care to join us as we explore Denmark’s capital city through five exceptional women-owned brands?

In this week’s issue of the newsletter we feature a fashion mainstay started by Danish sisters who celebrate minimalist style to maximum effect; we feature a restaurateur who brought the taste of Mexico to Copenhagen and the accolades keep rolling in; we feature a beauty brand that marries a woman founder’s makeup artistry together with her husband’s scientific background; a skincare founder who wants you to soak and breathe in her products; and an artist who creates sculptural objects that are both avant-garde and timeless at once.

This week’s sponsor of the newsletter is Levanta, affiliate marketing software for Amazon sellers. We hope you will learn more about it by clicking on the link above.

Enjoy!

Princess Josephine of Denmark made headlines this week for the most average encounter. Like any 14-year-old, she arrived home, entered a code to open the door and walked inside the Palace. And it just about broke the internet! (It was pretty cute)!

Celebrated Danish, makeup artist Kjaer Weis was one of our first features on account of her exceptional products and environmentally conscious packaging.
