For some not-entirely-logical reason I'm really drawn to flagship stores. I mean, flagships represent the best of the best in terms of location, concept and selection, right?
What I specifically like about the Royal Copenhagen Flagship is that, even though its location predisposes it to being overrun by tourists, it doesn't feel like "a tourist place". The products are laid out over three floors in a beautiful building, abutting a Michelin-ranked cafe. The space is bright and there is a cash desk on every floor and staff distributed well so that when I had a question (I had several) someone was always around.
Double points to the staff member who ran down to the storage room on my behalf (so many stairs!) to check on stock.
I also, just generally, want to give a shout-out to Royal Copenhagen (way to play, gang!)...I associated the brand with my Mum's love of ceramic eggs (see: thought it was not to my taste and aesthetic). I was really pleasantly surprised by the mix of traditional and modern on offer. There is some truly beautiful stuff, and I wish my carryon and I could have justified a few more purchases (unfortunately, rough travel + small carryon is not a great equation for delicate porcelain).
Yelp note: missed your flagship opportunity? Fear not, there are opportunities to purchase a curated selection of Royal Copenhagen at their outlet in the airport (phew).
