The next morning brought sunshine and breakfast.
Enjoyed on the terrace of our incredible room at Hotel D’Angleterre.
I could have stretched out in that gentle sunshine, beneath the blue Copenhagen skies all day.
But we had more exciting things in store…
Pandora had a new collection to unveil, so the world’s press gathered at the head office for a sneak peek.
Pandora started as a tiny little shop in Copenhagen, founded by goldsmith Per Enevoldson.
Together with his wife Winnie, the pair built the company into a worldwide brand and household name.
Today Pandora is worn by women in more than 90 countries, on 6 continents. They employ more than 15,000 people and are one of Denmark’s proudest exports.
Talk about power couple goals!
It all started with a ring…
We sat down with head designer Lee to hear about what inspires him and how he takes every day beauty and turns it into something tangible.
Followed by a treat of a peek at the new Autumn/Winter collection.
Which is top secret for now, but hopefully I’ll able to show you more come autumn!
I take working with brands very seriously and Pandora’s attention to detail, craftsmanship, affordability and ethos are what prompted me to become an ambassador.
Meeting the Danish team and seeing the excitement the new collection generated from all of the fashion press was a real treat. It’s exciting to get to work with a brand that has become such a huge success from such humble beginnings.
Plus they throw a mean lunch party!
We refueled with a Scandi-flavoured rooftop bbq.
Grilled asparagus with Parmesan.
Teeny tiny shrimps fished from the fjords with white asparagus.
Seared greens.
The most delicious and unusual dip – pureed celery and cashew nuts with olive oil.
A firm favourite amongst the hungry group.
After lunch we hopped onto peddle powered rickshaws, for a whirl around town.
We hopped off and left the others who headed off for a tour of a famous larger factory.
We had other things on our mind…
Vintage shopping and homeware hunting for example!
Find this little vintage treasure trove here.
And be sure to check out Rue Verte for furniture, velvet palm print cushions (gasp), and trinkets for the home.
Tage Andersen is a beautiful little place, filled with curiosities.
Peer inside to be surrounded by flowers, art and the singing of birds in cavernous cages.
