Big savings and lower prices are possible on porcelain, jewelry, and silver design items at the factory outlet stores of Royal Copenhagen and Georg Jensen in Frederiksberg to the west of central Copenhagen. Here, at the former porcelain factory of Royal Copenhagen, overstocked and slightly imperfect items are sold at discount prices in official factory outlet shops.

Royal Copenhagen porcelain is sold on the lower floor of the factory outlet store. Georg Jensen, owned by Royal Copenhagen since 1972, has its factory outlet shop on the upper level.

Low factory store outlet prices for Royal Copenhagen still do not make the famous white-and-blue Danish porcelain necessarily cheap. Prices are generally only around 10% or 20% below regular shop prices.

The best savings on Royal Copenhagen porcelain at the outlet stores are on discontinued and especially “second sorting” items – usually clearly marked with red “2. Sort.” Labels. These second quality items are porcelain with very small blemishes that the average buyers are unlikely to spot. (Items with more noticeable errors are destroyed.)

Save at the Georg Jensen Factory Outlet Store

George Jensen Factory Outlet Store

The savings on Georg Jensen designs are often far more substantial than those offered on Royal Copenhagen porcelain, as only articles no longer sold in regular shops are available here. Everything in the factory store seems at least 20% below regular shop prices but discounts of 50% or even 75% are common too.

The best savings on Georg Jensen designs are usually on items clearly out of season and thus only offered in the factory outlet store and no longer in regular shops. For example, buying a golden or silver Christmas bell engraved with the date of Christmas a season or two earlier could be a superb deal.

Opening Hours of the Royal Copenhagen and Georg Jensen Factory Outlet

George Jensen Factory Outlet Store in Copenhagen

The Royal Copenhagen and Georg Jensen factory outlet stores are open Monday to Friday from 11:00 to 17:00 and Saturday from 11:00 to 14:00. The shops are usually closed on Sunday (but sometimes, e.g. in December open some Sundays from 11:00 to 15:00).

Tax-Free shopping through the Global Blue system is available for foreign visitors who qualify. Value Added Tax (MOMS) in Denmark is a hefty 25% so it is worth claiming some tax back when buying pricy items.

Transportation to the Royal Copenhagen and Georg Jensen Factory Outlet Stores

Royal Copenhagen Outlet Store in Frederiksberg

Getting to the Royal Copenhagen and Georg Jensen factory outlet store at Søndre Fasanvej 9, 2000 Frederiksberg, tel. +45 3834 1004, is easy on public transportation from central Copenhagen.

The simplest and fastest way is often via metro station Fasanvej, which is around two blocks walk from the stores. The metro takes only 5 minutes from Nørreport station on very frequent trains. Buses 9A, 3A, and 31 also stop nearby but these are usually of lesser use to most tourists, although 31 is useful to travel to the main station.

Parking for drivers is limited but side streets nearby follow the Frederiksberg parking rule of free parking for two hours (if no other restriction is indicated).

Beautiful Frederiksberg Gardens and the Copenhagen Zoo are in the immediate vicinity — both better to visit before shopping than with shopping bags in hand.

Other Savings Options on Royal Copenhagen Porcelain

Royal Copenhagen Flagship Store

Many other savings opportunities are available in Copenhagen to save on Royal Copenhagen porcelain or Georg Jensen designs. The flagship stores of these brands at Amagertorv on the Strøget (pedestrian street) in central Copenhagen are great for window shopping but sometimes have a few items on sale too – more likely at the back of the stores or on higher floors than at the front entrance.

Bargain hunters may also scout Copenhagen’s frequent flea markets or various second-hand shops where grandma’s entire dinner and coffee sets often end up but spectacular deals will be hard to get – the Danish know the value of quality porcelain.

Imerco in Gammel Kongevej

However, other Copenhagen stores that also sell these brands, in addition to many other Danish and foreign designs, often have sales where the whole store, or the whole Royal Copenhagen range, are on sale for 20% off. These sales are most often over weekends – and sometimes not announced far in advance.

Illums Bolighus – next to the Royal Copenhagen flagship store has a great range of designer items as do Magasin du Nord on Kongs Nytorv. The best deals are often at the kitchen and home decoration chain stores with branches throughout Denmark such as Imerco (e.g. at Købmagergade 9, Frederiksberg Center, Fisketorvet), Bahne, and Kop & Kande stores. Many kitchen utensils make far nicer souvenirs than corny fridge magnets and bottle openers.
