What is MUNTHE?
MUNTHE is a Copenhagen fashion house founded in 1994 by Naja Munthe, who continues to lead it as creative director. The company describes itself as a heritage brand that blends fashion with art, and presents itself as a craft focused alternative to the faster parts of the industry.
Products and positioning
The brand designs womenswear and accessories built around soft silhouettes with tailored details. Its stated aim is versatile, long lasting wardrobe pieces rather than short lived trends.
Art is central to the identity. MUNTHE is headquartered at Holmen in central Copenhagen, in a space large enough to display the company's art collection, and in 2021 it launched ART MONDAY, an initiative promoting female artists that has featured more than 250 artists.
Distribution
MUNTHE sells through regional webshops for Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and an international site, and serves trade customers through a dedicated B2B shop. The brand also shows at Copenhagen Fashion Week.
Why it matters
With three decades behind it, MUNTHE is one of the established names of Danish fashion, and its consistent link between collections and the art world gives it a cultural positioning that few contemporary labels sustain.
