This page is for shoppers who like (DI)VISION's Copenhagen upcycling — oversized denim, salvaged workwear and technical outerwear built from deadstock, tents and parachutes — and want alternatives at a similar med-high level. The closest matches share either the reworked-textile approach (Bode), the Scandinavian utility wardrobe (Won Hundred, Séfr), or the skate-rooted graphic streetwear (Awake NY, Palace, Noah). Expect to pay mid-range for the graphic labels and high for the design-house options.

For method, Bode — both build garments from salvaged and antique textiles rather than new cloth, though Bode is one-of-a-kind folk craft at a higher price. For wardrobe and price, Awake NY and Won Hundred are the closest everyday matches.
Are there other Copenhagen brands like (DI)VISION?
Won Hundred, founded in Copenhagen in 2004, is the direct local alternative: relaxed Scandinavian tailoring and Italian-made denim in straight, wide and loose cuts, in the same med-high tier. Séfr from Malmö is the nearest Swedish equivalent.
What are cheaper alternatives to (DI)VISION?
Primitive, Jugrnaut, Ed Hardy and RVCA sit in the low-to-mid tier, while Awake NY, Palace, Supreme, Alife and Noah are mid-range. You lose the upcycled construction but keep the oversized, skate-and-workwear silhouette.
Which brands here have changed ownership or status?
Supreme was bought by EssilorLuxottica for $1.5 billion in October 2024, A.P.C. came under L Catterton control in 2023, RVCA is owned by Authentic Brands Group with US operations in Chapter 11 liquidation since April 2025, and Martine Rose's majority owner Tomorrow was sold to Level Group in March 2026.
Does (DI)VISION fit oversized?
Yes — the house silhouette is deliberately oversized and utilitarian across denim, workwear jackets and outerwear. If you want that volume elsewhere, Fear of God, Acne Studios and Martine Rose all work in generous proportions.
