Copenhagen Bamboo versus CCDK

Short answer: Copenhagen Bamboo is the house brand with a broad basics range. CCDK is a Danish brand focused on underwear and sleepwear in bamboo viscose. If you want to cover several categories at once, the broadest range is practical, and if you only need underwear and sleepwear, a narrower range is just as good.

Two brands, each with its own starting point

Copenhagen Bamboo and CCDK both work with bamboo viscose, but they approach the range differently. One is the house brand and covers a lot. The other is a Danish brand that stays closer to underwear and sleepwear. It is not a question of better or worse, but of what you need the clothes for.

What the two cover

Copenhagen Bamboo spans underwear, socks, t-shirts, sleepwear and home textiles. CCDK sits closer to underwear and sleepwear and has a more limited range. If you need several categories, you can cover them in one place with one brand. If you only need a few, the narrower one is just as relevant.

The price and what it follows

A house brand has fewer steps between factory and shop, which typically shows in the price. The fabric can easily be comparable between two brands, even when the price differs. So do not judge by price alone, but read the material information and look at the fit. See Copenhagen Bamboo for the current range.

The fabric can look alike

Both brands use bamboo viscose, so the fabric can feel the same in the hand. The difference is in the details, such as the weight of the knit, the waistbands and the seams. Those are things you feel when wearing the clothes, not things you can see in a picture. Check the material information on each item, and try one piece first.

Sizes and measurements

Sizes do not necessarily run alike between the two brands. So measure a garment you already own and like, and compare the measurements with those on the product page. That is the fastest way to get it right the first time. If you are unsure between two sizes, check the measurements once more.

If you only need underwear and sleepwear

If you only need underwear and sleepwear, a narrower range is just as good. The choice within those categories is often larger at a brand that focuses on them. You get more models and more to compare, and you do not have to work through a long list of other categories. See CCDK.

If you want to cover several categories

If you want to cover several categories at once, the broadest range is most practical, because you only have to find your size in one place. You can buy underwear, socks and t-shirts from the same brand and get a drawer that goes together. It saves time when you restock and makes it easier to rebuy what you like.

Colours and season

Which brand has the most colours varies with the season. Some colours disappear and others arrive, so it is best to look at the current pages when you choose. If you need a particular colour, it is worth looking at both brands and comparing before you decide.

How to compare

Read the material information on each item, measure a garment you own, and compare the sizes. Then choose based on what you need the clothes for, and not on the brand name alone. If you want to see the underwear together, you will find the range under bamboo underwear for men, where you can compare cuts, sizes and colours.

Frequently asked questions

Is the house brand worse

No. It is often the same type of fabric with fewer steps in between. The price typically reflects fewer steps between factory and shop, not lower quality, so read the material information on each item.

Do the sizes fit the same

Not necessarily. Measure a garment you own and compare it with the measurements on the product page before you order, and you will get it right the first time.
