Why it belongs in ORBIS
Leather-focused womenswear label launched in 2019 by Birger Christensen Collective, the Copenhagen fur-and-fashion house founded in 1869 at Ostergade 38; draws on the atelier's leather-working craft alongside sister label ROTATE.
REMAIN Birger Christensen is a Copenhagen womenswear label launched in 2019 by Birger Christensen Collective, a Danish house that began in 1869 as a fur atelier at Ostergade 38 and grew over roughly 150 years into a major Scandinavian luxury retailer and long-standing partner to houses like Chanel and Hermes. In 2022, Birger Christensen formally repositioned itself as a group backing new Nordic labels, with REMAIN and the more widely known ROTATE as its two in-house brands. REMAIN draws specifically on BCC's decades of leather-atelier expertise, applying it to everyday-focused collections built around leather pieces, blazers and outerwear.
