KAROLINE SVARRE AT HOME:
Karoline Svarre wears Radziwill The Perfect T-shirt, Milos white organic cotton, Ali Jacket, navy cotton corduroy and Lou Skirt, Indian cotton block print
Dear friend of La Bagatelle,
As the Summer turns Indian I want to keep colours in my wardrobe bright as long as possible. They suit the season, and they suit the mood of the bustling city full of life after a summer of turists, and where I for one have been away.
School teacher Karoline Svarre was photographed in her home by her sister La Bagatelle favourite Frederikke Agnete Svarre. Her apartment is in the Award winning building The Linoleum House in Copenhagen that is built in a neo classical style.
I hope you will enjoy the sneak peak of the apartment in the historical building as well as the clothes on the beautiful Karoline.
Lots of love,
Malene Malling

POSTCARD, 15 August 2024
Dear Friend of La Bagatelle
Being part of Copenhagen Fashion Week last week was thrilling. I was really happy with how the exhibition turned out – it all came together beautifully. It was also humbling to get international recognition from the big international fashion magazines as well as newspapers that I grew up admiring.
Thank you to all of you who popped by. To those of you who couldn’t make it, we are sharing a few highlights of the atmosphere in this Postcard, as well as styles made for the occasion.
Another rather important piece of news is that we are expanding our opening hours. I know it has been next to impossible to figure out our opening hours, as we too have been trying to figure out the best way of doing it. So from now on we are open Wednesday through to and including Friday 11am to 5pm and every Saturday from 10am to 2pm.
Lots of love,
Malene Malling

THE RADZIWILL T-SHIRT:
Dear friend of La Bagatelle,
This morning we are adding an eternal classic to the La Bagatelle wardrobe: The Radziwill T-shirt that we also like to think of as The Perfect T-shirt. I started missing wearing T-shirts and I was struggling to find the right one to wear underneath my Bendix Shirts and to go with Jane and Loulou pencil skirts. So I decided to make my own once I found the perfect spot. The Radziwill T-shirt (inspired by images of Lee Radziwill wearing T-shirts during the summer in her Hamptons Beach house) is made in Portugal in a big and airy studio owned by a woman and sewn by women on old fashioned sewing machines. I have spent months getting the fit right, and I was so excited when I managed to get my hands on the best Organic Cotton available. So I am ever so proud to finally be able to welcome The Perfect T-shirt to the La Bagatelle family of dreamy items.
Lots of love,
Malene Malling
The Radziwill T-shirt styled with other La Bagatelle classics in and around our Studio on Værnedamsvej. Sometimes easy really does it. I love that these looks aren’t overly complicated. They are pure style.

POSTCARD, 20 June 2024
Dear friend of La Bagatelle,
My favourite night of the year in my house is Sankt Hans which is bonfire night on the 23rd of June – the lightest day of the year with the stortest of nights. I am a sucker for light and I almost feel guilty falling asleep these days as it is as if I am missing out on the very best of life in Scandinavia. In celebration of the light I have made a whitish drop with all the soft and seductive shades of the cleanest of colours. I felt the urge for something pure and it is just the best of shades against sunkissed skin. In the drop there is something for chilly Scandinavia nights as well as hot summer parties, as well as all the stuff in between that is our real life, the stuff that interests me in particular.
Lots of love,
Malene Malling
