Step By Step

Our secret

Another icon where walking out without a booty doesn't really have a chance of success: Step by Step mixes international fashion brands effortlessly and always makes the whole thing look surprisingly new. The shelves are a mix between timeless - Joseph, Phillip Lim - and on trend - Ganni, Philosophy, Isabel Marant. Also very striking window displays always.
 

Baby Beluga

Like a Gift

One of our favorite multi-brand stores for years. The selection is never predictable: Ganni does hang on the racks, but just the pieces you won't find anywhere else. There are also jewels, a limited selection of shoes, and a very good vibe. And oh yes: the mirror fitting rooms are great.

Verso

Pure luxe

Logo-lovers are in for a treat here: Verso has every major label, and then some. Here, we like to daydream about the Gucci collection, try on a pair of Prada pumps and get lost among the racks of ready-to-wear Italian labels. Beautiful premises, again, and so big that you can comfortably live here with a medium-sized family. Go shopping, and eat at Le Pristine or Blueness afterwards.

Our idea of a perfect day out.

Dries Van Noten

Fashion paradise on earth

Without a doubt the most beautiful fashion building in Antwerp: Dries Van Noten's Fashion Palace is an icon, a piece of Antwerp history. The Flatiron building from the 19th
century houses the collections of one of Belgium's biggest fashion names, with brilliant window displays and an almost sacred atmosphere. And yet approachable: the atmosphere is relaxed but professional, and yes, the chances of not finding anything to your taste here are pretty slim.

Essentiel Antwerp

Pink Pill

No Antwerp without Essentiel Antwerp, which owns two beautiful buildings in the city. The head office with showroom is in a magnificent building on Graanmarkt; the flagship store is on the corner of Huidevettersstraat and is pink, very big and very attractive. The fitting rooms are huge, the collections ever cheerful and the service is very good. Feelgood from the city: it doesn't get any better than this.

Enes

Belgium Above

One of our merriest multibrands, with a colorful selection that is very Feeling. There is something for every budget, and for every type of woman. Lots of Belgian on the shelves too, and which we can only applaud. From Valentine Witmeur Lab's gorgeous knitwear to Laurence d'Ari's sunglasses: top selection.

Louis

Averse to everything

'De Louis' has been in Antwerp for as long as we can remember, and the boutique has always stayed true to its first love: avant-garde labels from home and abroad. Here, hypes and it-bags are not an issue: you come here for the whole alphabet of timeless and seasonless fashion. Ann Demeulemeester and Balenciaga, Comme des Garçons and Rick Owens, Jil Sander and Vetements. Louis is there for men and women - but who really cares about that division anymore?

Natan

Royal allure

Not an Antwerp label, but a beautiful Antwerp boutique by a Belgian you can only be proud of. We love the beautiful color combinations, the volumes, the brilliantly cut pants (have you ever tried one on?) and the cleverly chosen accessories. Oh Edouard - we think this is love.
