COSH! launches new, expanded shopping map in Hasselt

Have you planned a shopping trip to Hasselt soon, but not sure yet which stores to check out? As of 15 March, you can get your hands on the new COSH! shopping map in Hasselt! It was launched on the occasion of the Flanders Technology & Innovation Festival in Hasselt, which takes place from 16 to 21 March. The new card will not only take you to 12 more sustainable shopping addresses and 7 second-hand shops, but also to no fewer than 30 repair points in and around the city. A fashion journey with an extra focus on repair, that is! Below, we highlight some of our favourite addresses for you.

COSH! resolutely opts for repair

What would a more sustainable fashion industry be without more attention to second-hand and clothing repair? Thanks to the partnership between COSH!, the city of Hasselt and VITO, you can now shop more easily and consciously in Hasselt. With the launch of the new COSH! map, we introduce you to the importance of Repair as part of the R‑strategy (Reduce, Reuse, Repair & Recycle). Indeed, this time you will find not only local shop and food addresses on it, but also more than 30 repair points. This makes it easier for you to contribute to a more sustainable future. You can get the COSH! map for free at Visit Hasselt, Modemuseum Hasselt, De Ware Vrienden gallery, Z33 or at participating shops. 

Optiek Kristien

Optiek Kristien is the first Belgian optician to cooperate with TerraCycle, a company which recycles items that are often not accepted at local recycling parks. As a result, at Optiek Kristien you can not only bring in old glasses to be recycled, but also contact lenses, packaging and lens solutions.

Tiny Sea Tales

Laura from Tiny Sea Tales surprises you with unique jewellery made from sea glass, which she collected on southern European beaches. Tiny Sea Tales’ motto: by wearing seaglass jewellery, you are co-recycling and are always connected to the sea.

Schattemuisjes

Schattemuisjes offers a unique capsule collection for children aged 0 to 6 that you don’t buy, but rent. The collection consists of homemade items, supplemented with quality overstock and deadstock from children’s shops such as BlaBloom and Lässig. You order a box, rent it until the children grow out of the clothes and then swap it for cute outfits in a larger size.

KNAP

At natural hairdresser KNAP, you get personal advice and discover which hairstyle and natural hair products suit you best. Besides a hair salon, there is also a fashion and beauty corner where Merle, Sigrid, Jamie and Lotte assist you to complete your look.

Paplou/​Sessa

At concept store Paplou, you can shop for the whole family. Men, women and children can find more sustainable items here, from clothing to accessories, books and stationery. For those who prefer to really focus on the kids: be sure to browse Sessa’s wide range at the back of the shop. 

Multiple

Multiple store offers you affordable design and contemporary jewellery made to last. Most of the jewellery designers at Multiple work with residuals. It is a dynamic gallery that keeps surprising you with unique designs and endless creativity.

Stunning second-hand

Okazi Boutique

At Okazi Boutique, you can find unique, quality second-hand clothing, decoration, LPs, and books. All items are sorted in a social tailoring company and presented in the boutique for you in a nostalgic setting.

22ND vintage

Are you a fan of the 2000s? Then 22ND vintage is the place to be. Owners Mattia and Julie collect extraordinary vintage clothing from Italy and complement it here and there with genuine luxury items.
