Discover unique handmade fashion from Brussels
Want to discover the value of local craftsmanship? These Brussels shops not only offer unique, high-quality products, but also a story of passion and artistry. Whether you’re looking for an outfit for yourself or your little one, a new leather handbag, jewellery or nightwear, the capital of Belgium has so much to offer!
Elegant womenswear, locally crafted from more sustainable materials
Designer Valérie Berckmans creates ready-to-wear fashion for women who love subtle lines, elegant fits and carefully designed details. The collections are made in Belgium and France from organic, fair trade fabrics and deadstock materials that are given a new purpose in these stylish designs.
In the boutique-atelier of Valérie Berckmans in the city centre of Brussels, you will also discover products from other Belgian designers who, like Valérie, opt for slow fashion, quality and an honest story.
Belgian fashion with African roots
Erratum is a high-end label known for its distinctive silhouettes and rich African textile patterns. Founder and designer Siré Kaba combines influences from her African roots with her contemporary vision of fashion and identity. The surprising, gender- challenging designs tell a story, from cultural expression to social positioning. The clothing and accessories are designed and manufactured locally in Brussels, for those who consciously choose to act beyond conventions and wear meaningful clothing.
At Erratum’s studio and shop in the city of Brussels, personal connection and artistic expression are at the heart of everything they do.
Fashion inspired by architecture, made in Brussels
Designer Natacha Cadonici often works with leftover fabric from Parisian fashion houses. She transforms them into her own unique creations with asymmetrical necklines, striking colour accents and distinctive embroidered collars. Natacha Cadonici’s collections are authentic, timeless and versatile: the garments can be worn in different ways and are also very colourful. So you can switch between two cool looks in no time!

The motifs are inspired by flowers, plants and abstract shapes. All garments are handmade in Brussels, using fabrics that are 95% organic cotton.

Leather goods and fashion with a personal touch
An Vandenberk creates fashion and handbags with a (punk) twist. For her handbag collection, she works with deadstock leather and old leather clothes, which she transforms into completely personalised handbags. Her clothing brand, This Is No Disco, which she founded in 2016, consists of timeless silhouettes that can be worn throughout the seasons. For her first collection, “Just Be You in Bamboo”, Ans’s friend Paul Holland created enchanting drawings that beautifully complement Ans’s commitment to respect for people and nature. The message of Just Be You In Bamboo is clear: diversity is the essence of beauty.
