An Vandenberk

Personal items with some punk

An Vandenberk makes fashion and handbags with a (punk) twist. For her handbag collection, she works with deadstock leather and old leather clothes, which she transforms into a fully personalised handbag. Her clothing brand This Is No Disco, which she founded in 2016, consists of timeless silhouettes that can be worn across seasons. For her first collection, ​‘Just Be You in Bamboo’, An’s friend Paul Holland drew fairy-tale-like drawings, which fit nicely with An’s plea to show respect for people and nature. The message of Just Be You In Bamboo is clear: diversity is the essence of true beauty.
