Tucked away in the cosy Steenhouwersvest in Antwerp is the Lies Mertens shop, worth a visit for every handbag lover. You’ll find bags suitable for every occasion. Whether for work or a night out, the designs are incredibly versatile due to their minimalist design.
The handy compartments will help you keep your belongings organised and accessible. So you’ll never have to rummage around for your key, wallet or make-up again. The collection also includes handy laptop bags in different sizes.
In terms of material, Lies chooses Italian, Dutch and German cow and calf leather. Read Lies Mertens’ brand page here.
In June 2022, the brand launched a vegan handbag made of grape leather. The material is made from residual production from the wine industry. In April 2023, it launched a collaboration with MycaNova, a Belgian company, which produces fungal leather. Much of the collection is available in MycaNova.
