Bobbi Ray in Deurne, near Antwerp, is the ideal place for those looking for hip, circular children’s clothes. Besides the brand The Simple Folks, you will also find the Belgian HAA! and a repair and upcycling service. Do you have children’s clothes that no longer fit your son or daughter? Then you can also bring them to Bobbi Ray through a buy back system. They sell the clothes for you in their shop.
The idea for Bobbi Ray started when founder Anke was looking for information about fashion and ecology. She read the harrowing stories and decided she wanted to contribute something positive to the fashion industry. When buying clothes for her own children,
Anke came across several problems. Her little kids quickly got the clothes dirty, which resulted in daily washing and tearing them. Anke was in need of beautiful, qualitative children’s clothes that were comfortable and soft and above all sustainable! That is why she started the search for a unique children’s clothing collection with kids brands that meet all the sustainability requirements.
Bobbi Ray soon became known in the neighbourhood and more and more requests came in. Gradually, the repair garage and the cooperation with her sister Hilke from HAA! sewing atelier were added. Because of this, Bobbi Ray now also offers recycled or repaired clothing and upcycling pieces.
You can make an appointment 7 days a week at Bobbi Ray to take a look at the collection. In addition, the shop is open every first Saturday of the month from 11 am to 5 pm. Bobbi Ray also has a webshop where they focus on local shopping. The orders are delivered with a cargo bike in the region around Deurne.
