Maria’s corner

Nestled next to the former Carmelite Monastery, just a stone’s throw from the Begijnhof and in the shadow of St. Martin’s Church, you’ll find Maria’s Corner. Run by Maria herself, this welcoming boutique offers a carefully curated selection of more sustainable and fair trade certified textile products. From outerwear and underwear to bed and bath linens and thoughtful accessories, everything is chosen with care.

Maria’s Corner breathes authenticity and conscious consumption. There’s no sales pressure—you only buy what you need, what you find useful, or what will bring lasting joy to yourself or someone else. Prices are balanced and fair, reflecting a more sustainable and ethical approach. You won’t find crazy sales or everything-must-go prices here. With a timeless, mostly basics-based range, prices are straightforward — no psychological tricks with prices ending in .9, for example.

What makes Maria’s Corner special is the strong connection between customers, Maria, and her producers. Customers provide feedback that helps shape the shop’s selection, while Maria maintains close relationships with producers, encouraging limited production runs and strict label standards.
