In the heart of Mechelen lies the paradise of hats and handbags: Award/t. Here, mother Wies and daughter Els make the favourite accessories of women with style. In the shop, you make your way between the different original creations. Each piece has a story and has its own character.
You’ll find handbags in the shape of a bow, with crow’s feet underneath and even crooked ones. At Award/t they also make way for comfort and timeless designs.
In 2018, for example, the brand launched a full line of casual carrier bags. This collection goes back to the essence and can be worn with just about anything. Els and Wies make their hats and handbags entirely in their own workshop in Mechelen. The hats are always made to measure and you can also go there for your unique bag.
The best accessories in Mechelen and all handmade in Belgium? You can find them at Award/t! In August 2023, they will be working by appointment only.
