6 things to do in Brussels for fashion and design lovers
Brussels is an incredible city to visit if you are a fashion enthusiast. The city is filled with so many young and highly talented designers, which create everything from luxury clothing, to shoes, accessories, leather products, frames for glasses and so on. If you care for exceptional quality and desire to wear items that respect the latest tendencies, a shopping session in Brussels will definitely grant all your wishes. Also, the items you buy from Brussels you can be sure that they are unique, because many designers release a limited number of items, because most of them are handmade, contain outstanding materials, and are made to be enjoyed not mass-produced. Thus, I am happy to share my secret shopping address book for when I travel to Brussels, which you wonÂ’t find printed in any other luxury travel book.
1. Discover Maison Degand – the finest tailor spirit and essence of luxury
It is impossible not to be amazed by the services and products of Maison Degand. This is a shop that was created exclusively for men, to satisfy their needs with a wide array of fine and exceptional products. A man will find everything he needs to look amazing at this shop, regardless if he is looking for a sharp outfit or for a casual one. Besides clothes, Maison Degand also provides shoes and state-of-the-art accessories, which complete your overall in an excellent manner. If you don’t find what you need already made, do note that the shop can create a bespoke outfit just for you. Having experienced tailors that know what is like to work at the highest standards, the apparel created here can easily rival the ones you can find at the biggest fashion houses in Europe. Exceptional quality, high class, elegance, and respect for men, this is what you are going to find at Maison Degand.
2. Visit Manalys – a reference in high-standard jewelry
If you enjoy completing your outfit with elegant and high-quality jewelry, you need to visit Manalys. Excellence, elegance, and refinement will be inspired by the jewelry displayed all around this shop, from the moment you walk inside. This isn’t just an ordinary jewelry shop, but a place that offers an incredible experience to each customer. There is an area specially created for clients, where you can admire and decide upon the jewelry you wish to take home with you. No one is rushing you into making a hasty decision and you will get all the support you need for the shop’s staff to make the right choice. Every jewelry piece here is executed impeccably and decorated with the finest stones available on the market. You will definitely steal all the attention when you will wear the jewelry made by Manalys, because it is simply impossible to remain indifferent at the sight of such beauty.
3. Look up Lunetier Ludovic – creator of bespoke glasses
Every person that wears glasses knows that they are more than just an object. A pair of glasses is an accessory that reflects their personality, their style, being something that is a part of who they are. So, it is no wonder that you probably didn’t find the perfect pair of glasses until today. If so, it is worth visiting Lunetier Ludovic, a shop where you will find exceptional bespoke frames for your eyeglasses. If you want a pair of frames that is especially made for you, it will be done by using the measures and shape of your face, while incorporating the details you consider ideal for a pair of glasses. The result will be glasses that are unique and flatter your physical traits.
4. Call in at Conni Kaminski – fashion designer for women’s clothing that is really made in Belgium
As a designer, Conni Kamiski started her activity back in 2005. Ever since then, she works hard to create clothes for women that are modern, elegant, and feminine. With other words, Conni offers women the opportunity to enjoy clothes that are comfortable while also presenting their feminine features in the best way possible. Even though her business is located in Brussels, her studio boutique being located in the old center of the city, Conni sells her masterpieces outside Belgium as well. It appears that women from all over the world wish to enjoy the incredible creations of this talented designer, made out of only the best materials that are safe and soft at touch. So, if you are in Brussels, do not hesitate to pay a visit to ConniÂ’s fashion boutique.
