With a passion for Belgium designers, I had a blast visiting stores in Brussels last week end : Boucle D’Or, Mercredi, Cat en Muis, Claude Hontoir. They all stock pretty much the same brands, but they all have a different way to
display them, and they also pick up different pieces in the collections, so it is worth checking these 4 stores.
I picked up this inspiring fashion story called “Planete exotique” in Belgium magazine Kids Only. Beautiful, isn’t it?
