TRIED & TESTED: BIUTIFUL ANTWERP
February 13th, 2012
Most striking feature:
Because of the color yellow and the lovely notes throughout the store which says: ‘you are biutiful’ it’s not only retail therapy in here, but also happy feeling therapy. The store owner is from Andalucia in Spain and she’s very enthusiastic about her new store (and new life – she moved to Antwerp for her big love) and the collection. I’ve spotted amazing pieces of Read more…

TRIED & TESTED: I/OBJECT SHOP A.CITYLIFE ANTWERP
February 13th, 2012
Most striking feature:
If you don’t know about I/OBJECT you must be sleeping under a stone (that is: if you’re living in Belgium and the Netherlands), because it’s the best webshop ever for design minded gifts. But they do more then collecting cool stuff and selling it on the internet: hosting pop-up stores for example. In December they opened stores in Gent and Antwerp and last week Read more…

January 16th, 2012
This contest has ended. You can see the winner here.
Espoo, the ultracool design store in Antwerp, gives one lucky reader of Petite Passport a gift we all dream of. The Muuto E27 socket lamp is one of the most popular lamps of 2011 in my opinion.

TRIED & TESTED: HAMBURG ANTWERP
November 2nd, 2011
Most striking feature:
If you’re a 2011 city, you have to have a hamburger joint. No I’m not talking about McDonald’s, I’m talking about high end burgers. If you’re in Rotterdam, you have Burger Trut (fantastic name by the way), if you’re in Brussels you’ll find Ellis Gourmet Burgers, in Oslo the place to be is Illegal Burger and in Barcelona you go to El Filete Ruso for a good burger. In Antwerp you already find Read more…

TRIED & TESTED: MOOSE IN THE CITY ANTWERP
September 18th, 2011
Most striking feature:
At first I thought: yet another concept store in Antwerp. We’ve got Ra13, Graanmarkt 13, Your, Clinic, what more can you offer? Another angle that is. Moose in the City is a store where everything has it’s roots in Scandinavia. From the Happy Socks they sell, to Read more…

TRIED & TESTED: WALTER VAN BEIRENDONCK
September 14th, 2011
Most striking feature:
The funny quotes on the huge inspiration wall. Like: ‘who stole your smile?’ (appropriate for some people who work in restaurants, don’t you think?) and ‘do I look fat to you’ with a Michelin doll underneath it. Everything in this exhibition looks happy, but Read more…

TRIED & TESTED: FOREVER 21
September 8th, 2011
Most striking feature:
What most women feel when they buy a pair of beautiful high heels, I feel when entering a cool design hotel. Excitement. My money goes to travelling – and to budget stores (and sample sales). So when I read about the new Forever 21 stores in Bruxelles and Antwerp I had to go Read more…

TRIED & TESTED: LE JOHN ANTWERP
June 28th, 2011
Most striking feature:
Their simplistic decor combined with an extreme friendly service makes this a great spot for dinner. On the ground floor – where the restaurant is located, you will find white walls and simple chairs (if you like Wilde Zwijnen in Amsterdam you will like this as well). Upstairs the interior is black Read more…

TRIED & TESTED: CLOSET ANTWERP
June 27th, 2011
Most striking feature:
The handmade wooden wardrobe. When I visited in June 2011 the wardrobe was transformed into a pop up shop of the brand OriginalEskimo. This brand from Ghent makes simplistic undies and shirts. In July they will host another Read more…
