When people think of leading cities in fashion, we can imagine their minds trail off to Paris, New York or Milan. Yet, we think Antwerp should not be left off the list.  Enes is one of the boutiques contributing to the local fashion scene thanks to its carefully curated collection of Belgian labels!

This lively petit grand café is a fave spot of ours because of its great coffee and  its wonderful curated library. Buchbar is incredibly cosy, so we love coming here to sit and read for an hour or two.

Antwerp is known for its design, from buildings to homewares to fashion. One of the most iconic Belgian designers, Ann Demeulemeester, has a stunning flagship store in the heart of the city where you can find the most beautiful minimalist pieces.

There is no end to the number of cosy neighbourhood cafes in Antwerp, but Vitrin might be one of our favourites. Their list of funky cocktails and craft beers should be enjoyed on their lovely large terrace.
