GRAANMARKT 13

Graanmarkt 13 is a special house in Antwerp where each floor tells a story. Founded by Ilse Cornelissens and Tim van Geloven. Under just one roof, you will find a store, a restaurant and guest accommodation. As a high-end boutique, Graanmarkt 13 has been resisting the fast pace of fashion.

ST. VINCENTS

St. Vincents was founded in 2016 by Henri Delbarre andGeraldine Jackman, an economist-lawyer duo who turned an abandoned three-story building into an artistic showroom. The space is dedicated to established artists, creatives, designers and artisans. Henri and Geraldine showcase a hand-picked collection that range from collector’s pieces to anonymous rare finds and contemporary designers that aim to evoke and inspire a certain aesthetic appreciation.

In addition, the store also makes room for young designers to display their seasonal collections. The store is located at the Lange Gasthuisstraat 12.
