Testimonials
What was first envisaged as a leather-working hobby soon turned into a handbag label. Meanwhile, the eponymous Zarina Rouge sells her handbags in 20 shops in Belgium and recently opened her own shop in Nieuwpoort. Get to know Zarina Rouge in this interview.
As a designer, Cleome Clements discovered how much material ends up in landfill in the fashion industry. From that idea King Comf was born, the first "haute comfort" label with clothes and shoes made from deadstock. Get to know King Comf in this interview.
