LA PREMIÈRE BOUTIQUE DE CADEAUX ÉCO-RESPONSABLES ZÉRO DÉCHET DE BRUXELLES
Orybany rassemble une communauté d’artisans/créateurs locaux. Nos activités se déclinent sur 4 axes : la boutique éthique et durable – les ateliers créatifs – les marchés de créateurs – un accompagnement de nos artisans/créateurs pour le développement de leurs activités. Découvrez notre sélection de produits éthiques et durables sur notre E-Shop.
ENSEMBLE VERS UN NOUVEAU MODÈLE DE CONSOMMATION
La communauté des artisans/créateurs d’Orybany porte à bras le corps le projet d’Orybany. Tous soucieux de proposer un mode de vie éthique, écologique et durable, nous mettons tous nos énergies à vous proposer des alternatives de consommation en accord avec nos valeurs. Comme chaque petit geste compte et comme le changement commence par soi, nous voulons faire la différence et incarner le changement.
Aujourd’hui, Orybany est la première boutique de cadeaux éco-responsables zéro-déchet de Bruxelles.
L’ASBL Ateliers Orybany est un concept fédérateur de la scène créative bruxelloise lancé en 2013 par Juliette Berguet et Liliane Malemo, le projet est maintenant porté par la communauté des artisans/créateurs qui forme la famille d’Orybany. De la boutique, à l’atelier, en passant par l’organisation des ventes privées et des marchés d’artisans/créateurs (anciennement connu sous le nom de “Re:Creation Hall/ Marché de Demain”) ; l’ASBL Ateliers Orybany promeut un modèle économique de proximité, avec une dimension durable et sociale.
OryBany est la combinaison des mots « Oryginis » -les origines- et « Banynga » – la communauté – en langue lingala. D’où viennent les hommes, la matière ressource et comment leur interaction fait naître une création.
AU COEUR DE BRUXELLES
Après 6 années passées aux Ateliers des Tanneurs, l’ASBL Ateliers Orybany a posé ses valises à la Place Saint Géry depuis juin 2019.
La place Saint Géry et ses halles sont le symbole d’une cité ouverte et pluriculturelle et reflètent le caractère intimiste de la ville.
Orybany réunit dans ce lieu des artisans-créateurs locaux d’univers différents. Chaque artisans-créateur a son histoire et nous la racontons avec lui.
ARTISANS – CRÉATEURS ET MARQUE ÉTHIQUE

Nèle Content
Nèle ContentMore Info
Nèle Content makes jewellery in silver, one-off pieces
or small editions.
Thanks to her background in contemporary jewellery and textile design, she combines both disciplines in a new and original way.
Her discreet pieces are aerial and grounded, light and strong,
graceful and elegant.
Pattern, texture, and a dialogue between brilliant and matt surfaces.
Metal becomes rhythm, following the shapes, folds, and pleats of fabric, creating contrasts and responding only to itself …
Each piece is the fruit of a quest for movement and balance.
Jewelry should be playful, an interchange between metal and skin ,
a flash of light amongst silken hair, arresting our gaze.
There is three collections:
The “Caractères” series is based on shaping of silver,
which is cut to create distinct volumes.
In the “Reliefs” series, volume and movement arise
from folding and repeating linear patterns.
The “Lignes” series is inspired by the techniques of weaving.
These pieces emerge from networks, from the embrace of thread and texture, evoking the way in which fabric forms are created.
Each piece consists of a unique surface, which is cut, wrapped
and develops through folding in on itself.
Volumes rise from the simple interplay of shape and cut.

I Love Mr. Mittens
I Love Mr. MittensMore Info
When Belgian born Stéphanie Caulier visited a small knitting cafe in New York back in 2007, she was reminded of her childhood passion of knitting. Growing up in a family surrounded by knitting and sewing, it was only natural that Stéphanie developed an interest in knitwear. It has been a labour of love over the years and from small beginnings of knitting for family and friends, the brand has evolved into `I love Mr Mittens`. Stéphanie’s passion for knitwear and design is clearly illustrated through her multiple social media avenues and her masses of followers built in the last few years.
Whilst not following traditional academic design study, Stephanie has honed her skills through years of experience in her chosen craft. She combines this knowledge with her keen fashion eye to create a line of unique chunky wool garments.
I Love Mr Mittens is not only a fashion label, it is a label based upon community and sustainability whilst maintaining timeless aesthetics. This ideal also flows through to the I Love Mr Mittens stockists. The I Love Mr Mittens range is available through a carefully selected array of stockists. Quality over quantity is Stephanie’s vision for her brand and this is seen through her select group of stockists across the globe. It is also important to recognise I love Mr Mittens “Heartworking” philosophy. Each garment is hand knitted with love by Stephanie and her team. This collaboration of small, independent businesses (rather than large conglomerates) completes the vision of I love Mr Mittens to create a brand that provides a genuine contribution back to the local community. University students and retired pensioners alike, work with a common objective of executing Stephanie’s vision of how knitwear should be, simple, elegant, timeless and fashionable.

How it all started
KAAI was founded in 2017 in Antwerp, Belgium, by Ine Verhaert and Helga Meersmans who set out to reimagine the perfect work-life bag for the eclectic woman with exquisite style standards.
Before, the duo spent a lot of time travelling around the world. Rushing from one meeting to the next during their corporate careers. Their main companions: a laptop, a mobile phone, lots of paperwork, and women’s essentials, all stuffed into their handbags.
Desperately looking for a stylish bag to complement their active lifestyles, they knew they could do better. So they got a handle (pun intended) on their idea: creating a new bag concept for women on the go.
Capturing the ongoing energy of the city and the ever-moving water of Antwerp, KAAI (meaning ‘the quay’ in Dutch) symbolises the fluidity of modern women, going places.
By women, for women
We take inspiration from the lives and desires of successful modern women.
From in-depth interviews with active women, discussing their relationships with their bags we discovered that women are:
‣ irritated by the chaos in their fashionable but often impractical handbags,
‣ bored with the masculine looks of their workbags.
KAAI brings change by creating bags that are both functional and fashionable, feminine and fearless.
We empower women to follow their ambitions. On their terms —without compromises.
Sophisticated simplicity
Drawing inspiration from the colours and pure graphic lines of Art Deco, we reinterpret this era’s timeless allure into magically modern, minimalist handbags with forever appeal.
Both contemporary and utterly covetable, we design for a variety of occasions. From casual to formal, from day to night.

The beginning
Antwrp is a Belgian men’s fashion brand created in 2006. Antwrp brings luxurious casual clothes, in particular T-shirts, sweaters, jumpers and shirts in beautiful fabrics. The brand name refers to that unique blend of Antwerp fashion, the vintage scene and the city’s multicultural dimension. Antwrp translates the street culture into original print techniques with unique results. Logos and labels bear witness to the high graphical standards and in particular to the eye for details.
The collection’s designer
Antwrp is the brainchild of fashion designer Wouter Hoste. After graduating at the Antwerp Fashion Academy in 1987, he moved to Paris where he designed Jean Paul Gaultier’s Junior collection. In the early nineties, he returned to Belgium to work for various Belgian fashion labels. Wouter Hoste’s style is very graphical. He may be using remarkable colour combinations, but the overall picture remains coherent. His work sometimes refers to Andy Warhol, one of the artists he admires most. Antwrp is distributed by ARW, the fashion agency which distributes many prestigious and trendy brands.

Anne Zelien
Anne ZelienMore Info
Anne Zellien grew up above the fashion shop started by her grandma during World War II. Her grandma and mum were always very elegantly dressed and had a keen eye for detail.
Each outfit was completed with carefully chosen hats, shoes, handbags and jewellery. This attention to detail instilled in Anne a desire to continue this passion.
At the age of 18, she dreamt of becoming a painter, but ended up enrolling in a jewellery design programme at the Antwerp Academy of Fine Arts. After graduating, she worked for many years in the diamond industry, where she gained a great deal of experience. At the age of 39, she decided that the time had come to focus once more on her passion and opened a shop with workshop on Kammenstraat in Antwerp.
Anne has always been fascinated by historical jewellery and over the course of time she became particularly interested in the style known as ‘Sentimental Jewelry’, a style that was quite fashionable in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries. Jewelry of this kind was strongly personalised with engravings, hidden messages, portraits and charms, superbly accentuating the bond between 2 people – the person whose gift it was, and the person who was to wear the jewelry.
Being convinced of the importance of love and friendship in life, Anne concentrates on these very personal messages that she expresses in her work.
Other sources of inspiration are literature, classical music, vintage jewellery and, of course, all those people whom she had the pleasure to meet, and who have marked her journey.
Her favourite working materials are silver, gold, diamonds, semi-precious stones and pearls.
