Nathalie d’Anvers
Nathalie d’AnversMore Info
PHILOSOPHY
Nathalie d’Anvers offers a way of creating, a search for harmony by combining forms and colors in order to evoke a spiritual state and transcribing through this alchemy, the essence of « feminity ». Each creation places in the spotlight the woman who is wearing it and illuminates her personality. The creations of Nathalie d’Anvers reflect the sensitive resonance of the body movement in this world and in the universe. They unveil as much the spirit of the woman wearing them as the love of beauty that inspires and motivates their inception. The brand embodies the return of beautifull, timeless creations that emphasizes and magnifies the silhouette.
Nathalie d’Anvers discovered at a very young age the art of creating dresses and outfits, exclusively reserved for a female audience. Inspired by her grandmother’s couture-skills, art books and her particular interst in sculpture and drawing, she created her first pieces from old fabrics, laces, and other accessories. As a teenager, she studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Antwerp, where she developed her passion for sculpture.
After a fifteen years international career in business and finance, she returned to her first passion: art, sculpture and dresses.
Nathalie d’Anvers creates her dresses as a sculptor. Instead of drawings, she uses a miniature « mannequin-doll » for modelling her designs. She needs this three dimensional sensation and the touch with natural materials, silk and high quality tissus, for turning an idea into an object. The realisation of the final dresses is exclusively done by Haute Couture ateliers in Paris, artisans and fine craftmanship in Belgium. Perfectionism, an eye and focus on the tiniest details and high quality finishings, guarantees the quality, beauty and durability of the creations of the brand.
Nathalie d’Anvers offers women timeless lines, contemporary innovations while maintaining the essential ideals, which are reactivating a classicism, synonymous with elegance. Her timeless but complicated designs result in sophisticated dresses with a signature of pure and smooth lines.
Her way of draping, noble fabrics and transparancies combined with innovative techniques results in exquisite dresses.
Nathalie d’Anvers is not dictated by seasonal tendencies, but follows her own feelings.
In many ways she works in close collaboration with contemporary artists. The creations are made to outlive the passing swings of fashion. Every dress is a reflection of her state of mind.
Wearing a dress of Nathalie d’Anvers is an attitude, a way of being : « Be Anything but Obvious »

Nathalie Vleeschouwer
Nathalie VleeschouwerMore Info
Nathalie Vleeschouwer offers the kind of subtle elegance to women of character who want to enjoy life actively and confidently.
The Belgian designer launched her collection in 2011, but the roots of her fashion house go back as far as 1990. Inspiration is derived from all corners of the globe and distilled by Nathalie and her team at their headquarters in Antwerp. Because the soul of the collection is inextricably bound to the designer herself, it has an authentic style and is continually evolving, just like Nathalie’s creative ideas.
Experience, craftsmanship and lasting partnerships with a handful of suppliers and workshops form the basis of every garment that bears her name. Made with love, so that you can wear it again and again, and mix & match it with different items every season. Where the creativity of this collection – released once every six months – stops, yours begins.
Who is Nathalie?
Nathalie Vleeschouwer really does exist. She is not just the designer of the collection; she is also a wife, the mother of three children and two dogs, a traveller, nature lover, city-tripper, swimmer, connoisseur, and so much more.
Nathalie actively enjoys life and the clothing she wears plays an important part in this. It gives her confidence and supports her in all her activities, making it an essential part of her life.
There may be only one Nathalie Vleeschouwer, but many women can identify with her.
Why did she create the collection?
Nathalie Vleeschouwer’s interest in fashion stems from her childhood. Her father was a purchaser for a clothing chain, and as a child she loved nothing more than to accompany him to the big clothing factories. The Antwerp Academy of fashion was a logical next step in her career, but she decided – at the age of 22 – to swap the Academy with learning from practice. This resulted in the launch of Fragile, a maternity wear collection, in 1990. In those days, making fashionable maternity clothing was unheard of. That is how Nathalie became a global pioneer in the world of maternity fashion. The collection was a great success, all the way from Antwerp to Tokyo, and many brands have since followed in Fragile’s footsteps.
Having won the Womed Award in 2010 for female entrepreneurship, Nathalie felt she was ready to embark on a new venture in addition to Fragile. To underscore the authentic style of this new collection she decided to give it her own name: Nathalie Vleeschouwer.
The first collection was presented at the international trade fair in Paris in September 2010 and was available in shops in the spring of 2011.
What does the company Natale do?
Natale stands for Nathalie, and also for the Italian word for ‘birth’.
The family business comprises two collections: Fragile & Nathalie Vleeschouwer. Both are the artistic creations of designer Nathalie Vleeschouwer. The management of Natale is in the hands of Nathalie herself and her husband, Jan.
A staff of approximately 40 work hard every day, prominently or behind the scenes, in a wide range of jobs from pattern designer to sales assistant. By outsourcing as little work as possible experience is combined, ensuring a dynamic business culture.
Who makes your favourite pieces?
Nathalie Vleeschouwer is the head designer of a creative team, and collaborates with her own pattern maker. Each design is developed in detail by our team. We strive to build relationships of trust with all our suppliers and manufacturers, in which transparency and long-term cooperation are of the essence. We regularly visit our partners on site with a view to strengthening our ties and building a genuine relationship of trust and mutual respect.
Socially responsible entrepreneurship and sustainability
Respect for people, the environment and society are key values at Natale.
By opting for quality goods at fair as a starting point, we hope to contribute to enhancing the sustainability of the fashion industry. We deliberately choose to release only two collections a year and are adverse to hypes as well as overproducing. By adhering to this long-term vision we can make honest fashion that you will enjoy for many years to come and in which both the maker and the wearer take pride.
Our collections are produced without any use of child labour, in pleasant working conditions and for honest wages by audited suppliers with whom we build up partnerships with a long-term vision.
Keeping our creative, commercial and administrative departments under one and the same roof in Antwerp ensures that Natale’s environmental impact remains limited. We make every effort to minimise our ecological footprint throughout our production chain as well. This is one of the reasons why we have been sourcing more than half of what we produce from Belgian manufacturers for over 20 years. The remaining half is primarily produced in Europe.
Step by step, we aim to integrate more ecological fabrics into the collection every season – depending on the offering – while always maintaining a correct price/quality ratio.

A COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE.
Building on the past to express a form of modernity…
A reinterpretation that sublimates the lessons of the past in a burst of creative joy.
Such has been the approach followed since its creation when Nathan-Baume first presented its exclusive small luxury leather goods created from the finest leathers – notably exotic skins.
The range gradually expanded and includes travel bags, briefcases, computer cases, …yet the craftsmanship never lost his particular inclination for small leather goods, which require considerable skill and know-how in addition to an eye for detail and great dexterity.
Nathan-Baume took a new dimension with the launch of the jewels collection in silver and gold, accessories like silk scarves, gloves, hats, umbrellas…
Welcome to style and glamour, functionality and magic, senses and feelings. Welcome to you.

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.

More Info
It is in 1996 that we created Noukie’s, in Belgium. Our wish was to offer to the smallest children (and their parents), a remarkably soft toy, with short pile and embroidered eyes, to ensure both safety and hygiene; an innovation was born. Noukie’s would quickly develop a real expertise in the creation of characters and soft toys, and understand its essential role in the emotional development of babies. Our soft toys, the child’s every day companion, bring supreme softness, tenderness, and extend the feeling of comfort and safety given by the parents.
From 1998 onwards, our characters start creating genuine environments and also appear on linens, and later on, on day- and night wear, while always keeping the combination of softness and safety.
In 2004, Noukie’s opens its first store in Brussels, and its second one in Paris
To celebrate the brand’s 10th anniversary, we decide to bring our characters in motion. And so the animated 3D TV series “Nouky, Paco, and Lola” was born. Conceived with psychologists for children, this gentle and tender TV series experienced great success, and is still broadcasted in more than 163 countries…
In 2007, Noukie’s and its whole team are awarded the prestigious trophy of “Company of the Year” by Ernst & Young
In 2010, Noukie’s completes its baby environment by creating bedroom furniture.
Our story goes on with that of our characters, and we are proud of Noukie’s presence in more than 32 countries, where it brings tenderness and happiness to both children and adults

ABOUT US
NIELS PEERAER
is an eponymous leather goods label, founded by Antwerp designer Niels Peeraer, established and based in Paris ca. 2011
VISION & CHAPTER 2/
After 8 years of introducing our “no limit to cuteness” it’s time to start writing a second chapter to our storyline, and use a more translated approach to cuteness. Continuing a genderless balance of sensitivity vs. toughness, but shifting from a focus on ornamentation to a more elaborate form study and styling versatility, while keeping our practical architectural volumes.
We decided to still keep our first generation classics available in our Made to Order section, which will be handmade in our Paris atelier. All our pieces are created without any gender-tag, they are here for to any human who feels connected to them.
TECHNIQUE/
Niels Peeraer bags have no stitching, and are entirely assembled through screws and custom made gold or nickle hardware.
Through this self-developed technique we can achieve cleaner lines and strength on our pieces.
MATERIAL AND SUSTAINABILITY/
Our vegetable tanned cow hide is sourced from Scandinavia, as a byproduct from meat consumption. In respect for the animal, we use the leather in its entirety, including parts that others might regard as imperfections.
We’re strong believers in the Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi 「侘寂」, finding beauty in imperfections, always with deep respect and appreciation for the integrity of the natural materials and processes.
We do not use lining or cover the inside of our pieces, but use a special waxing-process to create a smooth surface, as well as use a natural gum-based finish for our edges. It’s important for us not to use any chemical or environmental toxic component within our materials, nor production process.
All our materials are sourced within Europe and our pieces are handmade in either Spain or our own atelier in Paris, to minimize our footprint.
