BLYDE BENELUX, CREATING A POSITIVE FOOTPRINT WORLDWIDE
We are Blyde Benelux, the first Benelux-based PR agency to receive a B Corp certification. A sustainable PR agency for sustainable brands and social enterprises. From our two locations in Amsterdam and Antwerp, we work for our mission ‘creating a positive footprint worldwide’. To speed up the transition into a sustainable and social economy, we combine our strengths with pioneering impact brands and social enterprises. Call us happy warriors, working from our core values: humour, ambition, team, optimism, and result.
IT CAN BE FASTER, BETTER, MORE AMBITIOUS
Of course. We have developed healthy flight shame, are committed to the wellbeing of people who suffer for myriad reasons, and a wardrobe can be both responsible and beautiful nowadays. Sustainable and social entrepreneurship and consumerism are very timely and important. In his book about climate change, Jelmer Mommers, correspondent Climate and Energy for De Correspondent, asks the valid question “how are we going to explain this?”. This is part of the challenge: to rally and move people into behavioural change, there is need for context, knowledge, and stories.
FUTURE-PROOF ROUTE TO SUCCESS
Based in Amsterdam and Antwerp, we combine forces with sustainable brands and social enterprises who want to efficiently operate the Dutch, Belgian, and/or Benelux-market from one agency.
Blyde Benelux offers a platform for brands and people who aim to speed up the transition to a positive footprint worldwide. With a solid amount of vigour we show that it can and should be different. Sustainable and social ambitions are directive in all of our PR-strategies and concepts; we help companies to focus on what matters most. The SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) form important pillars of action within this process. By aligning our approach with the SDGs, we help organisations have a positive impact on society.

About us
B&T Textilia specialises in exclusive high-end jacquard and plain fabrics. We ensure the uncompromising quality of our products by selecting only the best yarns, primarily from Belgium, France, Italy and Peru.
We thrive and search for the natural and elegant fibres, mainly wool, cotton, linen, silk and cashmere. We understand that look, feel and finish play an import roll in fabrics and therefore spend unlimited time and budget to reach the best.
Together with our customers we develop products which comply 100% to the requirements of the customers
Our story
B&T Textilia is specialised in jacquard fabrics and plain weaves.
All our high-end fabrics are made in Belgium and crafted from the best weaving yarns produced primarily in Belgium, France, Italy and Peru. By consciously choosing natural fibres − such as alpaca, mohair, wool, cotton, Belgian linen, silk and cashmere − we stay true to the essence of our heritage.
B&T Textilia is artisanal with the emphasis on artistry and skill. Idealist – the company uses fine natural fibres and materials almost exclusively – its roots and product- focused sensibillity are essentially European.
Creativity
B&T Textilia’s creativity is a result of wide-ranging influences, including our proud heritage.
Our 5 multicultural in-house designers are all passionate about intricate jacquard fabrics and textiles, and work with highly regarded freelance artists and licensing houses from all over the world.
A variety of design studios, trend books, art and colour books, frequent travels, old documents and archive fabrics provide further inspiration. B&T Textilia is also a member of several trend-watching associations such as Trendvision. All designs, books and historical fabrics are archived on a purpose-built software system.
Blending these different approaches, ideas and viewpoints produces high-end fabrics in an innovative stylistic fusion that ranges from ethnic to traditional to contemporary. Use of hi-tech textiles and the latest Computer Aided Design software – linked via a network to the weaving department – add flexibility and speed.
The result: custom-made products and developments, and one-of-a-kind and limited production items, all made in Belgium of the finest craftsmanship.
Quality
Because we control each step of the process with great care, we are absolutely confident in the quality of our jacquard fabrics and plain weaves. In the final step, to ensure the quality we promise, we test our fabrics in house on martindale and pilling.
All our jacquard fabrics and plain weaves are made in Belgium and crafted from the best weaving yarns, which are produced primarily in Belgium, France, Italy and Peru. We consciously choose natural fibres because of their ecological and luxurious character.
We work exclusively with the finest European dyeing houses, and we never make concessions on quality. The rich feel and craftsmanship of our high-end fabrics are our principal hallmarks.
Our history
The history of B&T Textilia is interwoven with the history of 5 generations of artisans – dating back to 1854 when the company’s founder was a maker of woollen suits and apparel fabrics.
Located between the historical towns of Ghent and Bruges, our company expanded its operations by absorbing other weaving companies in the area. Today building on 800 years of authentic Flemish craftsmanship, B&T Textilia represents an unknown passion for textiles.
For centuries, Flanders has been famous for its tapestry and weaving industry. The B&T Textilia weaving mill has been located in the village of Waarschoot, between Ghent and Bruges, for over 100 years. During this time, we have expanded our operations through several carefully-chosen acquisitions.
By combining over a century of experience, Flemish craftsmanship and a passion for innovation and high-end fabrics, B&T Textilia has become a preferred partner for the creative minds in the high fashion and interior design industries.
A golden age
Our story officially began in 1912, when Société Anonyme de Waarschoot founded Société Anonyme Textilia. But our history dates back to 1854, when our founder was a small-scale maker of woollen suits and fashion fabrics. Specialised in velour, the company became independent in 1925. The weaving industry was booming at that time, and more than 300 people kept over 300 machines up and running.
The humble ’70s
During the 1970s, the vibrant sound of the mill died down. The company merged with Société Anonyme de Waarschoot, and of the 1000 employees only 700 remained. The new N.V. Textilia focused on home linens, upholstery fabrics, fashion fabrics, industrial applications and yarn spinning. Even though its creations travelled all over the world, the company’s heyday was over − or so it seemed…
A new wind blowing
In the early 1980s, Patrick Van Damme took over the weaving mill. A decade later, his son Thierry, who had just finished law school, joined the company. They introduced the production of unique and exclusive products and changed the course of the company to upholstery and home decoration fabrics.
Then, in the mid-1990s, a fusion with weaving mill Bruggeman from the Waasland resulted in the new name: B&T Textilia. The new organisation brought the company back into the limelight of the fashion and interior design industries.

our philosophy
We see stately as currency that can be converted into success and eminence both in professional as work as in private life.
our mission
We create and sell high quality suits, shirts and more to support the aspirations of progress-oriented people.
Born a million garments ago. A million means lots of stitches, buttons and hours. In other words, tons of experience and hard work.
Butch Tailors has been manufacturing quality garments since 1956.
First the name was created by an important textile family. Later in the nineties Dominique Vindevogel had the opportunity to acquire the name and knowhow. He became the director of the company with a specific vision seen through out the DNA of the garments. He did it with the help of commitment, skills and traditions. D.V.’s vision of Butch Tailors was well thought through and he looked for the future instead of attempting to earn a quick profit. When other brands cut back on production, D.V.knew to retain his main asset, his experienced professionals. Without these people and their experience D.V. would be nothing more than an ordinary brand today.
One can say that in a way, all Butch Tailors products look like their creator. They reflect stern gentlemanly qualities to be perfect in every detail.
Butch Tailors continues its steady course and continually gains new customers.
Something has obviously been done in the right way.

Buissonnière
BuissonnièreMore Info
Buissonnière: the unique story of a Belgian family passionate about fashion
Buissonnière is a Belgian clothing brand that focusses its activity on core values such as family, authenticity and joie de vivre.
Buissonnière is also an exclusive brand: the company develops and creates its own collections that are sold only in its own shops and on its website.
The philosophy of Buissonnière from day one has been to offer a coordinated, refined, high-quality assortment with a continual focus on using natural materials to make clothes. Its collections meet the current needs of families, respect their budget and adapt to every event.
1983: The origin of the brand
30 years ago, Myriam and Christian became the proud parents of a baby girl, Laurence. Myriam, who had always dreamed of having a daughter, could not find high-quality clothing to dress to her according to her taste at affordable prices in the shops. She therefore decided to make the pretty clothes she wanted for her baby herself.
1985 Buissonnière is born!
The little outfits Myriam makes are an immediate success with her friends and family. In 1985, along with her husband, they go all in and decide to create, together, a first collection for children called “Buissonnière”. The family business is launched!
1989: Opening of the first store
After some private sales at friends’ homes, Myriam and Christian quickly develop the brand. Initially, their children’s playroom serves as their first shop. In 1989, the first real point of sale opens in Wavre.
1990-2009: Development of the collections
Over the years, the family grows and Laurence has three little sisters. The Buissonnière clothes also develop: first clothing for babies and children, then a line for teenagers, and finally adults.
2010: Launch of the e-commerce website
Buissonnière follows the trends and adapts to new technologies; in 2010, the brand opens its online shop which has since grown steadily and allows families in many European countries to finally purchase Buissonnière clothes from their own homes as well.
2014: Official purveyor to the Belgian royal court
Since its creation, the brand is known for the refinement of its clothes and benefits from the confidence of the Belgian royal family. The title of Purveyor to the Court was granted in 2014 by King Philip.
2015: Buissonnière celebrates its 30th anniversary
Although multinational chains currently dominate the ready-to-wear market, Buissonnière maintains its presence and desires to preserve its know-how and values of creativity and quality. It is still and always has been a small Belgian family business: the second generation has arrived and is infusing the brand’s development with dynamism and modernity.
But Buissonnière is more than the story of a family. It is the story of passionate young people who did everything to realise their dream of creating a clothing brand to dress every generation in perfect harmony with the current fashion trends.
