Conscious Antwerp
Conscious AntwerpMore Info
Hello! Meet CONSCIOUS ANTWERP, and what we stand for.
If you love beautiful and sustainable clothing design as much as we do, you’ve come to the right place. Conscious Antwerp is a new clothing concept created and designed with an eye for both style and sustainability from start to finish. By combining the principles of ‘ethical and sustainable business’ ( which is a very interesting course at UA by the way!) with a passion for quality and design Conscious Antwerp was transformed from dream to reality.
Our mission is to deliver beautiful, high-quality and timeless items with a luxurious yet casual appearance, which you can wear with proud and without guilt!
We deliver this promise by producing locally and with a sustainable use of materials. The reason we chose this more costly manner is because we consciously want to produce fair clothing with a minimal CO2 impact. Now you know that your clothing is not only unique in design but also in value. 😉
Our vision is to become big by staying small, so we don’t do any harm.
Our mission and vision tell our values, but they also determine the external features of our clothing such as shape, color, texture and dimension. The pieces are unique in appearance due to the combination of the leftover materials and the simplicity and longevity of the designs.
‘Only great minds can afford simple style’

The use of new materials and techniques creates added values and aesthetics in eyewear design. This is basically the idea and motivation of the Cabrio collection.
Driven by curiosity, Bieke Hoet continuously explores new materials, techniques and manufacturers. A virtual library has grown during the years.
Through trial and error, by pushing a material to its edge of performance, by applying techniques unknown in the eyewear business, new concepts with new added values are created.

Confectiemachines Maes: professionele naai- en confectiemachines op maat
Confectiemachines Maes is een ambitieus familiebedrijf uit het West-Vlaamse Oostrozebeke, de bakermat van de textielindustrie in Vlaanderen. Onze kernactiviteit is de verkoop en de herstelling van naaimachines, strijkmachines en snijmachines. Sinds de oprichting van het bedrijf zijn de waarden steeds dezelfde gebleven: de beste kwaliteit, de snelste service en advies op maat.
3 generaties ervaring
Bij Confectiemachines Maes kan u terugvallen op 3 generaties ervaring. De grootvader van de familie Maes begon in de jaren 70 met de reparatie en de (her)configuratie van naaimachines in zijn garage. In 1987 werd dan de huidige bvba Confectiemachines Maes opgericht door de grootvader en vader Geert. Met Geert erbij werden de activiteiten uitgebreid van alleen (professionele) naaimachines naar allerhande confectiemachines, inclusief strijk– en snijmachines. In 2017 vervoegde zoon Niels het technische team.
Uitzonderlijke technische kennis en advies op maat
Die vele jaren ervaring komen tot uiting in de vorm van een uitzonderlijke technische kennis over alles wat met professionele naaimachines te maken heeft. Deze ervaring en kennis zorgt ervoor dat wij als geen ander de juiste naaimachine, snijmachine of strijkmachine aan een bepaalde productie(lijn) kunnen koppelen. Daarnaast stelt onze ruime kennis ons in staat professionele naaimachines zo te configureren dat ze perfect op maat zijn van uw (geautomatiseerd) productieproces. Ook over de gewone huishoudnaaimachines hebben we ruime kennis. Aarzel dus niet om advies te vragen.
Uitstekende prijskwaliteitsverhouding
Een professionele naaimachine kost een fortuin? Niets is minder waar! Bij Confectiemachines Maes gaan we volop voor topkwaliteit tegen betaalbare prijzen. Zo kan iedereen – zowel bedrijven als particulieren – genieten van professionele naaimachines. Ook bij het onderhoud en de herstelling van naaimachines en andere confectiemachines staan we bekend om onze uitstekende prijskwaliteitsverhouding.
Service zowel op locatie als in atelier
Naast professionaliteit behoren ook transparantie en flexibiliteit tot onze kernwaarden. We streven ernaar u de best mogelijke ervaring te bieden. Onderhoud en herstelling is daarom zowel bij u ter plaatse als bij ons in het atelier mogelijk. Voor sommige ingrepen is service in ons eigen atelier wel noodzakelijk. Aarzel dus niet om een professioneel onderhoud of een dringende herstelling aan te vragen via het contactformulier of spring even binnen in het atelier in Oostrozebeke.
Uitgebreide stock
Om uw professionele naaimachine of andere confectiemachines zo snel mogelijk en met de juiste onderdelen te kunnen herstellen, beschikken we over een enorme stock in ons atelier. We hebben steeds duizenden onderdelen liggen, zodat de downtime van uw machine beperkt blijft. Dankzij onze grote stock kan u een uitgebreid assortiment onderdelen en accessoires rechtstreeks bij ons aankopen via de webshop.
Gespecialiseerd in confectie
Doorheen de jaren hebben we ons gespecialiseerd in (industriële) naaimachines voor confectie en andere confectiemachines, zoals snij- en strijkmachines. Dit beperkt ons niet in onze mogelijkheden. Ook andere industrietakken en huishoudnaaimachines voor de naaistudent of hobbyist komen bij ons aan bod.
Beveiligde betaling in professionele webshop
Onze webshop is uitgerust met verschillende beveiligingsmechanismes. Zo kan u zeker zijn van een beveiligde en gemakkelijke betaling.
