over Robb.Zilla
- Robb.Zilla is een Antwerpse juweelontwerper die opvalt door zijn flexibele creativiteit. In eigen atelier ontwerpt hij zijn juwelencollectie maar past hij ook zijn modellen aan naar jouw voorkeur. Hij geeft er ook diverse workshops, waar hij je tijdens enkele lessen inwijdt in de ‘verloren-was’-techniek.
In de workshop Droomjuwelen word je aan de hand van een oefenmodel ingewijd in de kunst van het ontwerpen met de ‘verloren was-techniek’. Dezelfde techniek wordt ook in de workshop voor Trouwers aangeleerd aan koppeltjes die zó voor elkaar een originele en individuele ring creëren. Op een avondje maak je de ring van je partner naar eigen ontwerp en onder de deskundige begeleiding van Robb.Zilla.
Oud goud
Robb.Zilla is gespecialiseerd in de verwerking van oud-goud.
Laat je nieuwe juwelen maken uit het oude goud dat in je schuifje ligt en afhankelijk van het ingeleverde gewicht en karaatgehalte, halveer je misschien wel de prijs van je nieuwe aanwinst. De waarde van jouw goud wordt bepaald volgens de dagkoers van het oud-goud.
Daar Robb.Zilla oog heeft voor het sentimentele aspect van je oude goud krijg je de garantie dat jouw eigen goud opnieuw wordt verwerkt.
Gouden tip voor trouwers:
laat je ringen sponsoren door een erfstuk uit de familie

1953
The beginnings
The house was founded in 1953 by Mr. Sauboin – Pierson.
At the time, the brave man traveled the roads and offered his services to the inhabitants of the surrounding villages. So much so that the name Sauboin remained established in the region for a long time.
1958
The mission continues
Mr. Henri Stecker – Sauboin continues the mission undertaken by his father-in-law, remaining at the service of housewives and their sewing machines.
1965

The succession is assured
At the rate of sales, the reputation of Maison Stecker grew and when in 1981, Mr. Jean-Claude Stecker and his wife Jacqueline Mary decided to extend this formidable activity, they undoubtedly benefited from the excellent work carried out by the two previous generations.

Already in 1985, Ets Stecker offered a wide choice of sewing and embroidery machines from the biggest brands.
1981
Training our customers

Since then, at 126 bis rue de la Gare in Bertrix, you learn the techniques and mysteries of sewing, embroidery and patchwork through courses organized in the creative center. You make blouses, skirts, jackets, fashion accessories, embroidery, etc.
The digital adventure
The end of the 90s was marked by the advent of the internet and sites such as Yahoo, Amazon, Ebay, … but also http://www.stecker.be
Mr. Stecker surfed the wave of the web successfully by launching the first Ets Stecker website in 1999.

Frederique Coomans
Frederique CoomansMore Info
“What is your meaning?” asks the art to design.
“What is your function?” asks the design to art.
(Yoann Van Parys)
The work of Frédérique Coomans is developed around those two simple questions: the attempt to combine art and design, the meaning and the function. An almost intuitive way, tapping into spirit of the times and expressing emotion through an object, the jewelry, which can be worn as a body sculpture and assert your personality through it.
Frederique Coomans likes to create astonishment by combining materials, colors, techniques that do not even suppose of getting married. She wants to bring the “spectator” to discover another dimension in the world of jewelry.
To successfully achieve to create these body adornments, she examines the elements that accompany her in everyday life. She constantly seeks, tests, manipulates with the help of all the techniques that will enable her to bring the jewel to its term as innocuous and remote of the jewelry they are.
She tries not to exclude any area of research. That’s for Frédérique Coomans an essential ingredient of the birth of a jewel.

Madeline, that’s Nancy Moerenhout and also a piece of An Van Dessel.
Madeline the fabric madam is my dream that came true in 2014. Years earlier I made my first knitting and then switched to sewing lessons. Beautiful fabrics became a passion. One I’d like to share with you. Via the store in Lier, the webshop or a cozy workshop.
Pop in if you’re in the area? I would like to get to know you.
NANCY X
A fabric store five minutes by bike from my house: a silent wish and a danger at the same time. First I was an enthusiastic customer, then I gave workshops and now I work part-time in this wonderful store.
My main occupation is a teacher, which comes in handy during the workshops. When my oldest son was born, I became addicted to sewing and beautiful fabrics. It’s fantastic that I can now partly turn that hobby into my profession. Would you like to meet us?
AN X
I’m Shanna, Nancy’s eldest daughter. Admittedly, working in my mom’s fabric shop… it wasn’t the job of my dreams right away. But three years ago we gave it a shot and this turned out to be the best decision ever!
I am responsible for the webshop, how my mom combined that with the store all this time is a mystery to me, because the webshop of Madeline de Stoffenmadam, that is more than a full-time job!
That I spend every day between ladies who share a common passion is quite special. I wouldn’t want anything else, that makes working here even more pleasant and enjoyable.
In the meantime I took a “sewing for beginners” course, and that An can even teach someone like me to sew says a lot about the fantastic teacher she is! I’ve been in the shop myself for a few months now. How I enjoy those chats! And I learn so much from you, our customers, it’s a pleasure every day.
SHANNA X
My name is Hilde, now 59 years young and I have been sewing for as long as I can remember. When I got the chance to work for Madeline at the end of 2016, I was thrilled! My dream job, finally!
Since then I have joined the “Team Madeline” and I am full of conviction in the store every day, cutting fabrics and assisting customers with advice and assistance. I am a retoucher, sewing is my passion. Customers can always contact me for advice and a nice chat.
