HUNTING AND COLLECTING
To hunt and to collect – verbs that define a means of survival, as well as a way of life. Recently, modern culture has witnessed a new strand in human evolution – the emergence of a global community that is becoming more and more mobile, constantly craving cutting edge ideas and up to date information. We now belong to a society that uses the Internet and the latest technological developments to literally hunt and collect the products that correspond best to the lives of each individual.
Hunting and Collecting”, a Brussels based boutique and platform founded in 2010 aims to respond to the needs and desires of this new community.
Occupying a 200m2 space, “Hunting and Collecting” carries a constantly rotating selection of more than 30 exclusive brands for men, women and children. The store also provides footwear, accessories, design objects, and press dedicated to modern culture.
The selected brands all hold a common link: each possesses a clear vision of style and a distinctive identity that results as the product of true artistic creativity and individuality. Rather than following trends, these brands create them, giving them additional value and importance within modern culture. In order to maintain a certain uniqueness. Each season, the choice of products will evolve, both online and in store. The choices for each selection will be based on the items that Hunting and Collecting loves, the quality of the products, and the universes that they represent.
“Hunting and Collecting” actively participates as well in cultural manifestations such as art and design exhibitions, fashion events, parties and nightlife, either as a host or in and around Brussels and online.

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
Les artisans-créateurs sont le coeur d’Orybany.
Notre mission est de les aider à développer leurs projets en leur offrant une vitrine, un contact avec leurs clients à travers la boutique et ou les ateliers créatifs. Malgré leur univers parfois éloignés, nous partageons les mêmes valeurs “humaines et durables” avec nos collaborateurs (artisans-créateurs & marques).
Une production locale et durable pour une consommation responsable et respectueuse de notre environnement.
Espace pour les artisans-créateur(trice)s :

Valérie Berckmans
Valérie BerckmansMore Info
In her boutique-atelier at rue Van Artevelde, Brussels, Valérie Berckmans designs a women’s ready-to-wear line since 2006. Under her eponymous brand, she creates a collection in a graphic and minimalist style, evoking an airy femininity often brightened up with particular details.
Each piece that leaves her workshop is meticulously crafted with fair trade, organic or alternative raw materials (deadstock of fabrics, upcycled vintage pieces).
She is having her collection produced exclusively in Belgian and French workshops to maintain the local know-how and reduce the ecological footprint of her project.
Since April 2021, she works in duo with the fashion designer Théo Auquière on the design of the collection.
In the “boutique-atelier”, nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed into ethical & ecological creations!
From this philosophy was born their zero-waste project. The fabric leftovers from the women’s production are offering new stylistic, practical and circular perspectives, translating into a children collection, ladies underwear & cotton pads, among others.
Valérie Berckmans also sells in the shop creations of other Belgian designers who share the same sustainable philosophy : Atelier Content (shoes), Géraldine Bertrand (knitwear), Aymara (knitwear), O’Leary (leather accessories).

ABOUT STIJL
Situated in the heart of downtown Brussels, STIJL is a multi-label luxury designer store with two locations. As an early supporter of independent Belgian and innovative international design, founder Sonja Noël opened the first store in the mid-eighties, starting with the Antwerp Six. The store soon became known for its specialized and highly curated selection, as well as its focus on personal advice towards clients and exceptional interior design.
Throughout the years, this innovative and daring vision was translated into a variety of other projects, sparking the resurgence and development of the vibrant Dansaert area, such as STIJL men, STIJL underwear, the continuation of children’s store Kat & Muis (both still staples in the area, now under different owners), the first Maison Martin Margiela store in Brussels, and eco-concept store Haleluja (now transformed into STIJL men).
Over the past three decades, STIJL has continuously strived to support emerging talent and independent creation, choosing designers for their unique voice. This is what gives the store its eclectic identity, from the bold and colourful Dries Van Noten or the sleek and romantic Ann Demeulemeester, to the daring Y/Project and art-inspired Raf Simons, down to the avant-garde Rick Owens, colourful Christian Wijnants and of course Maison Margiela.
This approach now found an additional home online, where we invite visitors to discover and admire the designwork before bringing it home ‒ just like our many window displays have done over the years. Please feel welcome to visit our physical store for additional guidance.

Following her ever-present need for quality growing experience,…
she worked for BVBA 32 in Antwerp for the luxury prêt-a-porter brand, Thimister.
Finally, the moment to explore new challenges arrived…
