You might already have spotted this trendy, ethical and luxury hat on...

Leather bags are a beloved accessory by both men and women. It is therefore not without reason that these leather items are for sale in many different stores like chic boutiques as well as department stores, vintage shops and any street market you'll visit. There is not a city in the world that forms an exception: you'll find beautiful leather pieces in both Marrakesh and Buenos Aires as well as Madrid...

On Monday I was invited to celebrate the 10th edition of MINT on the Modefabriek in Amsterdam, the b2b platform for sustainable fashion & lifestyle at the biannual fair during which different labels present their new collections to retailers, press, stylists and other professionals.

Grab your bag and go to Pick & Spend (Amsterdam)! Last Sunday I was totally prepared to enjoy a good day of pre-summer… However, unfortunately we were cheated out of that 22-degree-sunny-Sunday! I therefore thought it was a good idea to soften the pain and to cheer myself up with a short visit to De 9 Straatjes. As I parked my bike on the corner of the Keizersgracht and...

You probably didn't miss the latest fuss about the amount of waste of plastic bags. This commotion exploded after the European Parliament set a maximum of 90 plastic bags per person by the end of 2019. Apparently a European person uses approximately 198 plastic bags in 2010, of which 90% are lightweight plastic bags that can't be reused and therefore more likely to litter the environment and strongly pollute water and...
