The best fashion and gift stores Belgium

This concept store is right at home in the Dansaert district. At Mixage, the space is home to several young designers who have the opportunity to make a name for themselves here, before making way for others 6 months later. You'll find something for every budget: clothing, home decor, jewelry, cosmetics - in short, items you won't find anywhere else. The best part? The exhibitors take it in turns to run the store, and love to share their passion with customers.

A real haunt for fans of comics and manga in particular. Dimitri Camus opened his shop nearly thirty years ago. We can say that he succeeded in his bet (mangas! ? in Namur ? you're dreaming!) and his reputation is well established. You can also find comics in French and a whole range of comic book related items that have everything to please. We even suspect the owner of making discounts on the official price. The new releases are numerous and regular, presented on social networks to the delight of fans. A bargain, isn't it?

This is the favorite haunt of manga, Japanese anime and KPOP fans. In the store's narrow aisles (they're packed with items, and there are lots of customers), you'll be hard-pressed to find the latest issue of ONE PIECE, figurines of Dragon Ball or the Knights of the Zodiac, goodies of all kinds, DVDs, Black Pink or BTS merchandising... You could almost forget the card games, Japanese snacks and bento boxes! If you're looking for a rare item or can't find what you're looking for, just ask the boss.

Held by an elderly couple, this vintage store offers a wide range of shoes and second-hand clothing, always of quality.

This is not a sex shop. The shop is the cheapest in Brussels with lingerie. With French brands like Steffy, low fashion and a corner dedicated to more nasty objects.

A historic vintage address in Brussels! From faded t-shirts to retro cut jeans, from colourful skirts to cowboy boots: this is a resolutely vintage address. Lots of choice in accessories, especially among leathers, glasses, various headgear and a special mention for jeans (whether in the form of pants or shorts). Most of the pieces are from the 1950s to the 1990s and come from Europe or the United States. The prices are sometimes high but finding the rare piece is quite possible.

This streetwear-oriented concept store is right in its element along the Canal, a stone's throw from Mima. Naoufel Ben Hamame's goal with Knits? To create links because it's more than a shop. Of course, you can find beautiful clothes that have in common pure and minimalist lines (many Scandinavian brands) but also accessories, cosmetics, candles, magazines... You can also stop there to drink a coffee at the bar of the shop, or go to the back and take out your laptop, or chat with other customers. Welcome to the family!

It's not surprising that Isabelle Bajart fell for this dark and very chic wooden boutique, which fits so well with her concept of a luxury vintage boutique. Second hand, of course, but only top of the range with great designers (mostly French and Italian) found by Isabelle who is, originally, a stylist. Men's and women's clothing, accessories, shoes... We could spend hours rummaging through the hangers to find THE piece we've always wanted to buy, but at a fraction of the price. And we'll even give you the best advice.

A magical and colourful shop for children and parents, created by Sabrina Palmisano who dropped everything to create this cocoon dedicated (mainly) to the little ones.

Their philosophy is: sell brands at low prices. How do they do it? The clothes are mostly end-of-stock or have manufacturing errors that can easily be repaired. A few examples? Tommy Hilfiger, Hackett, Ralph Lauren, Scotch & Soda and many others. The Dod is therefore a veritable Ali Baba's cave for both men's and women's fashionistas. Don't be afraid to rummage around, but it's good for the wallet, and even better for loyal customers (10% discount). Another store, dedicated to children, can be found on Avenue Louise.

After closing and reopening in a flash, it is now moored opposite the Ancienne Belgique. There is a worse choice of location to attract music lovers. On the ground floor, a large part of the bins is filled with CDs, although vinyls also have a place of choice. The walls are even covered with them! You can even find tapes too, you see! The floor dedicated to second hand records and vinyls. As always, the choice is vast and the service is excellent! A sort of anti-Amazon where the word "download" is banned forever, in short.

The largest and oldest English-language bookshop in Belgium, Waterstone's is a real reference for the capital's English-speaking and Anglophile community.

This bookshop devoted entirely to the arts, mainly contemporary, is a real reference point for the people of Brussels.

In both stores, highly qualified staff guide customers through the treasures the stores contain. Both places are warm and friendly. Events and meetings are also on the agenda.

This is an excellent address in a district mainly dedicated to eating and drinking.

In this festive neighbourhood near the Ixelles cemetery and the Free University of Brussels, there is a small shop where you can still distinguish between the banal and the perfect. The best spirits and cigars are on offer to make you lose your head. A real "havanathèque" (a nice neologism...), spirits, champagnes and wines of great finesse. As a result, there is only one piece of advice: ask the boss, who knows his subject inside out. He advises novices and gives customers his informed epicurean point of view!

A local bookstore, it offers the basic services (photocopies, lottery products, relay point for parcels...), but one queues here rather than elsewhere because the store has other assets. More than a newsagent, you will find a very nice assortment of books, magazines and postcards dedicated to Namur. The local authors and publishers are also put forward. Finally, we congratulate the owners for their love of wordplay, their sign referring to the "Bia Bouquet" (the beautiful bouquet), a Namurian hymn sung in particular at the Wallos.
