Eens eentje in het Nederlands omdat deze op mijn lijf geschreven staat. ❤️☺️ (English below)

Liefde. 🌷

Voor jezelf, ook op de dagen dat het minder vlot gaat.
Voor de mensen die je vasthouden.
Voor wat je maakt, met je handen, je tijd en je fouten.
Voor de kleine dingen die groots blijken te zijn.

LIEFDE. staat op mijn huid,
en zit in alles wat hier ontstaat,
in het atelier, in Antwerpen of ver daarbuiten, samen met de mensen die ik het liefste heb of heerlijk met mezelf.
Elke dag, in elke steek, elke imperfectie.

Op de foto: Oliena.
Vastgelegd op film.
Gemaakt uit liefde.

XOXO
Sofie ❤️

Love. 🌷

For yourself, even on the days when things don’t come easily.
For the people who hold you.
For what you create, with your hands, your time, and your mistakes.
For the small things that turn out to be great.

LOVE. is written on my skin,
and lives in everything that comes into being here,
in the studio, in Antwerp or far beyond, together with the people I hold most dear or blissfully with myself.
Every day, in every stitch, every imperfection.

In the photo: Oliena.
Captured on film.
Made out of love.

This bag tells a personal story.

It all started with requests from different customers. They were looking for a larger bag—soft, supple leather, no reinforcement—something practical for daily or work use. Eventually, I designed exactly that, without losing my identity as a designer.

The name “Oliena”❤️

While hiking in Sardinia last summer, the last village I visited completely captivated me. It was called Oliena. The name stuck with me—it felt like the perfect name for this new model. I didn’t choose Italy on a whom btw! 🫶

P.S.: yes, this is my hike outfit🙈

Do you want to know more about the story of Oliena? You can read the story on the website.

“A Moment in Oliena” - Discover the story behind the bag ❤️

Saturday 15 November - 11h - 18h / Kloosterstraat 23, 2000 Antwerpen

Step into a piece of Italy in Antwerp. Inspired by a year of change, creation, and courage — the new Oliena bag celebrates real life, beautifully imperfect. Discover the story behind the design, enjoy a taste of Italy (some Italian beats, cannolo & sbagliato), and leave with a moment that’s uniquely (y)ours.

There will be a very limited number of Olienas available for purchase, but you will of course also be able to order them in the leather of your choice.

Don’t miss out this launch with some Italian treats and a really personal little gift you can take home.

Aren’t you able to come to the shop? Just subscribe to the newsletter and you will receive the complete story in your mailbox, except for the cannoli and sbagliato’s.

Little memories, lasting impressions.

See you on Saturday?

XOXO

Wallet Joan might be the perfect Father’s Day gift! 💝

Made of conscious leather that is tanned in Italy. The leather used for this wallet is chrome and metal-free, making the production process less environmentally damaging.

Made with excellence and craftsmanship in Florence, Joan is lined with old shirts from Sofie’s family & friends so all wallets look different at first sight but are very unique when you discover them!

Material: naturally tanned cowhide leather
Lining: old shirts

XOXO
