Besides the great quality in leather you can also find second hand shoes, bags, gloves, belts,…read more. in this shop. You must wonder why I am promoting this unshitty leathershop. Because not only are the prices very low, this Moroccan owner (I think) is so concerned with the quality, he often throws shitty stuff away. Or sells it in his shop for 'an apple and an egg'. How should you proceed. Listen very carefully I shall say this only once: go inside the shop, behind the first row of boots there's a gap where he keeps shoe related stuff. Then check for a bag, the shoes (or leather) that he doesn't like or that he has chosen to be not good enough, will be in this bag to eventually throw away. It is absolutely not his goal to give these things away. Mostly I take a look in the bag and act like ' my nose is bleeding' (you should really look this one op). If he sees you doing this he will tell you that the stuff in the bag is bad en garbage en then you have to ask him polite if you can have it then. His reaction is never the same. I guess you just have to be lucky. I myself found some great shoes and bags in this bag. Often with a small defect and easily fixable. But It's very important to do this subtle, do not come by every week so that he doesn't get annoyed. Another shitty review by the shitty guide of Antwerpen.

I'm always excited to thrift--at home in New York and while traveling. I took a long walk through…read moreAntwerp to check this shop out but was sad to find that there were very few affordable pieces for me. Prefer out of the spotlight shops that have real deals on 2nd hand clothing.

Nice consignment and resale shop. Everything here is in good shape, no items with tears, etc.read more

I liked this shop. It had a really great collection of seasonal clothing. I needed a couple…read morepieces to warm me, so to extend my travel wardrobe. There was a good selection for both women and men, lots of Scandinavian sweaters, some nice leather pieces, hats, and coats. Plenty of fun vintage that was priced fairly. For around 20 Euro, I got a vintage Italian sweater, and a thick, warm scarf. I may check out their other location too.

This place was one of my favorite retails finds in Antwerp. There were some really great…read more"one-of-a-kind" Belgium designer finds mixed in with what looked like newer stock. They also had lots of interesting jewellery and accessories, an "okay" selection of shoes/boots, and some gorgeous handbags that definitely tested my willpower. I also really appreciated the laid-back, yet friendly, attitudes of the staff. I'm usually a grab and go kind of shopper, but I was probably in there for a good half hour and felt totally comfortable taking my time to browse the (neatly) jam-packed racks and try on items.

Fashion is huge in Antwerp, and rightfully so, it is home to the Antwerp Six (Dries van Noten, Ann…read moreDemeulemeester, Van Saene, Bikkembergs, Yee and Beirendonck--you get the idea). However, if you can't afford the pieces over at the Dries van Noten flagship store, I suggest checking out the many vintage stores on Nationalestraat. One of those stores is Jutka en Riska, which I found through some quick online research. They had a wide selection of vintage designer clothing items, mainly Belgian designers of course, for reasonable prices. Make sure to check out their jewelry section as well.

Lucky me! Best shop on Meir -- and it's a newcomer to the scene!…read more I had no idea Juttu had opened literally the day before I arrived to Antwerp (mid-November 2015) -- it was only when I was adding the information to Yelp that I realized I went on day 2 of their existence. Points for great timing, I suppose. Juttu was my favorite store on this mega shopping strip, Meir. Everything else felt like a variation on the same thing, same style, same price point. It seems like millions of shops and then you realize "samesies" mostly. Juttu definitely stands out -- it's a Belgium original, with 2 locations (this one and Brugge). Really cool style, great curation, a bit more high end, really lovely stuff. I walked out with a gorgeous cardigan sweater (80 euro) and my new favorite pair of beaded earrings (25 euro). Not crazy pricy, but very high quality. It's like Belgian Anthropologie, but better. Highly recommended. They were working out some of the opening jitters when we were there (checkout ques were a bit unorganized) but I think this place is a sure win once it gets that sorted. It's already looking fabulous and upping the shopping bar on Meir.
