Brussels Vintage Heaven

My mini tour to some of the best vintage shops in Brussels first took me to rue du Midi 64 where I visited 'Burlesque'. You must visit this boutique, it is small but perfectly formed with some extremely exciting finds. Here I found some black patent platform heels that I couldn't leave the shop without. Filled with quality vintage clothes and accessories, it is an Aladdin's cave. I would have bought a Burberry raincoat if they had it in my size. They also had a great collection of boots, handbags and hats. If I lived in Brussels this is the one I would definitely frequent.
The next boutique was 'Ramon & Valy Vintage' on rue des Teinturiers 19. If it is top labels you are after then this luxury vintage boutique is a must. The shop itself is beautifully presented. A little more expensive than the others but what would you expect with clothes by Chanel and Dior. A very beautiful boutique with beautiful vintage clothes. If you are searching for a special something then this is the place to go. This shop would be my guilty pleasure.
The last shop ended my mini tour on a high! 'Gabriele Vintage' on rue des Chartreux 27. Wow! I felt like I had entered the costume department on a movie set. What an amazing shop. I looked at everything and ended up with armfuls of clothes to try on. I bought two silk shirts to wear with jeans, one made by Serge Nancel Paris, the other by Pierre Castanet Paris and a handbag I fell in love with. Gabriele herself was in the shop giving advice to people. Gabriele Wolf comes from Germany and arrived in Brussels as a costume designer before her involvement with vintage clothes made her open her own shop. I left the shop with a big grin on my face, this really was vintage heaven and not to be missed.
So go spend a vintage shopping weekend in Brussels and don’t miss my top three boutiques followed by an ice cold Strawberry beer, you won't be disappointed!

Happy Shopping!
