What to do on a snowy sunday: & of Vintage Market


Brussel - 10°C, or way too cold to go outside!
After a couple of hours of doubt, I realized that the & of Vintage Market (you can find them on facebook and their own website ) was only one metro ride away.
So, I stopped whining and put on an extra sweater.
And boy, was I glad that I did.
Disco

The & of Vintage Market can be found once a month, at the beautiful K-nal,  a rather big building with view on the water in the North of Brussels
As I entered this building that I had only seen in the dark (during Libertine Suppersport) I was amazed by it's cosiness. You could eat, drink and enjoy jewelry downstairs ( as Elle noticed as well) and upstairs was a
retro-lover playground with shoes, clothes and accessories.
Underneath the bling bling coming from the discoballs on the ceiling you could find gorgeous purses, shoes to die for, and a lot of hipsters looking for a hidden treasure.
It was very crowded, I guess a little bit of snow doesn't stop a Brussels vintage-seeker from finding what he/ she needs. Yes ladies 'he' as well, I spotted a lot of young men on this Market. The organization even understands their needs (read: they do'nt like to search through a huge amount of clothes) and puts up nice little signposts for them, how cute is that!


Men's corner

For the impulsive buyer the & of Vintage Market is ideal since you can only pay in cash. You choose a budget, and you can't exceed.




Let the purse search begin!











 Are you thinking 'want, want, want' than don't worry, the next & of Vintage Market will be on the 4th of March, between 1 and 7 pm.

Love, I

  2. Hi Sarah,
    it's kinda new this market, so it's possible that you haven't been there yet. I guess you went to the fleemarket in the Marollen?
    I found a lot of things, but didn't buy any, but it was very tempting!
    I'm going back next month!
    Enjoy
    X Inge
