Closet is a conceptstore & platform for young fashion designers in Antwerp, Belgium. I met  the owners, sisters Katrien and Mieke, at the Modefabriek last january and they are selling Made by lennebelle since their opening in March. Besides the beach we went to Antwerps so last weekend I finally got the oppurtunity to visit Closet. I love how they displayed my jewelry and the shop itself is great too! Check out more about Closet here.

How idylic looks this little town on the Greek Island Andros?! Today I will send a package filled with Made by lennebelle necklaces and bracelets to this small paradise. I really need a break at the moment and would love to jump in the box and be shipped off to Greec together with the glass tubes, jewelry and displays,…The shop is owned by Kiki but is not open yet. I have only seen the front and that looks lovely already. Will post more when the shop is open!

I am so happy to let you know ‘lennebelle’ got two amazing new points of sales; Friday Next in Amsterdam ( image above) and Gosto in Blaricum (image below) Friday Next is a conceptstore with cafe, run by Esther and Pauline. Their collection of furniture is fabulous and they also have an interior design studio. I feel lucky to be part of their broad collection of jewelry labels like Wouter & Hendriks, MHL Studio, Charlotte Wooning and Bibi van der Velden.

Gosto is a design & lifestyle store owned by Sonia. When I first discovered Gosto I found so many familiar things I often see on blogs like items of Taska, work by Fine little day and Donna Wilson. This shop just makes you smile and makes you want to buy gifts for everyone you know.

Here a sneak peak of my humble jewelry collection. There is more but this is what I wear at the moment. Some pieces more then others. My favourites at the moment are the earring by Eva Schreuder, my new braides feather necklace in mustard yellow and my watch which I got from my sister for my 30st birthday. There are vintage finds and special gifts, earrings by Isabel Marant, necklaces by Scout Holiday and Iefke de Roos, brooches by Remona Poortman and Sandra Turina, bracelets by me, MHL studio and Charlotte Wooning. Treasure them all and would love to expand with a few items which I have on my wishlist.

What jewelry designers do you admire?

Needle in the haystack is a new online platform for young designers where you can find handmade and unique items from accesories, jewelry, fashion to interior. The website Nith (Needle in the haystack) will be online next week. Nith has it’s own corner in the cosy boutique and lunchroom Beter & Leuk (Better & Fun) in Amsterdam. Last sunday I went there for a delicious breakfast and to check out the display of Made by lennebelle!

This is already the third edition of Swanmarket. This lifestyle market in Rotterdam is getting bigger and more fun every time. This time I will join and have my own marketstall. I am busy working on some small and specialy made pieces for the market. There are so many participants from in and around Rotterdam, check them all out here. Stylists, designers, artists who all have their own passion creating something unique. There are leather bags, stationery, cupcakes, jewelry, accesoiries, paintings, knitwork, biological food, ceramics and so much more.

I think I shot over a 1.000 photos, not knowing where to start, what it should look like,…only 26 made it to the final catalog. Now it is time to spread it around and find amazing shops all around the world who are interested. If you have any suggestions please let me know! It is always best to find good places (shops) via reccomendations. You can see the whole catalog here.

Some time ago Pauline from the fabulous traveling blog Petite Passport asked me to design her businesscard! Her blog is all about the hotspots and places to be all over the world. Most of them she tried & tested herself as part of her freelance journalist assignments for magazines.

The card consists of two cards, first the traditional card with logo and contact info on the other card it says ‘Petite Passport reccomends’, to give personalised traveltips, and on the other side ‘Petite Passport was here’, to let a hotspot know she visited and why she loved it.

Besides writing for magazines, Pauline just published two books; Shortbreaks for two and A moment for yourself!
