Sofie: “There are several of those too but I really liked the ‘Braderie Publique’ where we were outside with our Forever collection at the time! Despite the lesser weather, it was still a great success!”

Sofie: “Let me say in advance that several pieces are my favorite 😉 Yet 1: The bodywarmer teddy green. Because the colors flatter all children, both boys and girls. An absolute “ must have ” during fall and spring.”

5. Tell us each a fun fact about yourself

Mieke: “I used to be in the Waregem store, but now for a good year in Ghent for which I am grateful! Love my job!”
