Boutiques

When I go shopping in Maasmechelen Village with my husband Laurent, I can't help but stop at American Vintage. I love their passion for colours and soft materials. At Zadig&Voltaire, I always find an outfit that is both chic and casual, and the Le Creuset boutique is also a must-visit for me.
