“It’s about finding talented people and bringing them together to create beautiful things.” Join Danielle as she goes behind the scenes at Graanmarkt 13 with its co-founder, Ilse Cornelissens. This Belgian gem, a key part of Antwerp's famous creative community, features a carefully curated selection of fashion, perfumes, and homeware.

The elegant five-storey, 18th-century townhouse, where Ilse and her family live, overlooks a historic market square surrounded by grand houses and the imposing Bourla Theatre. Opened with her husband in 2010 with the help of world-renowned architect Vincent Van Duysen, it boasts a basement restaurant and a terrace perfect for fine-weather lounging. Danielle speaks with Ilse to explore her refreshing approach to retail, the journey of establishing Graanmarkt 13, and the deep-rooted magic of Antwerp's creative scene.
