A Vintage Store With A Twist
When you think of vintage stores, a whole array of images spring to mind; charity stores with moth-ball cardigans, vintage heritage & denim specialized stores, high-end Parisian designer vintage boutiques, London’s East end favorites, and then there is Jutka & Riska.
This vintage store in Antwerp seems to stand out from the rest and offers a whole new shopping experience if you’re a vintage fan. When entering the store, you have a very light, clean and well-organized store layout with beautifully merchandised collections.
An eclectic mix of vintage and own design, Jutka & Riska offers a combination of hand-picked high-end original designer pieces from Chanel, YSL, Kenzo, Escada and Mugler among others, which sit next to own design pieces which have been created by young designers.
The whole feel of the store has a very strong 70s, 80s and early 90s influence. The colours, patterns and fabrics are rich and vibrant with plenty of shine and sparkle. What also makes the store stand out is that they create inspirational moods around the collections. Fun 80s memorabilia props like Barbie and Ken, 70s pottery, 80s Vogue & Glamour magazines and classic 80s LPs all evoke memories from this era. The wide range of jewellery and accessories on offer compliment the ranges, so you can create the total look.
The store is a firm favorite with stylists and designers as items can also be hired out, and the favorite address in Antwerp for Blogger Susie Bubble, it’s worth a visit if you’re in Antwerp city, if not, they also have stores in Holland; Amsterdam, Haarlem and Heemstede.
