Host… What’s in a name? When you walk past this concept store, the homely character just sucks you right in. The range of sustainable wear consists of a selection of decoration and lifestyle items, complemented with luscious greenery to take home. In addition, part of the furniture is also for sale.

The two Antwerp sisters behind HOST try to extend that sustainable, green leitmotif in several areas. Products must be made with respect for other people and their environment. Recycling is also part of it. By also offering a platform to creative like-minded souls, they reinforce the name of the store: from time to time they organize workshops, lectures and exhibitions with partners here.

The fashionista who prefers slow fashion to the disposable character of mass-market fashion also finds sufficient inspiration for her wardrobe here. The selection of accessories just screams ‘gift ideas’. It’s definitely my favourite part of the shop. Can’t choose from all the pretty goodies? Enjoy a freshly made cup of coffee first or indulge in a fresh piece of apple pie. Hmm!
