How surprised I was to discover Brussels airport. What a gigantic hub for such a small country.

AND

How excited I was to find out Uterqüe

Kezako?

On my race down the escalators to the taxi, I glimpse a dark boutique. Belgian luxury brand I don’t know?. Hurry up. No time to stop. My rendez vous is 30 minutes later at Ixelles. On my trip back, I managed to arrive 2 hours before my flight and I run up to the 3rd floor.

Uterqüe in an accessory shop. Necklaces, bangles, earrings, shoes, bags, small leather goods and some classic timeless outfits I always need in my closet. Jewels are joyfully colored or rocky metallic but always bold. Necklaces are a statement. Rings are all but discreet. Leather goods are beige, blue, black or brown, plain, crocodile or python embossed.

29 to 49 ‚Ǩ for small leather wallets. 129 ‚Ǩ a clutch or a necklace like the one in the window. 129 ‚Ǩ for a pair of shoes. And such a good quality. The leather are as soft as lambskin is. Resins and metals won’t scratch up at first use (I guess).

Ok. Dear fashion seller, how is it possible? Good looking, good quality, good price.

Uterqüe is the 1 year-old brand of accessories of Zara’s group: Inditex. At the very present moment, Uterqüe is present in Belgium, Spain, Portugal and Greece, and plan openings in the Middle East. France? The temple of fashion? Not yet

Ladies – and gentlemen – if you get by a Uterqüe store, don’t miss the opportunity to come in, even if the darkened designed store looks like intimidating at first glimpse.

Sorry I took only the pic above of the window. I didn’t want to surround myself with safety guards waiting me for deleting “stolen” pics from my own camera. I picked those on www.uterque.com

My crush. Resins, metal and stones

Meteorit-like ring

I imagine the necklace and belt below with a girly dress or my favorite jeans

Croco embossed leather wallet. 49 €. Lots of pockets and flaps. Pick your coins without scratching or switching your fingers.

Black hobo. Napa finish. So soft.

Retro style hat. Love it.
