Starting in style at Sevens

Sevens has been a fixture on the Ghent street scene for 40 years. Start your stylish day out in our shop and be surprised by our carefully curated selection of bags and shoes from top international brands such as Fendi, Prada, Bottega Veneta and Chloé.

Our new leading lady breathes new life into familiar class together with the enthusiastic team. Quiet luxury, personal service and pieces to fall in love with instantly. How about the Jill Sander Mules, the Loewe Flamenco Purse or Balenciaga's iconic Le City? The latter is already ideal for your day out in Ghent.

Owen: poetry in a vase

A typical floral splendour can be found at Owen. The bouquets are full of feeling and reminiscent of classic still lifes. Sometimes lush and romantic, sometimes graphic and clean. This floral splendour inspires the choice of shoes and bags in natural materials. Lovers of raffia will love the Chloé Kerala Basket or Gianvito Rossi's Thalia Sandals. Bottega Veneta classics such as Jodie and Andiamo also do well in soft leather and shades.

A tasty break

In need of a break? Then pay a visit to Joost Arijs, where refined chocolates and artful patisserie set the tone. His creations are almost too beautiful to eat, but even harder to resist. This stylish establishment is all about craftsmanship and pure indulgence for the sweet tooth.

Or do you prefer something savoury? Then stroll on over to Kultur Bakery, a true paradise for sourdough lovers. Here you can already taste the scent of freshly baked bread on the street. Think crispy baguettes, artisanal sourdough breads and freshly baked cinnamon rolls. You can find all that with a dash of Ghent charm.

The inspiring world of Ivy & Ray

Ivy & Ray is a place to get quiet about. Evelyn welcomes you to her boutique and gallery full of contemporary design and carefully selected objects that really know how to touch. Delicate, minimalist and above all, inspiring. We can also see this in the latest shoe collections. Go for the elegant Prada Saffiano pumps or Bottega Veneta ballerinas. Still at the Italian houses: inspiring bags like the Andiamo Clutch in striking silver and the generous Rumple Shoulder Bag

For exactly the same atmosphere, you can also feel just down the road at Charles De Cordier, a gallery where contemporary art comes into its own in all its power and purity. Together, they form a perfect combination for those seeking beauty in forms, textures and meaning. A visit to these two addresses feels like a walk through a world where aesthetics and emotion come together.
