“Why shouldn’t you have a store” she said.

It all begins with an idea, a possibility. Maybe you want to start something new, a business. Maybe you want to turn an interest into something more than just that theoretical idea or fantasy.

Already in the world of antiques, vintage and design, the Kloosterstraat in Antwerp was a weekly visit for us. And all of a sudden you find yourself in front of a vacant store, available for rent.

“Why shouldn’t you have a store?” I was asked at that moment . Not able to reply with a good reason I needed to ask myself the same question. And three days later I suddenly was the proud owner of a store.

The most dreadful question I know is “What if?”. If you don’t try it, you will never know what could have been. Be confident and don’t overthink it. And (RE)APPROVED by V.A.Antiquités opened it’s doors with pride on the 14th of may 2021.
