Belgian luxury resale house founded in 2012 by Birgit de Jager, authenticating and reselling pre-owned Chanel, Hermès and Louis Vuitton; its flagship boutique opened in Antwerp in 2018, with a further store in Knokke since 2022.

Labellov was founded in 2012 by Birgit de Jager, who built the company out of a personal interest in vintage designer pieces, starting with a small resale collection that grew into a dedicated luxury resale business. The company, registered as TIMELESS04 BV, is based in Belgium rather than the Netherlands: its flagship boutique opened in Antwerp in 2018, followed by a permanent store in the coastal town of Knokke in 2022, with a further location in Sint-Martens-Latem. In 2025 Labellov acquired DesignerWishBags, a resale business that had specialized in Chanel handbags, folding its inventory and customer base into the wider operation. Every item Labellov sells — bags, accessories and apparel from houses including Chanel, Hermès and Louis Vuitton — goes through an in-house authentication process that checks serial numbers, hardware, stitching and other brand-specific construction details before sale, with each piece issued a certificate of authenticity. The company has stated plans for further expansion into other European markets.
Vintage clothing and design shop on Haarlemmerstraat in Amsterdam, founded in 2011, selling curated designer vintage from the 1950s-90s alongside leather bags, scarves and jewelry. Has a sister store, We Are Vintage, at separate Amsterdam addresses.
Best for Amsterdam vintage clothing and denim
Rumors Vintage & Design is a vintage clothing and accessories shop in Amsterdam, founded in 2011 and located on Haarlemmerstraat, one of the city's older shopping streets running through the historic Haarlemmerbuurt at the edge of the Jordaan. The shop stocks curated designer and second-hand pieces spanning roughly the 1950s through the 1990s, including denim (Levi's among the labels cited), Dr. Martens boots, leather jackets and bags, silk scarves, dead-stock sunglasses and vintage jewelry, with an emphasis on French vintage designer pieces alongside more everyday retro clothing. It operates alongside a sister shop, We Are Vintage, run by the same team at separate addresses elsewhere in Amsterdam (Eerste van Swindenstraat and Kinkerstraat). As a curated resale operation rather than a thrift or charity shop, Rumors positions its stock around specific eras and named designer labels rather than a general secondhand mix, drawing both local shoppers and visitors browsing Amsterdam's vintage-shopping circuit centered on the Jordaan and Nine Streets area.

Best for Black & Bloom roasts specialty coffee in Groningen and pours filter, espresso
Black & Bloom was founded by Gerben Engelkes on August 2, 2012, after several years running two locations of a coffee franchise in Groningen starting in 2008. Two SCAE (Speciality Coffee Association of Europe) courses pushed him toward an independent operation with full creative control over sourcing and roasting rather than a franchise format. The shop buys specialty-grade, single-origin coffee bought in season from producers worldwide, with a stated goal of becoming a leading specialty-coffee source within Groningen's coffee culture. Espresso runs through a Synesso machine, and filter coffee is served through Hario, Kalita, and Aeropress methods, giving the bar several ways to show the same beans. Freshly roasted bags of coffee and tea ship nationally through the webshop, with free delivery over fifty euros, and the beans themselves have placed in Dutch national roasting and brewing competitions. The result is a small-city roaster built around one person's move from franchise management to hands-on sourcing and roasting — a bar in Groningen city center where the equipment and the season-driven bean list are as much the point as the espresso and filter drinks themselves.
