Thank God it's Freitag!

Last Friday, October 30, Freitag took over 290 Square Meters for a night. The Swiss recycled freeway bag label moved into the special seperate space of the cool concept store, which makes 290 Square Meters the biggest Dutch selling point of Freitag now. Perfect excuse for a little party with the two founders, brothers Daniel and Markus Freitag. People were invited to check out the new space and were also introduced to BEN & LEO, the laptop bags, which are the newest Freitag designs. It was no common launch for Freitag, they threw in a truckers' theme and added some yummy hamburgers, beer, a country singer and an arm wrestling match with professionals to it. So besides mingling and thinking about which Freitag bag to buy, people also had the chance to show off their muscles. However most of them were too shy, but at least the brothers were brave enough to step up to the challenge and battled against the Mr. Strong Arm Wrestler #4. Respect!

It's open! United Nude flagship store in Amsterdam

Last Thursday, November 22, was a great night for United Nude, the shoe brand of architect Rem D. Koolhaas and shoe designer Galahad JD Clark. The iconic label, known for its intersection between design and fashion, opened up the first Dutch flagship store in Amsterdam, so there was every reason for celebration.

With Bombay Sapphire (thanks Pieter and Michelle!) rocking the bar, guests enjoyed yummy cocktails while touring around the store. Founder and creative director Rem D. Koolhaas designed the interior and presented a Wall of Light. Big WOW factor! Sonny Groo, great stylist and Mykromag founder, helped us out and created a wonderful tableau vivant (we take a deep thank you bow for you, Sonny!). After the little block party at the store, the party continued at supperclub where Clyde Semmoh, Jeroen Koolhaas and DJ Joey Ransom, who was flown in from London, hit some great tunes. What a night, what a night!

Check it out: United Nude, Spuistraat 125.

Deutsches Design meets Amsterdam

It was the final weekend of August: the days already started to become shorter and a glimpse of the annual attention shifts to stay indoors rather than going outdoors. With this run-up to the cosy, darker days of the year, Loewe opened its newest Gallery in Amsterdam; embellishing the entrance of Amsterdam’s most popular park, the Vondelpark. Spice invited a selection of journalists for a champagne brunch, to get acquainted with the exclusive Loewe Gallery. With its own mini-cinema and the special light effects, the new Gallery especially focuses on experiencing the world of Loewe. The opening speech of Renie Danneels, Managing Director of Loewe Opta Benelux, said it appropriately: ‘This Gallery is a place that completely stands for our brand’
