My bag is more than a utensil for me. I think it is a beautiful and simple yet powerful design.

I never thought I would be photographed here with all these beautiful ladies. It was a wonderful day, and I'm glad I can still experience this at my old age. Thank you for that.

Thank you for this opportunity to step out of my comfort zone!

The shape of the bags reflects the feeling of being an explorer, such as the leather camera bag of a photographer or a plant collector from the last century. They are functional, with no frills, yet they have so much character.

The d.b. wine bag is not only a great unisex bag, but we also carry our favourite wines in it. And the fact that it is made out of the residue of grapes makes it even more special.

A timeless, pure and aesthetic handbag that you can match with all your clothes.

The unique design and material make the bag both practical and fashionable. Depending on how I style it, it can go from classy and elegant to cool and edgy.

My first Lies Mertens bag remains my favourite bag. Already five years old. I cycle a lot in all types of weather, and the quality remains premium!

I love the vibe of Lies Mertens. Cozy but chic and minimal. Fits every outfit. A bag represents the contemporary design.

Maarten made the first online order as a birthday present for me. The bag is still holding up after five years of daily use — a gift for love, treated with love.

I had a handbag that I wanted to buy for my wedding. While I was working out at the gym, my fiance cheerfully came by with the bag hanging around his neck. This handbag will always have a special meaning :).

My bag from Lies is a piece of Antwerp creativity that I always carry with me. Time after time, I am surprised at how much I can fit into it. And that in a stylish and beautiful way... Indispensable.

A bag full of meaning. I had to put myself out there to get where I needed to be. This bag reminds me of the journey and the great relief at the end.

H: Its simplicity makes you shine. It makes me feel complete! L: I rarely go outside without my Lies Mertens handbag. It is truly an extension of myself.

A minimalistic, timeless style is what I’m looking for in a handbag. A practical, loyal companion to carry my personal items with me, such as my sunglasses in summer and lip balm in winter.

I am totally Lies struck!

The best Christmas present ever! :)

It is a timeless and modern model. As a result, I feel more professional and confident when I take it to client appointments.

The functional, qualitative and architectural combination attracts me to the brand. I have had a backpack for several years, and I am sure I will enjoy using it for many years to come.

My all-time favourite is my Lien bag. It takes me everywhere now that I’ve started my own business.

Each day, we are growing and there are more and more stories to tell. People are always a source to which we return, in the midst of a changing and chaotic world. After all, a dream world is easier to portray than a powerful, honest reality. For that reason, we wanted our customers do the talking. It was such a beautiful day in the studio and I am still smiling when I think of that day.

Thanks to all participants of this campaign. Thank you Els, Laurence, Tatjana, William, Elisabeth, Myriam, Katrien, Mera, Karl, Sarah, Maarten, Andrée, Pauline, Emma, Yuan Yuan, Subin, Floortje, Ria, Bram, Liesbeth, Hawa, Hendrik, Bas, Lien, Imade, Karen en Rinaëlle. And also thank you to everyone who has bought a bag from us over the past 5 years.

And last but not least, a big thank you to the team who made all this possible:
Thank you Leni, Julia, Anne, Anne, Jef, Max, Marnik, Ikram, Jasmijn & Vincent. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you!
