Once upon a time...
9 years ago, I picked up Gilera in Utrecht
a little puppy who would change my life forever. Together, we embarked on our first adventure in the south of the Netherlands, hand in paw, and soon discovered that our bond was stronger than any fairy tale.
In 2021, we started a new chapter.
We moved to the cookie capital of Belgium, Antwerp, for love. Gilera, always ready for a treat, had no problem with this, of course. She enjoyed every new street, discovering parks and soaking in the fragrant, cozy atmosphere that Antwerp has to offer.
It was the perfect place for us to grow.
Living in this beautiful city brought us new inspiration. Every day in Antwerp surrounded by history, culture, and the cutest dogs sparked a new idea:
A webshop that reflects everything we stand for.
Because in our lives, everything revolves around dogs, fashion, and, of course, Antwerp. From handmade dog beds to the most beautiful dog fashion, our webshop is an ode to our love for dogs and the city that stole our hearts.
And so, our fairytale continues—with Gilera by my side, in the city where happiness, adventure, and a love for dogs come together.
October 4, 2023...
On Animal Day 2023 our dream came true:
Our webshop Gigi Antwerp went online!
And of course it can't be done without Gilera,
who plays the leading role with her charm and flair.
She is convinced that she is a model,
and believe me, she's right!
She knows exactly how to attract attention
– her smile and pose are unmistakable.
Gilera ensures that our webshop is not only
is a source of inspiration, but also a bit of magic
adds to the fashion world for dogs.
Paws up...
Our furever mission was born from the pure love for dogs
and the belief that every dog, regardless of origin, breed or past, deserves to be seen and loved.
We want to give misunderstood and neglected dogs a stage, so that they get the chance to flourish in an environment of love, care and responsibility. We believe that with the right upbringing and a heart full of love, every dog can grow into the most loyal and loving soul mate.
Whether you are a foundation, an animal shelter or an individual looking to make a difference, we are here to work together.
Can we be of service to you, your foundation or an animal shelter in your area? Don't hesitate to contact us.
Only together can we create a world where every
dog finds his FUR-ever home. 💖
Antwerp...
Like a stranger in an endless stream of pleasures.
Like a river that carelessly passes all the places on its way to the sea, that's how I feel sometimes.
Caught in the uncertainty of someone insignificant.
But then there is Antwerp, where you are embraced as a friend.
Then there is the Scheldt, which twice a day tries to let a sea of love flow over the blue stone.
The mere recognition of warmth and affection puts the city on the map. Confused and admonished by romance, I realize that my stay should not be finite.
Antwerp, city of cookies
catch me as often as you can and I promise that at least one room of my heart will bear your name.
