For €50 you can buy a jacket at the Antwerp high street Meir – or you could wear a different designer coat for the same price, every week. With a subscription to the clothing library Les Rebelles d’Anvers you can look like a million dollars without having to break the bank.

we introduced you to Les Rebelles d’Anvers, now the owners Veerle and Emelie opened a pop-up for three months at Begijnenstraat 66. They were able to attract big brands such as Filippa K. and Café Costume. All designers share the sustainable ideology of Les Rebelles d’Anvers.

Now they're entering the next fase: finding out if people are actually willing to buy a membership card to the clothing library. On the first four days, the demand was higher than the offer. They ran out of membership cards and urgently needed to refill their stock.

Les Rebelles d’Anvers is on the one hand a handy way to discover new brands, such as the promising Belgian designer Doriane van Overeem. On the other hand, you have the unique opportunity to wear high-end brands which would be overpriced if you had to really buy the clothing.

Practical information

• for one month - or 10 rentals - you pay €50, the entire three month pop-up will cost you €120
• you can take three items per visit, including accessories; the Sennheiser headphones that you can match to your outfit are probably the most eye-catching
• there's no hurry since you can keep all clothing for two weeks
• on Thursdays and Fridays you can pop in after work, because the library is open until 19:30 PM
