About the concept
My passion project
The Collection One
The Collection One has been part of my life for many years. Seven years ago I started with a webshop, and five years I welcomed people into my own store. In 2024 I decided to close the doors of the shop and shift into e-commerce, working at inspiring companies. Last year I had the privilege of joining Vanilia, a beautiful sustainable brand that, sadly, has since gone bankrupt. Now I work at OGÈR, a multibrand store that stands for quality and craftsmanship.
When I made the decision to stop with the store, I never imagined closing The Collection One entirely. I always felt it would come alive again, in another way. That feeling unfolded in the summer of 2025, after I had settled into my new full-time role. I realized I missed having a place where I could collect and share the brands and places that inspire me: places led by people with love, passion and dedication to their craft.
This was once the essence of my shop: giving a stage to garments that carry beauty and meaning. Now, The Collection One evolves into something broader: a platform. A calm space to discover timeless clothing, inspiring interiors, cafés, and corners of the world, all connected by people who create with heart.
It is, and will remain, my passion project.
More about me
I studied fashion, followed by commercial economics, and I have mostly worked in retail. During my student job in a boutique in the Nine Streets, I first discovered what true quality means. That is when I began investing in well-made pieces: always checking the labels, always considering what would be a thoughtful addition to my wardrobe and my life.
In my free time, I love connecting with inspiring people, visiting museums and exploring beautiful places that spark creativity.
