Hardwerk x Fogeltje – Leeuwarden
Fryslân has been on the radar here for some time, especially after a recent tour of Leeuwarden. Beautiful coffee bars, cozy vintage shops and sustainable concept stores. And something in between that bears the special name Hardwerk x Fogeltje. Oh so nice.
Hardwerk x Fogeltje is run by brother Lieuwe and sister Itske and we think that alone is fun. It gets even sweeter, because Fogeltje was once the pet name their father had for their 'mem' and later also the name of his own second-hand shop. Frisian blood flows where it cannot go and so Lieuwke later opened his own shop. Sister Itske had the same ambition and this is how the Hardwerk x Fogeltje family business was born; a vintage interior shop slash sustainable fashion store slash record store.
Also sustainable and beautiful and in Ljouwert: Nørd Concept Store.
The duo sell great sustainable clothing from brands such as Nudie, Armed Angels, Nümph and Selected Femme. Plus cool vintage finds such as an old school desk or a beautiful wooden sideboard. We fell for the nice lampshades and the handsome (good!) rugs. And of course for the other trinkets, because there can never be enough beautiful glasses and vases. Hoarders unite you know.
