Once Essentiel Antwerp gets into your wardrobe, plain clothes start to feel like a missed opportunity. The good news is that the label is part of a small, joyful corner of fashion built on print and colour. If you love the Belgian house, here are the brands worth knowing next, and what each one does differently.

The print and colour brands to know

Stine Goya

The closest match in spirit. The Copenhagen label trades in painterly prints, saturated colour, and an art-school sense of fun, much like Essentiel Antwerp. Stine Goya leans a touch more Scandinavian and graphic where the Belgians lean floral and embellished. Browse Stine Goya at Luxury Shoes if you want print with a cooler, gallery-wall edge.

La DoubleJ

For maximalism turned all the way up. The Milan label mixes vintage-inspired prints, clashing borders, and rich retro colour across dresses and separates. It is bolder and more decorative than Essentiel Antwerp, and a little dressier. See La DoubleJ at Luxury Shoes for print with a 1970s Italian swagger.

Alémais

The Australian answer to dopamine dressing. Alémais builds collections around hand-drawn prints, embroidery, and a strong sustainability streak. The mood is sunlit and resort-leaning, so it pairs naturally with the Essentiel Antwerp pieces you reach for on holiday. Shop Alémais at Luxury Shoes .

Aje

Also from Australia, Aje sits slightly more pared back, with print used in considered doses against sculptural, textural shapes. If you love the Belgian colour habit but want some quieter pieces in the mix, Aje is the bridge. Explore Aje at Luxury Shoes .

How to choose between them

Think about how loud you want to go. Essentiel Antwerp and La DoubleJ are the maximalists, all print and embellishment. Stine Goya is the artful middle ground. Alémais brings the holiday mood, and Aje gives you print you can dial down for work. Most wardrobes end up with two of these rather than one, because each handles colour a little differently.

Whichever way you lean, start from the brand you already trust. Read the Essentiel Antwerp story, learn how to style the prints, and shop the full Essentiel Antwerp collection at Luxury Shoes .
