About Essentiel Antwerp
Essentiel Antwerp is a Belgian contemporary label based in Antwerp, founded in 1999 by Inge Onsea and Esfan Eghtessadi. It began as a T-shirt collection in twenty colours, a deliberate answer to a monochrome market, and grew into a full ready-to-wear house. The brand is known for graphic and floral prints in vivid, mixed colour, and it sits in the accessible contemporary tier rather than formal high luxury. Collections are designed in Antwerp and produced in Europe, with much of the range made in Italy and Portugal. It is a Luxury Handbags editor favourite for women who want their everyday wardrobe to feel joyful rather than safe.
“The Essentiel Antwerp Lilac maxi dress with ruffled neckline and tie-back detail in Purple is the kind of Dresses I reach for when a wardrobe needs colour. The print is confident, the cut is easy to wear, and it restyles without effort. This is contemporary dressing with a real point of view.”
