As we step into 2025, Flanders DC gathered insights from some of Belgium's innovative creatives to discuss their goals, hopes, and strategies for the year ahead. Among them, Helga Meersmans and Ine Verhaert, the founders of KAAI.
They share their perspective on the growing and ongoing trend of "everyday luxury handbags". Designed for women seeking elegance and functionality for life on the go. The rising interest in small premium brands offering high-quality craftmanship aligns perfectly with KAAI's goal of creating timeless, long-lasting pieces.
