HIGH-END VINTAGE STORE
Hi it’s me, Elke Vandormael.
The woman behind Avalon vintage. You might wonder who I am so here we go…
A former restaurant owner/chef & an interior designer on the side I wanted to start something new. After having my wonderful son Scott now 2,5 years ago (and the Corona years passing by) I took a little sabbatical before starting up several new projects. Me and my husband set up our vintage watch store Héritage (www.heritage-antwerp.be) already 3 years ago, in the heart of Antwerp along the Botanic hotel. As well as our renovation company where we renovate and design interiors. I am most passionate about the midcentury modern style and houses from the '50's & 60's. This has been a long passion of mine and I love setting up all these new projects.
For years I have also been a very passionate vintage collector , whether it’s interior design, watches, jewellery , designer bags and clothes. There is an undefined feel you have wearing something special that you cannot just find everywhere or has been through some history already.
​
Next to that it’s a sustainable plus when you help to re-use already existing items that are out there . I sell a specific range of items and I don’t just accept or sell any item. I find it very important to only sell items in a very good condition or that were never worn. Classy, elegant and sophisticated and made from beautiful materials to last for years again.

So let’s have a look into Avalon’s closet and maybe you’ll find just that what you’ve been looking for all along !
