Essentiel Antwerp

Having started out as a basic T-shirt collection in 1999, Essentiel Antwerp today is a colourful ready-to-wear womenswear brand that injects a little glamour into everyday attire. The label was founded by Esfan Eghtessadi, the son of fashion designer Nicole Cadine, and his wife Inge Onsea, who originally used their own apartment as a showroom. Due to continued demand for their fun and high-quality designs, they soon expanded into knitwear, jackets, dresses, shirts and trousers, in vibrant colours and new materials.
