Antwerp (Eurotoday) – Sisters-in-law Dora Vas and Hanalie Van Passel opened an Es Cucons pop-up in Antwerp’s Mechelseplein, featuring curated style and design items, running Wednesday–Saturday until mid-January 2026.

As GVA News reported, Sisters-in-law Dora Vas and Hanalie Van Passel are taking their 1st step into Antwerp with their concept store Es Cucons, following a successful opening in Mortsel last year.

“The concept store in Mortsel is doing well. We’re getting great feedback from customers. That’s why we wanted to launch the same concept in the city,”

Hanalie and Dora say.

How are Dora Vas and Hanalie Van Passel expanding Es Cucons in Antwerp?

According to officials, the space is designed to be inviting, filled with style, ambience, and small treasures.

“We want our store to be a place where you feel instant happiness, with a warm, positive atmosphere that envelops you the moment you step inside,”

says Hanalie.

The shop features a wide selection of items, including delicate fragrances, ceramics, jewellery, fashion accessories, home décor, clothing, and gifts. Like their Mortsel location, the sisters-in-law collaborate with local designers to present a curated range that matches their taste. The Es Cucons pop-up in Antwerp will remain open until mid-January 2026, welcoming visitors from Wednesday to Saturday between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., offering a seasonal experience.

“Our selection reflects what we love to wear and have at home,”

adds Dora.

“They’re little treasures that add that little something extra to everyday life, things that bring you joy again and again.”

Sisters-in-law Dora Vas and Hanalie Van Passel opened their 1st Es Cucons store in Mortsel in November 2024. Inspired by their time in Ibiza, the store offers style, design, and small treasures for home and personal use. 

They mentioned that Es Cucons, which means cocoon, reflects the store’s goal of creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Dora and Hanalie plan to bring the same energy and selection of curated items to Antwerp this winter.
