Sekimori-Ishi (関守石) small
The Japanese “guard stone” from tea gardens

A quiet gatekeeper for your garden or home. Inspired by the tea gardens of Kyoto, where hosts guide their guests with subtle elegance. Crafted with stones from the Dutch Maas River, each rock is unique. This “stopping stone” brings two cultures together in one simple gesture.

Inspired by Japanese design, made in the Netherlands.

't Antwerps Kantwinkeltje is closing its doors.

The shop sits on the Handschoenmarkt, the small square beside the Cathedral of Our Lady, Antwerp's old center, where stepped gable houses in brick and sandstone still line the square much as they did centuries ago. One facade nearby carries the date 1564, crowned with a gilded bird catching the light above the rooftops.

Look up at the cathedral itself and the detail multiplies. Tier upon tier of carved saints and bishops set into the stonework of the portal, sheltered under ribbed Gothic arches, with narrative reliefs of biblical scenes carved directly into the wall beside the door. Centuries of stonemasons' work, still standing.

It's in this setting, old brick, old stone, old craft, that the last lace shop in the city has operated. 't Antwerps Kantwinkeltje: handmade Flemish and Bruges lace, sold the way it has been for a hundred years. Not lace "inspired by," but the work itself: veils, collars, tablecloths, doilies, each one hours of thread and patience.

With the shop's closing, something disappears that doesn't easily come back. We've been able to acquire a selection of their lace for AVEC AVEC STORE. taken in Antwerp, Belgium by @avecavec.store

BLACK TEE [01]
Weight you can feel. The BLACK TEE is cut from 7.5oz heavyweight cotton, garment dyed for a worn-in depth of colour. Dropped shoulders, extra width, a slightly shorter length. A boxy silhouette that stands on its own. An everyday piece, built to be lived in.
Fits oversized. Take your normal size.

EXOSKELETON SHIRT [02] / [03]
A shirt with a spine. The EXOSKELETON SHIRT is reworked from a vintage Italian 100% cotton shirt, gathered along the back into a vertebral construction that turns fabric into anatomy. Soft cotton, held in tension. Somewhere between garment, object and body.
One-of-a-kind. Once it's gone, it's gone.

Handmade Bruges Lace Single Bloom
Sourced directly from The Antwerp Lace Shop — the last lace shop in the city, closing after more than three generations of a family dedicated to the craft of lace. A handmade Bruges lace piece with a single bloom.

At its centre, a single flower grows between flowing leaves and sculptural, looping borders. Each detail was shaped by hand using a technique now practiced by only a handful of artisans in Europe.

Part textile, part drawing and part disappearing history. Acquired shortly before the shop’s permanent closure, this piece is available in extremely limited numbers. by @avecavec.store

Notes from Kyoto. Lace is everywhere in the city's taxis. Seat covers, headrests, rear shelves. It began as a postwar gesture of cleanliness and hospitality and never left.

Celebrating beauty through daily use. This is what we mean when we talk about Tomoni.

The Sneaker Series, Ektor Ntourakos

Sneaker I–IV, Ektor Ntourakos, Oil on canvas, 2026.

A sneaker, or the idea of one. Sourced from magazines and advertising, carried into the studio, reborn as paint. Across four canvases, Ektor Ntourakos returns to the same object — not to repeat, but to look again. Each painting is a separate act of stillness: the city slowed down, one canvas at a time.

Ntourakos works at the intersection of urban culture and stillness. Where media produces speed, his paintings slow things down. The canvas holds what the scroll lets go.

Sneaker II, III and IV remain available individually.

Price on request, please contact office@avecavec.eu

A sneaker, or the idea of one. Sourced from magazines and advertising, carried into the studio, reborn as paint. Blurred. Zoomed in to where the everyday dissolves into atmosphere.

Ektor Ntourakos works at the intersection of urban culture and stillness. Where media produces speed, his paintings slow things down. The canvas holds what the scroll lets go.

Available as a single work, or as part of the complete collection of four paintings.

Sneaker II, Ektor Ntourakos
The same subject, a different silence. Where Sneaker I pressed close, Sneaker II shifts the gaze — softer folds, more open atmosphere, the object even further from itself. Paint that moves like fabric. A shape caught between recognition and abstraction.

Ntourakos returns to the sneaker not to repeat, but to look again. Each painting in the series is a separate act of stillness — the city slowed down, one canvas at a time.

Handmade Bruges Lace Twin Bloom

Sourced directly from The Antwerp Lace Shop — the last lace shop in the city, now closing after more than three generations devoted to the craft.

Handmade using the traditional Bruges lace technique, this delicate piece features two blooming flowers connected by winding stems and ornamental curls. The open structure gives the lace an almost drawn quality, as though the motif has been sketched in thread.

We sourced only a small number before the shop closes its doors for good. Once they are gone, they cannot be replaced. taken in Antwerpen, Belgium by @avecavec.store
