Maëlan, our in-house carpenter and joiner, also happens to love cooking. Once a month, he prepares lunch for a bunch of us - the lucky few - at work. It’s a tradition that we absolutely love, and we thought it was high time to share some of his dishes with our community. His recipes are all about going back-to-basics. They’re simple, super tasty, well balanced and can be ready in less than 20 minutes, which is perfect because we’re all pretty busy anyway. Everything is prepared right here in our communal kitchen at Bellerose HQ.
Generally speaking, Maëlan prefers working with ingredients that are fresh and organic, locally produced when possible. Nothing too crazy or extravagant either, everything can be found in your local grocery store, health food store or supermarket.
Working instinctively, he doesn’t obsess over getting the quantities just right and in that same style, he usually adds or drops an ingredient as he goes along. Keeping it simple works, as it leaves room for creativity. We hope you can add some yours too!
And now, we’ll let the man himself do the talking. Tell ‘em, Maëlan!

Maëlan, our in-house carpenter and joiner, also happens to love cooking. Once a month, he prepares lunch for a bunch of us - the lucky few - at work, in 20 minutes tops. Here’s a perfect recipe for those days in-between seasons : Maëlan’s Mushroom Toast.
It’s no wonder that Helena’s jewelry blends into the Bellerose universe so seamlessly, as we share a love for designs that are both timeless and contemporary, with great diversity in colors and textures. We recently got the chance to discover her world, including her stunning apartment, her neighborhood and her workshop. At the same time, it allowed us to ask her some of the questions that had been on our mind for while already.
For this year’s International Women’s Day, we’re joining forces with 4 of our current favorite female illustrators. We approached them to create an exclusive illustration to reflect their take on what it’s like to be a woman. All revenue from the prints will be going to SEDT , a non-profit organization that provides access to education, coaching and workshops for dalit girls and women in rural Tamil Nadhu, India.
As Belgium is a rather small country, we tend to get very excited when some of our people make it to the Olympic Games. One of the young athletes that’ll be representing Belgium in 2020 is 400-metres runner Camille Laus, whom we’ll be following on her road to Tokyo. Cool, ambitious, passionate and Brussels-based, one could say she’s cut from the same cloth we are.
It’s what you grab last before you head out the door, but it should be the first thing on your mind now that Spring is fast approaching: Here’s four looks to show you how you can do jackets right; today, tomorrow, next month and next year.
Virginie is the heart and soul of our Rue de Saintonge store in Paris, and she’s also an expert at creating unique looks. So, we let her do what she does best and she put together 4 looks that are boyish, stylish and extremely wearable.
City kids love the fresh air and easy-does-it vibe of the countryside. Kids in the countryside love a dose of the city’s hustle and bustle. We wanted the best of both worlds, so we visited an inspiring urban farming project in London. Donkeys, rabbits, vegetables and a greenhouse, with some skyscrapers in the background. The perfect setting for a collection that is vibrant and colorful, with a playful and rebellious touch.
Our Pre-Spring drop is all about the ability to interpret creatively, mixing and matching to achieve a style that’s self-assured, vibrant and street chic. Whether it’s work or play, the city or the outdoors, we’ve got layers and layers of the good stuff.
Outerwear is all about making the right choices. You can wear whatever you want underneath, ranging from a vintage Chanel dress to denim overalls with busted knees, but the wrong jacket will ruin everything you’re going for. We created a bunch of extremely wearable Bellerose looks for different occasions. Each of those looks was then elevated with the perfect jacket or coat.
We’re teaming up with The Hambledon for a Bellerose pop-up store, running until February 29th. The perfect excuse to put the spotlight on one of our favourite retailers. To find out all about The Hambledon, their philosophy, the inspirations behind the store and the city of Winchester, we asked founder Victoria some questions. She answered them brilliantly.
